[@rrace002]

I have the c8 and I think the stock exhaust is good enough.

[@devnull128]

@@rrace002 - that’s kind of like saying 500hp is “good enough”. You know how much horsepower is enough? A little bit more!

[@rrace002]

@@devnull128 True. But that exhaust is not going to add much power

[@devnull128]

@@rrace002 - near zero gain, but sounds excellent! I’ve put a Borla ATAK on the last 3 vettes I’ve owned, and Stingers before that. Huge difference in the car’s personality. For the C8 I’d do it just to get rid of the square tips, but to each his own. If you’re good with the stock sound, awesome! BTW, congratulations on your C8, it’s an amazing car. ;-)

The carbon fiber tips are beautiful!!

[@DemoEvolvedGaming]

I watched a video of a guy with a blacked out c8 and he was all, "its stock". And I couldn't believe it because the sound was just so much better. And I did notice these carbon tips on the car but at the time I thought they were just decorative tips to get rid of the square tips. Anyway, here we are just a few days later and I see that actually the tips were showing the Borla exhaust. So his c8 wasn't stock. What a great job Borla has done making the c8 sound way better than stock.

[@mjo3275]

S-Type with Kooks headers and it will be AMAZING! I have that on my 17 Camaro SS and it sounds perfect. I personally think the ATAK is too raspy.

[@Shaolinxtv]

Just ordered the S-type exhaust as well. Could you let me know how the sound levels are? I'm concerned it might be too quiet. I had the S-type on my 6th Gen Camaro and I absolutely loved the S-type. Hoping it's the same for on my C8!

[@pipe_dev_null]

@@Shaolinxtv Well, at least on my WRX STI (nothing like a C8), it’s fairly loud. Is it the loudest exhaust? No. AWE track and some others are louder. But it sounds really good to me. Makes my little 4banger sound like a mini v8 lol. My all time favorite corvette exhausts are the Billy Boat Bullet systems, but I’m not even sure if they’re around anymore. I’m sure the Borla sounds awesome too though, if they’re anything like what’s on my STI. Good luck!

[@roberthamilton7013]

If you are considering these pass on them. I ordered the Borla ATAK in September of 2021 from my Corvette dealer. They did not arrive until a/4/22. It was so long I decided not install these and had found another product available. Borla with not having even made them yet refused to cancel the order. Grudgingly, I had them installed and low and behold it has an issue that generates a sound like you have a fan belt that is loose. So now I have to order a replacement for 3 to 5 months from now while driving what sounds like a souped up '72 Vega. The candle on top of the icing is that Borla will not pay for the require labor to remove their faulty product and install the new set. They do not have good customer service and will not support you their customer.

[@borla]

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about the long wait for your new exhaust and that it seems to be defective! All Borla Cat-Backs are covered by a Million-Mile manufacturer’s warranty and we would be glad to send you a replacement system. If I may ask, were you working directly with one of our Customer Service team members or your parts distributor for a replacement? We always recommend contacting us directly for issues with our products. Please reach out to our Customer Service Manager for help getting a replacement system and to discuss potential reimbursement. His email address is [e-mail]. Again, I apologize for inconvenience and trouble. We'll get you taken care of. Thank you.

[@richardtessenear2623]

I never post comments, never. In this case, I honestly have to say, Borla did a fantastic Job. I had my exhaust installed this week by my GM dealer, they followed the very detailed and complete install instructions and reprogrammed the NPP per GM guidance. The Master Mechanic said the Borla was the best system he has installed and he thought it sounded the best as well. I have have no comparison on that (he did because he has installed many other manufactures products). What I can say is, I have no issues at all, zero. NPP functions 100%, the sound is amazing in all modes and zero drone. You do hear the burbles and pops more than stock during shifts, that's a good thing. If you have ever owned a BMW M series you would understand what that sounds like during shifting. I'm a regular customer like you with a 180 Degree view on the same product, it sucks when things don't go well; however, sometimes things fail or the install is not done correctly and so on. That's what a warranty is for. My point of all of this is, to recommend to the would online to pass on this product is in poor form. If you had a larger sample size of failure rates and poor manufacturing, we would have facts that could be evaluated. One case doesn't constitute a bad product. I'm glad to see below, Borla willing to work with you on this. I hope you post an update on the outcome. I also want to be clear, this in no way is an attack. My points are no more important than yours, they are just that, our points/opinions based on our results of the same product. I'm just adding additional data points for the rest of the internet to use when considering this product. Good luck

[@roccovaselino]

Question for my old buddy Alvin Tolosa; At the beginning of the video, you're driving with your turn signal on. Whyzat?? BTW, that exhaust sounds amazing. I've had a few Borlas, and I may get one for my '24 C8.

[@kheaslett]

what is the increase in hp & torque for the 2 options ?

[@richlester7451]

I felt let down that they did not mention performance at all.

[@fthomascianci]

When they do the comparisons and they say stock, do they mean stock NPP in Track mode? There is a big difference. I have listened to my car in track mode and guys with AWE and Corsa systems, and was not impressed for all the added costs. It seems Borla has the best engineering and heat shielding, but their prices plus installation costs are around 5K.

Ok finally, BORLA I missed... I had borla on my C5 and loved the sound..of course loud version one. But on C7 I was really disappointed in the sound. Very sad. BUT YOUR back !!!! It is sounding and looking like you took time and did a great job. I don't care about npp valves or making it quite. That's not me.. muscle cars owned since I was young, and I thank you for making it great again. No offense but C7 did not care for at all actually prefer stock exhaust but borla X pipe was added see still supported you.

[@shawncross9359]

Hey David, thank you for putting so much effort and time into the small details making sure that this Borla exhaust will be perfect! I had Borla exhaust on my C6 and have now purchased a C8 Corvette but I didn’t get the Z 51 package or sport exhaust on my car knowing that I’m going to buy the Borla exhaust I have one question for you. Will my car still change the exhaust sounds when going from weather mode , my mode, tour, sport and track not to mention Zora mode. Can the valves be set up to my Modeselektor in the car? Thank you for your time.

[@borla]

Hi! Unfortunately, these systems will only work with C8s with the NPP performance exhaust from factory. It reuses the factory valve actuators or motors in order to move the NPP valves. C8s without the NPP performance exhaust will not have the NPP valve actuators to close and open the NPP valves in our system.

[@raver208]

@@borla The 2023 C8 Z06 has a stock system with a fake exhaust tip in the rear fascia. Engineered to funnel noise into the cabin.

The shop claims the AFM would be a not cause any issues and not affect the need for further turning. Thanks for your response.

After installation of the Borla system, the controllers for the AFM and NPP valves in the exhaust system should be re-calibrated according to GM Document ID 5406413. We highly recommend taking your car to the nearest Chevrolet dealer for exhaust valve recalibration services.
