Default Dumped borla

I kinda like how my BORLA adj catback sounds & I REALLY LIKE how nicely its tucked to the body, but I've never really liked the way exhaust tips look on camaros. (w/o some sort of valance)

So I'm finally gonna so somthing about my tips.

I've thought about doing this for a long time already...

I'll be taking off the passenger's side exhaust tailpipe where the adjustable plates can be switched (exhaust flange) & bolt on 1 of the new polished SS (stainless steel) exhaust dumped tips. (able to rotate 360*).

The driver's side tailpipe will require some fabrication.
- 1st, the tailpipe will have to be cut evenly to match the other side
- 2nd, a 3 hole 3" exhaust flange will have to be welded to "nub" coming out of the muffler so that it mirrors the other side
- 3rd, anther exhaust flange will have to be welded to the BORLA tailpipe
---this gives me the option of putting back on the stock BORLA tailpipe if I chose to
- 4th, bolt on the other polished SS exhaust dumped tip



The required parts should be shipped out today.

MODIFIED:



STOCK:

I think it will look great! I don't like tips on camaros either, they look too out of place.

Let us know once you get it done. Pics and vids are a must!!

I think it will sound like crap. Our mufflers are so far back as it is we need the extra piping to smooth the tone out. That is why Mustangs can usually sound better than us (CME's help alot though)...

At least just remove the pipe/tips BEFORE you spend the money on the new tips and labor and see if you like the sound. It is basically going to sound like a truck...

that's why the new camaros and mustangs don't sound as good b/c the muffler are at the very end of the exhaust system.

Im gonna agree with 6le, its gonna sound like a truck. Youre gonna want to put some kind of tips on it. Get the CME exhaust from him, I have one and it looks SMOOTH.

Well if it does end up sounding like a truck then I'll be able to just bolt on the tailpipes back on...
