Default Somebody point me in the right direction

I'm finally cracking down and buying a new exhaust. Since most of you already have one I was wondering where the best(cheapest) place to buy one? I'm looking for BORLA and already found some on eBay for under $700

Will someone plz help a nub out? Thx

get pacesetters headers and true duals from local muffler shop. thats what i got. cheap and sounds good. if you still want single exhaust, the borla is good because because it already has a cut out built in. i had one on my LT1 car and loved it.

it really dpends on what you want to do later. and what you want out of it. flowmaster sound good, but flow bad. loudmouth sound good, flow good, but from what i hear sound bad w/ lt's and no cats. gmmg is a very popular. as taqwache said, a lot of people go with true duals. flow good and sound good. go to ls1sounds.com and see what you like soundwise, then do your research and see if it fits your application. try searching on it and you will probably get a million threads that will be helpful. good luck with whatever you get!

I too was looking into a new exhaust and can't decide what to go with. I was thinking of Borla but I don't know anyone who has a Borla setup and do not know what it sounds like. I was thinking on Hooker Headers and a Borla exhaust, but if you have any recommendations that would be great too.
