Default Stock exhaust with cam?

Right now I have LT/ORY/Borla, and its way too loud. Can I get a stock exhaust with an E-cutout, or will this make the car run worse?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Why would you want to run the stock exhaust. Get a catted y pipe that will help you clean up the sound.

Is the borla the adjustable one? Maybe it is fully open so the muffler is doing nothing.

ORY and Bolra is notorious for having major amounts of Drone/Rasp. I almost did it, but decided to dive into the true duals world. Best sounding exhaust setup you can do for these cars imo. Cars wood make it easier on the ears inside for sure. I had the adjustable setting one..and always ran it wide open, and had factory cats, still sounded mean.

Find an SLP Dual/Dual muffler and swap it in.....quiet, great tone, and awsome flow.

Whatever you do, don't go back to your stock exhaust. Get something like the SLP dual/dual or magnaflow. Hooker also sounds really good. Go to ls1sounds and see what you like.

You must have the open plate instaled. Even though I'm running mids and cats. My Borla is TOO quiet and I usualy run with the E cutout in the right tail pipe partially open to improve the sound.

I think most of you are misinformed on how the stock muffler flows. (better than flowmaster) Thought about goin back to a full 3in w/ stock muffler and E-cutout myself. Im on a true dual dumped bullet setup now

Flowmasters suck at flow.. I think upper management was on the happy smoke when they came up with such a claim. hehe.. T/D's are a nice touch, flows like a cutout, and you can't beat the sound from your pipes
