I haven't seen or heard anything about the exhaust on the ZR2 except that the tailpipes are hidden. I finally seen a video where the muffler is visible and it plainly shows Borla on the case of it. Can anyone who has their ZR2 confirm that the production trucks already come with a Borla muffler from the factory and therefore are probably comparable to the performance optioned system available on the Trail Boss?

I emailed Borla to see if they had a system for the ZR2 yet and their reply was,
We currently have a system in development for the new ZR2’s and have it scheduled for a late spring release. Please check back in with us towards the end of May, as we should have it updated by then.

Had the huge factory muffler with flapper removed and installed a new 3” inlet/outlet Flowmaster FX in mine yesterday. Sounds absolutely perfect. Growls like a Vette when you’re on the gas, but hardly noticeable at cruising speeds. Added a K&N Cold Air Intake as well. Made a considerable difference in sound and performance.
I contacted AWE yesterday about an exhaust and they said they are currently planning one for the ZR2 and that it will be a little while before one is released from them. But I am definitely going to get one once available!
Why not the Borla system?
Nothing against AWE. A lot of Audi guys love AWE stuff but the Borla system sounds great.
Watch the referenced video. Lonestar Hawaiian on YT put one in his TBoss.

I also reached out to AWE.
Representative told me he’ll have more info in a couple months.
He said by summertime they should have one ready.
He said they had a ton of inquiries for the Zr2.
