ToNew GM exhaust upgrade

[The Incredible Smurf]

I was checking out the price of the Borla (still $1800) and saw a new exhaust option. They claim and improvement of 13hp and 7 lbft tq where no such stat is given for the Borla. They are also charging $2400 for this version. Seems a steep premium over the already amazing Borla system. Anyone know what's up with these?

It peaks my curiosity for sure. However, even an official part, if there’s no mention of tuning after the install… the numbers mean nothing in my opinion. When descriptions use the words “up to” and “can”, that means only under specific conditions.

Bonus points for them saying it wont void warranty.

im thinking thats the GM engineered system.

Agreed on the 'up to' numbers. I doubt there's much between them on that count and not much realized without a tune.

It would be interesting to see if that's the dual mode exhaust and it can be retrofit on the '22s and '23s.

Most of the free flowing exhausts will increase HP/ torque, it's whether or not you notice 4 or 5 HP, which is a 1 % gain. Even if you get 8-10 HP, you might not feel it. Before and after dyno tests are the only way to know for sure.

I love my Borla system that I bought through GM. It’s a little loud when the motor is cold but other than that it’s perfect for me. Who needs a stereo with music like that.

i did same Borla but swapped S type for touring muffler. great system.

Looking at these two exhausts from GM. Comparing the GM pics with the Borla pics, it looks like the $1800 system is the S-type and the $2400 system is the Touring. Anyone think differently? With the current 20% off sale the S-type is slightly less than other vendors. Touring is substantially more than other vendors right now.

GM part number borla branded comes with S type. not sure about the $2400 GM engineered system.

S-Type is awesome too.

$2400???? What's it made of? Titanium? I've had 2 ZL1s, at that money, I had ceramic long tube headers, high flow cats and tune for less. Not sure if the 1500 has cut outs, but guarantee more hp for less than 2500 bucks

I picked mine up for $2100...Borla doesn't offer quad tips. Stainless steel lifetime warranty

Yes sir. While Borla has been a quality manufacturer, the price point has always been steep for me. All things being equal, the HP per dollar trumped all. That said, had my pockets been deeper, I would have added the Borla

Right? Too steep for me. Considering the borla crate mufflers. Seems like almost as good tone for a fraction of the price. No real performance gains either way so why spend the extra $$ for something you can’t see?

I currently have the GM $2400 exhaust, installed it almost 2 years ago. I would classify this one as more of a touring exhaust. Cold start is loud, but overall I think it’s perfect as some say the borla is a bit much. It opens up when you step on it, otherwise it’s present but won’t draw your attention to it. No complaints from the wife lol.
