Feedback needed on the Borla straight pipe catback What do you guys think of that exhaust? It is cheap and should save considerable weight over stock.
Will this setup be deafening with stock manifolds, H-pipe and cats in place?
Any resonance or other irritations?

I haven't heard these before, but my C4 had straight pipes and the resonance at 1500 is just plain annoying.
Go on the corvetteforum.com and get yourself some used borla stingers....they are always going up for sale.
Also, I would look at the Ti exhaust form the Z06. Lightweight and better flow....

The two cars that I know of that have them are dedicated track cars. One has the cats and the other does not. Both are loud and sound good going around the track. A few others have the Corsa TI race exhaust. They are a little higher pitched and more exotic sounding.

I have straight pipes and factory manifolds/cats and the car is decently quiet at idle, louder at partial throttle, but straight up screams at WOT.
I can't understand why someone would want to spend $600-1000+ on a catback from a strictly performance-orientated aspect.
