I'd say yes, its stainless very high quality build and definitely a great sounding system oh and fyi for when i post the clip I'm not running a cat either.

that file wont play directly you have to save it to your computer open it then play the file inside.
for windows xp
right click on the link
select "save target as"
choose your desktop
after it saves the file on the desktop
go to the desktop if you double click on it, windows xp should be able to open it it should open similar to a regular window and show a media file inside.
let me know how you do.
(these instructions are assuming you are using win xp and internet explorer)
considering i'm not computer illiterate... The way you suggested would be the way I attempted to open the ile the first time. I dont think that you zipped the file correctly. Try posting it on you tube or another site like it and copy the link. It would be the easier way...
slow your roll my man i never suggested you were illiterate in any form or manor. i'm going to ask a moderator to post it in the sound clips section seeing as i've dl twice on two diff computers (with no prob) and apperantly one of the mods had no problem. don't take offense i don't know you like that and only provided a walk through in case.
Ok I am a true newbe. I just picked up my 1991 Z28 5.0 last Friday (had a 1990 RS new before it was taken by some a..) and have already ordered over $2000 worth of stuff (please don not tell the wife )
So I just ordered my Cat back Borla Exhaust, I am still running my Cat and can not change the headers just yet...
Is this going to take away from the quality of the exhaust?
BTW: I ordered the system from amazon.com they actually had the cheapest price I could find.. They display the wrong picture but I called and confirmed it is the correct part Borla 14888 Cat Back System $790 Free shipping..
wow are those borlas expensive.... i never was crazy about the sound either but i guess its adjustable so thats a plus.
no headers will cut off some of the sound but it should still sound ok without them. what i'd do if you want abit more tone is gut the stock cat converter or get a highflow unit. that will greatly improve the tone and sound levels
your borla kit should have come with plates that you can put in the passenger side tail pipe right after the pipe comes over the axle and splits into the muffler. I believe there are three different plates, each have a different size hole through the middle. the bigger the hole the louder it is.

I just picked up a 4th gen borla catback for cheap and got it hung today (not plumbed yet so I'm not sure how it's going to sound). I'm not big on polished stuff and I was a bit worried about the tips at first, but I think they came out subdued enough.. it's growing on me anyway. It seems like a good system if you can find one second-hand.. I certainly couldn't have afforded it new. Overall the 4th gen kit was a slight pain to retrofit, but all that needed to be done from a fabrication standpoint was to make a few hangers.
I have a 305 TPI stock everything. I want a nice deep sound for normal driving but when I step on it, I want it to really make some noise... any ideas on what would be best?

Hey guys, seeing as though this is a thread to help people find cat back clips, I just thought I'd post the link to a vid of my 91' Firebird 305 tbi with the 3" Edelbrock SDT cat back. Everything is completely stock except for the cat back.
Yes. I have.
It sounded like a pickup truck with glasspacks. Raspy as hell in the mid rpm range as you can hear at the end of the vid. That snapping/clapping sound has to be the gayest sound ever.
The tailpipes don't line up right. You have to re-bend the pass side tail if you want them to be evenly spaced.
I hate my flowmater american thunder what a waste of time and money. The fit is sub par at best. I just finished my ground up restore and had nothing but problem. They hit the driveshaft balance, burned a hole it a new e brake cable, hits in four spots on the fresh paint under the car and to top it all off every time the trans shift it bang the pan hard.

Oh by the way, if I did make myself clear they are junk. Great post thank you for the time you invested it will save me time looking for the flowmaster replacement!
was the sound a piece of crap too? have you replaced the flowmaster with something better? let me know, pls. i wanna know which brand to get for my 91 RS and i'm so undecided.
ive been hearing people talking bad about edelbrock catback and thought id drop in with a vid of my edelbrock SDT 3" setup. yes, it is a worn out 305......

I'm in the market for a cat back on my 82 Z. Actually I'm going to revamp the entire exhaust system, the 2 1/2 isnt big enough I'm getting too much back pressure and I want to go with a 1 3/4 primary LT header with a 3" collector but I gotta find a Y pipe and test pipe, right now I'm running no muffler, n cat just the original 2 1/2 that came on the car (had the 2 mufflers with cross pipe that were rotted out cant argue with a free fix). Ilove the deep tone of my straight pipe but it get that annooying crackily sound at high RPM. The car has a 385 stroker, healthy cam and an 800DP carb any idea's, suggestions?
I heard lots of good reports of magnaflow so i think i might go with these! I just want an opinion or two before i buy. ( i haven't seen any vids on 305 tbi camaros with magnaflow exhaust thats why i hesitated to buy..)
355 11.25:1 mid 240's duration cam and near 600 lift.. Random Tech cat back with Hooker 2460 headers and my own 3" y-pipe, no cat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tCdtmpkVH4
Iam surprised that Pypes was left out. I had the edelbrock system on my 305. Very disappointing, none the less. So I decided to get a pypes violator muffler put in place of the edelbrock one. Boy did it make a difference. They make catbacks mostly for mustangs, but they also make a few for camaros. Its sounds really good, super loud too.
Iv had the edelbrock catback W/ the RPM muffler on my camaro. with
the Lingenfelter 383. gess a few Guys dont Like it.. i always did.
at WOT it sounded like a prostock car. and on mine it was running 11:70
and 12:00's with street tires.. but then thats a car with a bit more power then most..
