Borla cat-back system

Does anyone out there have the above system on their vehicle & if so, how do you like it??
I have purchased one & it will be installed in a couple of weeks, I was just curious to have some feedback. Specifically in the sound department, I've been told Flowmaster gives off the best throat, & I was wondering how the Borla compares.

Nice Z. welcome aboard. as for sound, i have never heard the borla catback system in person, but assuming you go the one with the adjustable plate, the wide open plate will sounds pretty mean and loud, especilly if you have a modded engine.

do you have any mods?

by the way, how much was the borla here is canada. i am just curious. it is all stainless, is it not?

I can't remember for sure, but I thought IROCKER had a Borla... maybe it was just a cut-out welded on the back of a flow.

But yeah they sound pretty mean with the plate out... sound pretty ghey with the plate on.

BTW, that's a great looking car.... what kind of wheels are those? They look kind of like the ZR6 wheels... but that's some deep dish!

Ok I just watched those videos again... that's one of the best sounding exhausts I've ever heard I must say. For a close to stock motor at least

I wish I could afford a Borla system! I've got a Flowmaster with a custom made cut-out.

I have a Borla muffler on my car. It's attached to Flowmaster pipes. It sounds pretty good. Well, it did

The handle comes from alot of people saying I looked like that guy. and then I met a few guys from the board and they thought I looked and acted like him.. So the handle was born... if you look in my banner that is me under the hood giving the universal sign.
