I didn't know you could use Borla and cheap in the same sentence. Check some of the sponsors or if you are really looking for a deal check out the For Sale section of the forum.

I think the Borla and Corsa have a more refined sound than the LM, the LM is just straight up nasty...thats why I love mine so much.

LM is good but you add some long tubes in front of that and it is just too damn loud.

Too loud...whats that mean. I think I will love the nasty/raspy sound of a LM with LT's. It's kind of evil sounding.

It sounds alright as long as you don't floor it. When you do...ugh. I hated it and changed it out pretty quickly.

This is my opinion(so dont yell at me, please)
1.Borla and LM sound about the same,LM is louder but is higher pitched/more rasp when at the high RPMs
3.GMMG and true duals should definately be considered with LM and Borla
2.Corsa muffles and fuggs up the sound quality too much, it sounds like you have an exhaust leak and 2 fewer cylinders (Borla sounds the same when the full plate is in)

By the way, isn't the word Borla Swedish for expensive or something? I got mine brand new at a "steal" of $600 brand new, Took me a while to choose between Borla and GMMG. Most get LM because it is only about $300 new, lighter, and rasp can be cut down with bullet mufflers if it becomes a problem.

If you wnat the very best,get a GMMG. The best for an LS1. If you have a $30K car,why don't you want the very best. Just like Hallmark,"If you want the very best send Hallmark".
