Hey,

Thanks!

All depends on what you want, and how much you are willing to spend. Nobody in Canada really stocks these on the shelf, so the easiest thing to do it order from the US and pay the shipping and taxes.
The Borla system will run you a cool $6K CAD, Magnaflow is a little cheaper, Akra is $14K, and on the cheaper end of the range is Paragon's non-valved at $3K CAD.
Worth it for marginal power gains and a bit of noise? That's up to you.
All depends what you are after.
The other option is to change out the cats for $900 CAD from a company like 2M. That will get you a bit more volume, and is a decent first step before you throw 3 times the money on a cat back system.

I bought my Borla ATAK with Black tips from a Canadian company for $4800 and had it shipped to my installer here in Ontario. 6k is what the Carbon fiber tipped system goes for but going for the black tips will save you 800-1000 bucks.
There's a few online Canadian retailers who sell it.

I just ordered a MBRP unit for $1,800 shipped + $1,000 for installation.
The next cheapest option was Paragon at $4,000 shipped to Canada with duty + $1,000 for installation. Not worth it for me since I plan on upgrading in the near future.

$3000 USD MagnaFlow, valved, black chrome dual outlets. Gorgeous looking, only outdone by the glorious sound…full throttle is amazing.
Is that the non valved version? Where did you order it from?
They are a Canadian company located in Huntsville. I wonder if you can buy direct from them?
I bought Borla S-Type w/NPP and am having them installed on sept 3 when I’m back from holidays.
I opted for the Carbon fiber tips …. Once installed I’ll be at about $7500 all in.
I did purchase them in the USA, shipped to Maine (I have an address there) and ran down 1 hour and picked them up … in Canada the prices were even more ridiculous

Oh man.. that is crazy price
. I have the performance exhaust option but the sound just doesn’t hit for me. I bought this dream car and I feel like when I step on it it’s not much louder than my truck when I’m on the inside. And even from the outside I’ve had my wife driving the vette beside me in my truck and it’s just not the sound you would expect for a v8 with a performance exhaust. Thats just my opinion. My friends GT 5litre with a factory Borla performance sounded so nice. I could tell it was his car from around the corner.
Here is a good comparison of 4 exhaust choices: Z51 performance exhaust vs GM accessories Borla exhaust vs Borla S Type exhaust vs. Borla ATAK Exhaust.
For me, the S Type seemed the right mix where is sounds incredible, but will not wake my neighbors.

I called MBRP yesterday and their system is on sale for $1,874.59 Canadian. They will sell direct to you from their Huntsville HQ and they do have a garage that does installs. Its separate from the HQ so I didn't call them for a price yet.
The GM Acc Borla is terrible!! It drones like no tomorrow! I agree the S type is the nicest sound.
$1000 for install? That’s crazy! Are they charging $300/hr?
The dealership quoted me $600 + tax for the install. I’ll let everyone know what the actual was next week.
I installed the AWE exhaust myself. There are great tutorials on line & it was not difficult . However, you need the right tools... which are less than 700-1000$ and a full day.
I'm lucky. The labor for me is free as my son is a mechanic and we have the tools and quickjack in the garage. Im still being cheap though and refusing to pay for Corsa, Borla, etc.
Or just install some American Race Headers for significant mid band power and deep sound…
