Its just like everything else. Its the name but also about the craftsmanship and R&D they put into the product.
Its no different than someone going out and buying a Ferrari. We all know you can spend a quarter of the price to get the same performance out of a domestic car but in the end you still don't have a Ferrari.

Name has a ton to do with it, but they ARE nice.

I personally am a Borla ****. I've had Borla on my Vette, my Z28, the wifes WS6 and I even gave one to my dad for his WS6.

Name, just like B&B and GMMG. They all sound like gurgly boat motors to me - the exhaust equivalent of a guy with phlegm in his throat who won't stop talking to clear it. That said, a lot of people love that sound (an anecdotal observation, it seems like a lot of those people are the ones who think catbacks on these cars are loud).

There's not a whole lot of R&D to making a single-pipe system fit and flow on f-bodies. I just wish someone could make a decent out-of-the-box duals setup.

i had a corsa catback, it was WAY too loud and one of the internal baffles came loose and it sounded like a bunch of marbles in a tin can. over priced garbage. +1 for my $300 hooker cat back lol I also live in florida by the beach and I've had the Hooker on the car for 3 years now with not one spec of rust anywhere on the exhaust
