Exhaust need help ASAP

[EvolutionOX]

The more expensive ones on the site include the ecu program which the guy says requires the stage clutch upgrade, his words not mine.....

Ah cool! Thanks for that! I got the other one and it does come with a recalibration for the ECU (tune for more power with the new exhaust obviously). But I also got a buddy in the parts dept. at my dealer who said the same thing about requiring the beefed up clutch, only though if your sonic was manufactured before Feb. 2014 I believe, don't quote me on it.

What I was trying to figure out was the difference between the 2 exhausts, and by the looks of your pics and video it looks like they are both Borla. The one I got though is branded differently. It has the Chevy "bowtie Performance" stamped onto the resonator and muffler. Other than that the construction looks pretty much the same like yours except I have dual tips out the muffler with little "Chevy bowties" stamped on the ends. I also thought these were stainless steel from Borla and all, and since GM used stainless for the stock exhaust system from what I've read.

Also I thought Borla discontinued the 1.4L turbo exhaust kit like summer of 2014? I really hope not that'd be stupid with how many Sonics are still being purchased and current owners who want future upgrades.

borla stopped making it as its not on their site anymore. There was some fire sale awhile back and we could have got them cheap..

I know I am about to sound really Newbish and dumb, but I know that Chevy offers a factory "Upgraded Exhaust". Is it worth purchasing? I want an exhaust system that wont void my warranty. I have heard mix information about exhaust. Can some one explain to me what exhaust I can run on my Sonic that will not void my warranty?

Thanks in advance.

No exhaust will affect your warranty. Your stock exhaust will no longer be covered, but it won't affect anything else

....if it has tits or tires it can be upgraded

I got the ZZP catback exhaust with high flow secondary cat and muffler. Installing it Sunday if you're interesting in the before and afters.

Here's the link to the site:

ZZP 1.4L Sonic Stainless Catback Exhaust - Exhaust

Going with carsNskis on this, the exhaust won't void your warranty as long as it doesn't break other parts in your car that is covered. Most dealerships will look the other way with custom exhausts.

Got the car back today, loving the zzp exhaust so far!

Thanks you are just a help everywhere

I had a feeling that was the case. I was told at the chevy dealer that I purchased the car that there were a few specific exhausts that wouldnt hinder the factory exhaust warranty. I then saw on chevys site that there is a Borla and a "Chevy turbo stage kit" with a high flow exhause. Both listed as will not effect warranty.
