IMO, take the 80 series off, and put in a spintech muffler.
Here's the pt# Sportsman SplitCase 344SC 3" inlet 3" dual outlet.

Same thing here, bought a '99 T/A that came with the flowmaster cat back, not half bad sounding, especially since its a basically stock car and I don't need it sounding like its a hotrod from hell, but I doubt it really does much. Tips aren't bad looking either, though I'm also looking to upgrade.

I agree. I had a LM1 on my old 2000 Z28 and it sounded good until I did H/C. Then I did a DynoMouth and eventually a BorlaMouth when I went with the 382 stroker.

From what the guy who sold me my T/A said, my T/A has a FMCB. I have received many compliments on the sound so I think I'm going to keep it, however, when I have the 415 installed with the Pacesetter LTH & ORY, I am also going to have dual cut outs installed so that should take care of any performance robbing issues the CB is known for. And yes.... I know I need to have the Pacesetter replaced ASAP

Not sure if any of the exhausts I've heard were Borla, but like I said, I;ve gotten many complimented on mine and that includes here and with a shitty Vid at that
