Default Borla Cat Back, well almost.

Alright. What I'm working with now is BBK headers, ORY, 3 inch flowmaster cat back. It sounds pretty good, and I was thinking of getting a cut out since the FM doesn't flow as good as others. Then I rememberd the Borla system I have in my shed, we took it off my dads 1998 z28 b/c he didn't like it.. I've heard lt1's with the borla system and absolutly loved it, sounds great. So I run up into the loft of our shed, and pull out the muffler and attatched exhaust pipe, so I looked around and found all that I have...



So what do I need to put this on my 96?? BTW the bucket has a **** load of hangers, clamps, and bolts... along with the plates. Look at my cardomain (Spud9) for what I have now, gotta run! Thanks!

Here is your thread from awhile back...

So, will this system bolt up to a lt1 car?

I know it will bolt up to a stock car, but as you can see I only have what I posted a picture of, I have no I pipe, or over the axle pipe. Where can I get said pipes? Will it really flow better * with the block off plate, not the open plate * and give me more power?

And the other question would be, If I do get a borla I pipe, will it reach back to the ORY???

You can't order the pipes through borla, they will not sell anything seperate unless your car was in an accident. I tried to get the s pipe at the end, and they won't do it, got me pretty pissed. Only thing you can do is try to find someone with some extra pipe, or custom fab it yourself.
