So glad I read your review on your Fabspeed sport cats. I was convinced that come next season, I was going to do a catback setup from the likes of Borla, Corsa or Fabspeed. Borla has such a rich history in doing exhausts, I had one on my Nissan 300Z back in the days, and the Ferarri guys in the club also had on theirs. Their R&D is top notch. And of course Fabspeed is king for the exotics, so you know that experience will trickle down into the C8 product offering.

I never was a guy who liked to change other exhaust parts like cats and headers, just never really saw the benefit to doing so unless you are chasing the numbers on the track. However, coming back from a huge indoor car show (which my C8 was a part of), and another C8 owner met up with me to let me see and hear all of his mods, including his sport cats (Soul Performance) and headers. He still had the NPP back end, and said he did not want to change it because the sport cats gave just enough bark and bite without going too far to annoy the wife, as she did not like it when the exhaust was too loud (think obnoxious levels).

I fell in love with the sound, and loved the idea of just swapping out the cats without tossing away the NPP and chancing future trouble with the valves throwing codes and so on. I am really sold on the idea of going Fabspeed, but it is pricey. Your review just gave me more incentive to spend that extra coin at some point next year
