Default borla CB, kooks headers/ory sound clips???

Ok, i searched and all I could find is a sound clip of kooks with catted y and borla catback. It sounded pretty raspy and I was wondering if anyone has it without the cats?? Couldnt imagine it getting any more raspy.

I don't have a clip, but have heard it in person, and oh man. Talk about rasp. I almost couldn't believe my ears.

I wish I could describe it...when I rode in his car, the whole thing shook, and it was stock cammed. The resonance was just too much for a daily driver in my opinion, and got to the point where it was too much for his situation where it was a weekend only car. Cats would have been a welcomed addition, but with an open plate, that still would have sounded bad.

I have LT's, catted y, and borla with no plate in it and I don't think it sounds bad at all. I actually really like it, I guess its just a matter of opinion.

And that's exactly it when it comes to exhaust...your setup would be a little too much for me. It is so subjective. Granted, I'm getting true duals done with Magnaflow bullets and no cats, so I might not have any room to talk in the near future

I wish I would have had the chance to hear more exhausts before choosing some of the ones I've had, but I've kinda had to learn the hard way by spending $$$.

Yeah, I have Borla clips with several different combinations of headers and manifolds.

do you have any of a un-cammed car with kooks, ory and borla? This kinda sucks now as I have kooks headers and ory in the mail, and borla on the car. Crap

Check out this page for all of the clips: http://www.ls1sounds.com/borla.htm

The closest thing I have is QTP headers and ORY: http://www.ls1sounds.com/Borla/borla..._pull-away.MPG

Any LT header + ORY clip on that page will give you a good idea of what to expect though, they don't have to be Kooks.

Just do what I did..... Add a Borla XR-1 part # 40085 to the I-pipe to do away with the rasp. The above muffler is about $110 and your car's driveshaft tunnel might have to be persuaded a bit with a hammer to allow for some extra clearance. Well worth it IMO. sorry I don't have any pics or sound clips

how much of the rasp went away in your opinion? Would it be possible to get pics of the ground clearance or could you measure in the lowest spot. THANKS

Zero Rasp left. Ground clearance is not a problem, but to get the Borla to fit in place the tunnel had to be hammered in a bit similar to hump on the front passenger side, but not as much. Any shop with a rubber mallet should be able to do this without a problem. My local muffler shop welded the XR-1 onto the Pacesetter ORY and cut about 15 inches from the I-pipe of the Borla catback. The muffler measures 15 inches in length, 5 inches wide, and the inlet and outlet measure 3 inches.
