Yeah we were going to add it yesterday but didn't get around to it. This thread reminded me to add it

I added you to the top of the list. You guys got me my wonderful tune for my RS :banana:

 

[Macehammer]

I feel the RS package could have had a more aggressive exhaust tone, after all it is an appearance package and I feel exhaust sound is more about your appearance than the performance benefits of one.

Sound might be appearance if you have been taking LSD...

no the dealership didn't say it would void my warranty, actually on borla's webpage it has an actual law and code saying that no dealership can void their warranty lol. I did it so I wouldn't have to deal with any **** they give me though. and plus it was thrown into my total on the car to pay off anyway.

BORLA Cat-Back SONIC RS 2013

I got the BORLA SONIC RS 2013 Cat-Back installed at my dealer for $765 + tax

 

[Sonic_RS_13]

Found the exhaust for 636.00 @ ShopChevyParts com - Your Wholesale Source for GM Parts Direct to your Door - Factory Original Parts. Here is the link: 2013 Sonic Performance Exhaust Upgrade Package RS Hatchback - 19300529 - Performance - Sonic - 2013

That's 636 + 22 for shipping totaling 658, BNR has it for 650 shipped. Can't beat saving 8 bucks and supporting a great site vender.

Actually it is 740 for the RS. 2013+ Chevrolet Sonic RS Borla Catback Exhaust

 

[rdss]

Thanks, didn't catch the RS specific exhaust, that is a steal then.

 

[Sonic_RS_13]

Is the Borla exhaust worth the money or is it best to get the ZZP? I am get the Trifecta performance tune so I dont know which to go for. Any advice?

P.S. I like the Borla for some reason!

 

[rdss]

You can get a ZZP cat back and the full tune for not much more than the Borla, a little less if you hold out for another Trifecta sale.

 

[Sonic_RS_13]

Now if I go with the ZZP exhaust with options do I go with? Also as far as intake goes DDM or ZZP better? Just seems like there are so many options! So far I was thinking of getting the Stage 1 kit from BNR and the ZZP exhaust. Please feel free to tell me why you decided to go with a certain product.

 

[Foxbox]

Get the ZZP exhaust. It's a high quality piece and they're a company that heavily supports our Sonic community.

I have nothing against Borla, Magnaflow or whoever else that make exhaust systems. I just believe in supporting the businesses that are there supporting our community (ZZP/DDM) with multiple aftermarket parts. It makes it especially easy when the products these companies are producing are top notch and priced amazingly.

If you get the ZZP exhaust and have the 1.4t I would select it with no muffler or resonator. If you plan on removing the factory downpipe I would get the exhaust to include the muffler.

Intake selection is personal preference. I prefer the ZZP.

 

[Sonic_RS_13]

I can get the Borla exhaust installed for 650 and still have the warranty. Is it worth it? Because I was just going with the ZZP exhaust and forget about the warranty. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Forget about the warranty for....?

Borla warranties their on exhausts as well as ZZP. Pick your poison and if you want and have the extra cash to drop on the Borla go for it.

 

[Sonic_RS_13]

Well the warranty will be with someone else not the dealer was what I was trying to say. I am going with the Borla exhaust unless someone says that the ZZP will get alot more HP. This is with the Trifecta performance tune and either DDM/ZZP. Haven't made up my mind yet. The poll on the intakes really has me sold on the DDM. Just because of the fact I can get it in red.

Does anyone know a good garage surrounding the OKC area?

 

[Foxbox]

The ZZP system will last just as long as the Borla will so the warranty part is a non-issue.

If you feel the need to waste excess money on the Borla go right ahead.

 

[Sonic_RS_13]

So Foxbox both systems are the same except the price? I just want to know if anyone know the performance difference between the two.

 

[Foxbox]

I feel they are equal if not a slight edge to the ZZP in quality.

I made 162whp/216wtq on a Mustang dyno with the Trifecta tune paired with ZZP's intake and exhaust system.

I've even made multiple 14 second quarter mile passes in my car.

I don't have a Borla system so I can't speak for the performance difference with that. I would say (using common sense) that performance is more than likely equal between both exhausts.

That's why I don't understand the logic in purchasing a system that's almost double the cost.
