Default ditching the borla???
I've been tossing up the idea of getting rid of my borla cat back set up and going with something new.

I just don’t know what I want to go with.. I want to get rid of the tips in the back. True duals would be ok I just don't know what muffler to run, or just keep the Y pipe and run a single muffler off it. (Like a bullet or something)

I don't want something crazy lous either this is my DD I just want good sound that compliments my MS4 and that screams at WOT.

As far as Catbacks go I believe Borla is one of the best. I myself don't like the Borla exhaust tips at all, I'd say just get different tips.

Borla tips look good on a T/A if you can get them to sit just right. Tips period, junk the back of a camaro. I personally hate running tips. I only put them on for inspection time. Dump that next exhaust. Whatever it may end up being.

Do you have the adjustable Borla? If so, I'd keep it. That's what I used to have and I miss that exhaust.
