The Borla 60610 is an X-pipe with mid-pipes built for the sixth-generation Camaro SS and its 6.2L LT1 V8. It replaces the factory crossover section and is designed to mate with Borla's axle-back and cat-back components. It is the version that keeps the factory Active Fuel Management (AFM) exhaust valve hardware in place. Owners on user forums describe better flow, a deeper tone, and an end to the crushed pinch in the stock exhaust behind the secondary cats.
Stock exhaust is a one-piece layout with no connection point between the factory rear section and the X-pipe, so any upgrade means real work. Choosing the AFM-equipped 60610 over the non-AFM 60607 matters for automatic cars. Owners on user forums report that removing the AFM valves triggers a check engine light, and that the actuators must stay connected at startup. The 60610 therefore suits buyers who want a louder, freer-breathing 2016 Camaro SS 6.2L exhaust without sacrificing diagnostic compliance. Search terms this part targets include 2016 Camaro SS X-pipe with AFM valves, LT1 mid-pipe kit, and Borla Camaro cat-back build.
Yes. Part 60610 is the AFM-equipped version. Owners on user forums report that deleting the AFM valves causes a check engine light, so the valve actuators should remain connected.
No. The manufacturer states that the X-pipes with mid-pipes do not fit convertibles.
The manufacturer's axle-back listings direct buyers to add the X-pipe with mid-pipes to build a cat-back system. The 60610 is the AFM-compatible option, while the 60607 is the non-AFM option.
The manufacturer states that installation varies by engine and system type, and that all required hardware and instructions are included with the kit. Confirm the method for this specific part number against the Borla install sheet before starting. Owners on user forums note that the X-pipe does not bolt directly onto stock mufflers, so you will need to cut the factory exhaust and either clamp the pipe on after expanding the stock pipe or weld it in. Plan for a cutting tool, clamps, and a way to lift and support the car safely. Let the exhaust cool before working on it, and keep the AFM actuator connections intact to avoid a check engine light. If you are not comfortable cutting and fitting exhaust, user forums commonly recommend a muffler shop.
