It will fit... You just need to make the mounting brackets, which isn't that big of a deal... GO FOR IT!

I would just make some. I did find some on craigslist for like $50 in Sacramento, Ca... I would just drill some holes in a plate. Would work the same...

A High-Flow cat will be a little louder, due to it flowing better.

To put a LS1 cat-back on a 3rd gen, you hafta address the hangers, like already mentioned, and redo the where the intermediate pipe connect to the cat, since the LS1 cars are essentially set up like a true dual system, until the intermediate pipe.

I have a LS1 cat back on my GTA & they aren't THAT big of a deal to put on. Just requires some welding & re-piping.

Just put an electric cutout there. I have a LS1 Borla catback on my car. If you really want the plates, I'd contact Borla.

Re: will borla out of ls1 4th gen fit my gta

has anyone put one on a N10 car with the dual cats? i work on my friends 02 SS all the time and he has the Borla on his. everytime i'm under his car it looks like his y-pipe ends in the same spot as my flowmaster y pipe. i have put the firehawk exhaust on my other friends 88 GTA so i know all about the hangers and intermediate pipe. i was just wondering if anyone knew if that would work on the N10 setup. i don't really want to cut up a system that cost that much.
