I want to add a few horsepower and a little exhaust note to my LTZ before I tune in. I've watched enough youtube "Sonic exhaust" videos to burn holes in my retina's. I'm looking for subtle; NOT loud/obnoxious/ricer. I have no after-market exhaust experience so I'm looking for opinions.
From all I've been reading, aftermarket choices I have are:
ZZPerformance Turbo back system: $749.
ZZPerformance O2 Housing/Midpipe package for Cruze 1.4L: $475
Borla Catback: $650
DDM Works: Catback exhaust with muffler and w/o resonator: $624
MPFab: Anaconda 3-inch Down/Mid/Catalyst pipe combo: $599
BNR: Chevrolet Sonic 1.4T Magnaflow Catback Exhaust: $750
I've been reading that aftermarket catbacks won't have any positive HP gains as the Sonic's stock setup isn't really restrictive. Are most of the gains from the turbo to the cat?
My objective would be to add the HP (in conjuction with a tune) without all the ricey rasp. Just a nice endnote out of the exhaust tip. Would love to hear all the above applications in person. Any suggesions/opinions are appreciated.
