Tsp Rumbler or Borla?
BORLA = over priced.. ugly tips.. OK sounding.. but at least its stainless.. BUT NOT worth the money at all.. you're paying for the name..
if you want stainless.. go magnaflow for half the cost.. or if you want the most flow for the cheapest... go for TSP rumbler...

They're two different styles of sound, and in two way different price leagues.
Rumbler = cheaper and more raw/muscle car sounding
Borla = hella more expensive, more refined sound unless you open it up

I like the Borla because it's adjustable. I love the tips. They don't stand out form all angles like Corsa or B&B (they look nice too IMHO). Magnaflow or a LM would definately offer better value however I bought a Borla (twice) for my cars because of the adjustability and fitment. The sound with no plate (or an open cut-out) with LTs is a little raspy but very livable and with the cut-out closed sounds pretty sedate. Almost no rasp, nearly no drone (less than with manifolds!) and good power. I think I read an article where an nitrous F-Body lost only 8 HP at the wheels with the cutout closed. I have no complaints.

see the whole reason between the two catbacks is because next month GM is having a shootout in Englishtown and the requirments says thhat you must have a full mufflered exhaust system no bullets and the muffler has to have 2 or 3 baffles. I have a TSP Rumbler cb on my car now and I want to race in the event and I'm not looking into a Magnaflow because a friend of mine just pick one up for his TA and I don't want to look like a dickeater and get the same catback. So the only other one I can decide on is borla but I forgot all about Hooker,How about a Hooker CB would that be a good choice?

i have seen a car gain 20rwhp from catback to true duals.. NO BS!
i had a magnaflow catback.. and switched over to TSP duals, and will never look back! sounds bad ***! no rasp! and screams at WOT.
DUALS FTMW!!!!
I was going to buy an adjustable borla from a guy on here. Long *** story short, I got lost on my way to pick it up. A couple of weeks later I did headers and Rumbler, kinda glad I never made it to that guys house now. Everything seems to happen for a reason, and now I have the best sounding LS1 I know.

i think borla has some of the worst tips out! i would rather have a ricer fart can sticking out the back of my car! Well not a fart can but anything else! Stick with the TSP
what gives the TSP rumbler the sound? Doesn't it have the Dynomax bulletstyle muffler on it? Is it the tips that give it that sound? I'm asking because I want that sound without sacrificing my CME. Sorry for the hijack. I vote TSP.
