Default Just got my Borla on

After about an hour and a half and a couple of beers my dad and I got my borla system on. Man it sounds awsome. I had borla before on my z28 without LT's and now I have it on my WS6 with LT's and there is a world of difference especially the tone and loudness! the only problem I had was getting the tips to aline right through the opens in the bumper. the tips are still a little off for my like-ing but I wait another day to solve that problem considering I'm at school and my car is at home sleeping in my garage!

It sucks trying to get those tips to line up. It took me around 30-45 mins. to get them where I have them and they still don't look too good! You got any suggestions?

I think they look better when they don't stick out too far. Try to get them tucked under the bumper a little. I had to cut the pipes on the pass. side at the joint nearest the tip.

Shu' got an ORY, eh?..... Sound clips?? I wanna hear how it sounds before I ditch my cats for dual cutouts.

I didn't notice much of a differance when I installed my headers... -at idle-... but OMG! That MTRFKR was LOUD when I got on it over 2500 rpm! EXH projects allways seem to wrap up around mid-night. I think I woke the dead that night!..

Ehh... I still remember that night... THere was also beer involved..

NOT SLP's.... .... fittment wise and ground clearance wise... I didn't get the best HP bump w/ them, tho... I think all I really got was 37hp from an LS1 Edit..

LT's are LT's... for the most part. Go w/ coated and thicker material. Pacesetter, Flowtech, Hooker, Kooks have a GREAT rep....I'm prolly forgetting some.
