Default Which setup would you suggest?
A buddy of mine can not make up his mind on a exhaust setup for his fbody..

Hes got a 2000 WS6..

Hes looking at :

A) TSP 1 7/8 and duals dumped...( Told him thats the route to go)

B) Kooks 1 7/8, ory, and borla..


Wanna hear your guys opinions?

Both would sound great! I really think it depends on how loud he wants it to be all the time or if his car is lowered, possible ground clearance issues. I vote for the Borla with a cutout.

Option A...

Just installed the same thing on mine over the weekend and it sounds badass. It's too loud for a daily driver in my opinion but it's probably the best sounding exhaust I've heard on the f-bodys.

For the most power the duals will be the best bet but will be loud as hell. The borla will still sound badass but will be more tame.

I have the borla with full length headers no cats and ory. Love the sound with fully blocked restrictor plate. I am installing an electric cut out this winter to get the best of both worlds with the flip of a switch. I actually like the sound of duals better BUT duals are tough to get good ground clearance and find room for nice sounding mufflers. Dumped bullets are great for a race car but sound terrible for a street driven car.

If the car is a daily I vote for B if its not, I vote for A.
I have LT with borla exhaust and DMH e-cutout and love it. The setup can go from mild to wild in matters of seconds
