Corsa sounds the most aggressive but it has the unfair advantage of cat delete and headers. A corsa with stock headers and cats will sound on par with the others
This is so incredibly useful when you have no idea what sound you're gonna get until you hear these side by side. GREAT VIDEO!! I'm really glad I waited 3 more years for the Z06 because I prefer an F1 Formula sound which is what my Z06 sounds like. It even sounds better than the Ferrari 458 which is what the Z06 is based off of. My Z06 SCREEEEEAMS going down the road. Its like a symphony to my ears.
Love this sound comparison with the C8’s. I own a C6Z with RPM’s Stage 4 Package, no cats and an Akropovic Titanium exhaust. I tried this test. At idle my car was at 120 decibels. 😅. I’ll need to try again and see what decibel number it reaches on start-up as well as revs like these guys did. Cheers!
I feel like the corsa was the most obnoxious, it had full exhaust from header back. But I think the cat back borla sounded the best imo. Just enough and not too much.
My Camaro SS1LE sounded great stock. Didn’t touch it. Now my C8 Z06 is the same story. I haven’t heard an exhaust that sounds clearly better. Louder, yes. But not better.
Carlos, Great content and video! Loved seeing you and Mike filming together too! We'll be down in the DFW area for Veterans Day Weekend car shows. I'll be with the VetteSyndicate Boy's at Black Rifle Coffee Co. Hope to see and check out your car in person while I'm down. Hands down, I liked the sound of your Borla Attak the best! It had a nice low throaty sound. Have you had any problems with check engine lights or anything? Thanks -Shane
This should be unpopular. I still like the stock exhaust sound the best, to me it has a more exotic tone especially sitting in the car. Do I wish it was louder in the car sometimes? yeah maybe. Not trying to trash any of the others, it is awesome that there are so many choices but to me they are all just loud and don't really match the vibe of the car (more muscle, less exotic). Anyway, just my view, thanks for doing these comparisons.
All of these sound great, I have a C8 HTC and looking to get headers, cats, and exhaust installed. I am also in the DFW area. Is there a shop that does good work on Vette’s in the area you would recommend?
Hey Korey. So technically a certified C8 technician found at a reputable Chevy dealership will be able to handle that kind of install easily so id start there. I did have my Borla installed by a chevy service technician but that was back when i lived in Florida and started doing most of my own work afterwards. If your looking for somewhere outside of dealerships, id recommend Corvette World of Dallas as a place as well to check out. Hope that helps 👍
Next time keep the same distance and height with the decibel meter from the what your trying to measure. Distance makes a huge difference when measuring decibels.
So mine was one of the first C8s to get the Borla ATAK when it first came out and has about 18,000 miles on the exhaist since install. Its thrown a CEL 3 separate times. Two times was near initial install. Technician and Borla did a troubleshoot and it was because the NPP valves, made by Borla, needed to be broken in and werent moving "fast enough" for the Computers taste and threw the CEL. It was a quick reset and i was fine so no issue functionally wise. The 3rd time was at the 12k miles mark which actually went away by itself by the next drive actually but confirmed it was the valves again which resolved itself. I had the valves recalculated when it was initially installed. Hope that helps 👍
@@daphnen5296 i can only speak with respect to the borla drone as ive never sat in a C8 and cruised around with a corsa installed to determine the drone level. That being said Borla has absolutely no drone if your cruising casually in top gear on the highway and the revs are low. Pretty comparable to stock in my honest opinion. Its not until you hit the throttle that it comes alive and your playing into the medium to high revs. Hope that helps
In ordered to be trespassed, they have to ask you to leave first (or have the cops ask you to leave first on behalf of the property owners). Then if you do not leave, it's considered trespassing. So I really hope you weren't trespassed for no reason
No one ever came up to me a single time beforehand. The cops had come first. Had someone come up and asked me to leave, i would have happily left with no issue.
@@NuHorizonC8 wow. You were trespassed for no reason. Those cops either took advantage of you not knowing, or they themselves did not know (which wouldn't be surprising because cops often do not know basic laws)
Nice man, you caught it all great! Thanks for the shoutout! It was great hanging out and filming with you Saturday! 👍😊
Thanks Bro! Glad we could make some good videos together 💪!
I really like how smooth the Borla one sounded

Glad to hear it Zvuk! thats awesome you have the Z06! I definitely love that flat plane crank engine sound from it. It sounds absolutely amazing!
Borla atak sounds the best
You should tag the different exhausts at the end with readings.
Corsa by far!
I have the Corsa Extreme muffler delete catback on my 2020 C8 Z51 and it is still Loud even with stock cats and stock headers!
Feel like the Borla is the best sounding one
I definitely love the Borla! It makes such a great sound!
I agree. Just enough and not too obnoxious.
Stock for the money don’t cost anything and sounds great.
Love this sound comparison with the C8’s.

I don’t know the Parigon or the borla if I get a stingray
I could go for AWE, Borla, or Paragon almost equally. It would have to come down to cost, features, and looks.
Wow - that AWE! I heard it at Carlisle, best out there! Thanks for a great vuideo!
I feel like the corsa was the most obnoxious, it had full exhaust from header back. But I think the cat back borla sounded the best imo. Just enough and not too much.
Could not hear what the results were for each system-maybe you could list them???
Who owns the what and burgundy ones. Love the rim set up
Great Video Brother!!
Thank you bro!
corsa sounds the best
I think the stock exhaust sounds fantastic as is
The stock Z51 NPP sounds finely tuned and more exotic than the aftermarket. I agree fantastic as is.
I have a 2022 Z51 and I love the exhaust sound. It is perfect I agree! Can't justify the $$ to switch it. For now.... :o)
I don't disagree.
My Camaro SS1LE sounded great stock. Didn’t touch it. Now my C8 Z06 is the same story. I haven’t heard an exhaust that sounds clearly better. Louder, yes. But not better.
Wish we had a corsa with stock setup
Carlos,

Paragon sounds the best
Paragon is definitely a great sounding Exhaust for sure!
Paragon looks👌🏻
Really like Paragon track exhaust
All of these sound great, I have a C8 HTC and looking to get headers, cats, and exhaust installed. I am also in the DFW area. Is there a shop that does good work on Vette’s in the area you would recommend?

The one with the headers and cat deletes sounded terrible imo. The stock, 2nd and 4th sounded best.
where did you get that lambo door kit and who installed it? i want to put it on mine

Borla sounds 👍
Have you thrown a CEL anytime after install with your Borla catback setup?
So mine was one of the first C8s to get the Borla ATAK when it first came out and has about 18,000 miles on the exhaist since install. Its thrown a CEL 3 separate times. Two times was near initial install.

Is that a gm npp exhaust?
For the stock yes that is the z51 exhaust with the NPP valves.
I’m getting Borla
Nice! Its an awesome exhaust!
@@NuHorizonC8Corsa borla drone? Which one you think is better?

The c8 with the long tubes sounds like a actual vette😮💨
Thanks for the video! After hearing all of them..I think I’ll stay with stock.
Like the borla! 😎👍
Was that the AWE track or touring exhaust?
Hey Cameron. That was the AWE track I believe.
corsa best
Corsa for the win here.
Borla sounded the best by far.

Borla ❤
The small differences in sound don't really justify the big cost difference.
Borla all day!!
Borla always
Nice vid but idk why be lazy and not put the numbers up on the screen for comparison. Can barely hear anything with all the revving

Stock is very good... and it is not Z51 as we see the rear spoiler..
You can get z51 with an aero delete option
