Default New Borla Catback

Hey I just wanted to share that I just bolted on a Borla catback to my 98 trans am and it sounds amazing. I am so picky about the sound of my car and researched extensively all different exhaust systems. My car is completely stock, but man the sound is amazing. If any you guys out there were thinking Borla, I definitely recommend it!

Cheers brothers!

I love Borla. Had them on my Vette and they sounded awesome. I just wish they had different options for tips for f bodys.

The last car I had borla on I changed the tips as I didnt like the square look either. It sounded sick on my cobra.

However, on an f-body, the best exhaust I have ever heard to this date was the true dual bassani system i had retro fitted onto my 92 LS1 camaro. Absolutely amazing sound

I have the square tips. I have the adjustable system. I really like the square tip look. I guess its just preference.

On a T/A the square tips are fine. They just look kind of weird on a camaro imo.

I just picked up an adjustable system this week with Corsa clones and an eletric cut-out in place of the adjustable plates. I had never heard a borla before then and love it too, congrats on the purchase

FWIW, the 1st version of borla's 4th gen f-body kit fit better on t/a's than the current version. i would almost swear they were a little louder too, but i can't make a totally objective statement there cause its comparing lt1 cars to ls1 cars.

My buddy has the Borla catback with the 3" square tips on his WS6, car is all stock other than that, sounds great. When just cruising around and on start up, it has a much more crisp and aggressive sound to it when compared to my car with the Magnaflow. But in the higher revs, mines seems like it drowns his out though. I do like it, but definitely don't know if I would pay the money that they want for them.
