Default borla or triflow?

hey everyone, i have an 02 ss that is pretty much stock, but i have a bunch of parts that are fixin to go on and i need y'alls opinions. i have a set of hooker long tube ceramic coated headers and the y pipe. i am trying to decide which exhaust i want to put on it, and i have narrowed it down to either the borla adjustable or the b&b triflow. any opinions? anyone ever heard an ls1 with hooker ceramic lt's and ory with either one of these exhausts? i had the borla on my 99 SS, but it was just the catback, nothing else. oh, i also have a cam that is gonna be getting installed soon...

i have a borla catback and i love it, if youve ever seen how its setup its almost like a cutout, the pipe on the passenger side doesnt go through the muffler and most of the exhaust makes it out on that side. plus i love the sound of it and if you ever want to make it quiter you can put the plates back on it and have it run through the muffler.

yea the only thing is that it kind of sounds louder on that side. obviously you don't notice that from inside the car tho. i have always been a huge fan of borla.

If you go with the borla and headers you can expect a machine gun sound from 2-2.5k I hear you can fix it by puting a borla x1 in the I pipe or going with catted headers an other option is having a Y pipe with a good merge

I don't know how either sounds, but I've always liked the B&B, I think the tips are some of the best out there.

yea, it seems to me that b&b has a very loyal following, an amazing product, and has somehow managed to fly under the radar

I'm not sure but this is what a good merge should look like

X 2 i have the B&B with hooker LTs and y pipe and it sounds ****** incredible!!
Borla is good, but the tips are god-awful ugly and i don't think it sounds as good as B&B

My old Borla adjustable was my favorite exhaust. I personally liked the tips too, they looked badass.

I have a B&B. Check out my fquick page to hear a sound clip of it.

I sounds nice but not as loud as I would like. I am actually looking to do a borlamouth setup.

My B&B is also for sale if you are interested, I'm looking for $550, shipped.
