Borla????

The time has come for a new exhaust, before i spend the cash on it has anyone heard it on a thirdgen? i heard it on an ls1 but it dosent compare becouse of the difference in firing order. any opinions out there? im looking to be different then getting flowmaster, or the hooker. btw it will be on a 327 with 11-1 comp

That is my exhaust that I am getting right now.. Will sound better than the borla and its gonna cost me about the same.. Mind you its a pretty insane exhaust so unless you have a fairly powerfull engine you might now want to do it.

Myself I think the Borla cat-back sounds BadA$$, I've heard it on a 1992 Camaro RS w/ 305 TBI.

I have a borla. It is alright the fitment of the kit leaves something to be desired. one major drawback to the borla is that you cut your old exaust and clamp to it. so you really need a pice of pipe with the flange for your cat and they don't include it in the kit. it comes in so many pieces that you really need to weld it up. the slp systme is a way better kit but it is driver side exit and I like dual. magnaflow offers a system. if you go to thier website it doesn't show it but they offer one for thirdgens. I am looking into it. sound wise the borla is nice I still prefer flowmaster a bit in the sound departent. but they don't offer stainless.

If u want better flow, go with Borla. If u want better sound, go with Flowmaster.

If you want best sound and performance then get Borla. If you want to be loud get flowmaster. Borla is also stainless.

The stainless exhaust will last for a long time. If you have the money for the borla setup go for it

I think I would go with the random tech. if you want a borla real bad buy mine cause I think I am switching. It is a full kit dual exit. they sent me a pick and looked real nice. if you like opening up your exhaust the borla is cool. 5min and you have open or what size opening you choose but I don't hardly ever use it like I thought I would. it has dual round tips on each side the random is single 3 inch on each side. I guess it boils down to what you prefer a bit.
