Click here to watch LS1-ORY-LT-Borla
I just made that today, it was originally a video but I didn't feel like editing it tonight =D
camera was about 10 feet away.. as you can tell it's pretty loud

I love the sound. I have cats' and the rasp is still there a bit, but that goes bye-bye ( for the most part ) when I close the QTEC. I can' t wait to get a cam or a power-adder. I definately has a deeper tone, just puttin' around and will scare children and old people when WOT. The only change I would make is a bigger I-pipe, and I would be happy with my exhaust setup.
Do yourself a favor and get a QTEC and you will be a happy camper

you better run cats unless you like your exhaust to sound like an old man vomiting. LT's + ORY + borla = worst tone/rasp imaginable. it's good for ricers who are into V8's. its tone sucks and is just obnoxiously loud. all you'll need is neon, strobes and a type-R sticker to complete the borla + ORY package.
ok so maybe i'm being a little harsh
but it is ridiculously raspy. that and i don't like the borla tone, but it's just my opinion. some people like loud and raspy. that combo would never find its way on my car.

I have a 2000 ws-6 with headers, borla and a catted Y and love it. They have been on for almost 2 years. I have gotten nothing but great feedback. I have an electric plate also (not a qtec, but does the same thing), so I can adjust it however I want on the fly. I would recommend this set-up to anyone. Most important, I strongly suggest the cut out. To be able to fine tune the sound from wild to mild in 3-5 seconds is one of the best moves I made. Everyone has their own opinion, maybe different headers didn't agree with the borla as some others (I have kooks). I love mine....

Just put Jet Hot LTs and ORY on this weekend. And my borla is wide open. I love it so far, but it's only been 2 days of fun. I myself like the motorboat sound at idle, and really like the WOT sound through it, but you'll have to decide for yourself i guess.
