Default what do you like better? borla vs cme!
I have borla on my car now and really like the way it sounds, but I like the way the cme looks, Im afraid of going with the cme and not being happy with the sound, I wouldnt trade sound for looks, so if any of you guys have gone from borla to cme let me know how you like the sound....maybe that will help decide if I should change it or leave it.....thanks guys!

Definitely do the CME. I can't stand the way the Borla looks. All it is, is an expensive cutout.

If you're really worried about the sound, get the CME and a cutout. Win-win!

agreed CME is the best! looks great..sounds great..and you can still get a cutout installed so you can open it up and wake the neighborhood

I have TSP true duals piped out to the back under the axle into CME tips from 6LE...the sound is amazing. I get compliments all the time, more than when I had dumps.

why not sell the borla tips (they bring some money) and buy some CME tips and a valence, take it to an exhaust shop and make a CME out of a borla catback? voila...the look and the sound

yea just keep ur borla hack off the tips and have a CME tip fabbed up by a shop and put the valence on..best of both worlds..nice sound for the street and open up the cut out on the borla system when you want it loud...CME looks perfect on camaros it adds a great touch to the rear end of the car...you wont be dissapointed...good luck with ur decision
