Default borla exhaust question

i have a 2000 camaro ss with the borla cat back exhaust i was wanting to put the borla off road y pipe, wondering if will make louder, want car to be quite a bit louder than is now, car came with this exhaust already on it when i bought it. also is there any disadvantages to this that could hurt the motor after you get it tuned, i live in the dallas area so if you now a good tuner let me know, thanks for the help

just take the car to a local muffler shop and have then fab ya up a 3inch y, if you dont have one already on the car, a borla off road y would be a waste of cash, plus i dont even think they make a y.

i bet a shop can do it a whole lot cheaper. theyll set you up with something nice and loud. with borla you are just paying for the name, relaly.

btw, theres no need to make more than 1 thread about that. just add it all into 1. also, it should go in GEN III external :wink: just some helpful advice.

the baffle is in the pass. side pipe that by-passes the muffler. There is a flange with 3 bolts, take it apart and remove the baffle (if it has one ) then bolt the pipe back together. really simple.

Or just take the pipe off. That's what I did and I love the sound, although it gets a little annoying cruising at 80 in 6th gear. It looks weird with one tip but I'm gonna put the tips back on and hang'em somehow but without the small i-pipe that connects to the exhaust.
