Deciding on an exhaust
So I recently got a 2013 2SS, and cosmetics have been done. The mod I saved for last was going to be a Borla ATAK catback exhaust, but after the new exhaust laws, I’m not so sure I would pass an official referee. Anyone have any details on the acuual laws, and whether a 2013 SS equipped with the Borla ATAK could pass? I’ve heard great things about a quiet idle but whether the test is at 2500 RPM or 4800, I’m not too sure it would be under 95 dB. Any suggestions or advice would be great.

So I had to get state reffed a few years back. I was stock with the NPP dual mode. I had the fuse pulled and it was going over the 95 dB range, something like 101. I put the fuse back in and they retested and it read exactly 95 dB. Im not sure 100% sure but I believe Borla ATAK is louder than NPP. Anyways, hope my experience helps you make your decision

I had the NPP on my RS, was hoping to do Borla’s because of the Great noise.

Agreed. I have heard the Borla Atak and it is too loud for close neighbors and CARB.
I went with Magnaflow competition axle back on my 15 and now on my 17. Leave the rest of the system alone! |
