Default Loudmouth vs. Used Borla

What's the better option? The Borla is adjustable and in good shape. It's being offered to me for $400. My biggest concern is sound. Which sounds more like a muscle car? Help me out...

Id go with the borla b/c you can adjust it and id assume without the plates it would sound pretty similar to LM or you could always get a cutout latter on

I just bought a used borla with a cutout on here for 450 and am very pleased. Your saving yourself more than 300 dollars over a new one with the deal you have going. I hear most people hate their LM"s after a while.

I have a 02 Z28 Loud Mouth 1 with Jet hot long tubs no cats it cranks up like a 12 gauge shot gun sounds very nice at idle, but when bursting thru gears it sounds like a Harley Davidson pain in the butt.

Go BORLA. I have learnd 1 thing from these types of post. And that is if some 1 is Debating on going with the LOUD mouth. Over another catback. But not sure how loud it is and such. Then guess what.. More then likly. 90% chance is that you wont like it later down the road.

Get the Borla, if you don't like it you can always sell it for more than you bought it for and get something else.
