Default BBK headers sound clip

Here is a sound clip of my newly installed BBK headers. Its connected to the stock exhaust pipe, w/ a Borla muffler. Not sure on the exact type of Borla, it was on the car when I bought it.

The install on the headers were very easy. They fell right in. Their instructions say to remove the steering shaft & oil dipstick tube. You have to remove the dipstick tube, not the steering shaft. The ball flanges make bolting up the Y to the headers a breeze too. I posted my install & problem I had with the Y not being a direct fit to the catback here:https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/965449-installed-my-bbk-lts-today-just-one-problem.html
After I had to install poly mounts, I noticed the pass. side collector is kinda close to the heat shield, but I dont get any noise from it. Very happy with the headers though.
