Ditto!

BASED ON THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY THAT PUSHED FOR THE Magnaflow...I respectfully ask how the Borla takes the win on this one? At least a dozen people voted Magnaflow with a handfull that said both are good, so in my opinion that also credits Magnaflow and only a few that liked the Borla. Having personally heard both systems I still have to say Magnaflow Again.

Here is my magnaflow catback with pacesetter LTs, ORY, CAI, and 3.73s, other then those its was stock. http://videos.camaroz28.com/video/06...826D090863.htm
In my sig is a vid of my 383 with the same exhaust.

Right now I have the Pacesetter LTs with a 3" H-pipe and 2 dynomax bullets dumped before the rear. This winter I'm getting my heads redone, and doing a D-1SC, Hooker longtubes, and Borla catback.

Me thinks it's resale value ***.

Borla kit = $600 - $800

Magnaflow kit = $300 - $400

Either of the kits is available to him for $200-ish.

If he doesn't like it he can sell the Borla, break even if not get more than what he paid for and get a new Magnaflow kit. Heck, the dual square Borla tips alone sell for like $130 retail.

Bang for the buck, aye?

Borla hands down. Only thing magnaflow has over borla is the price. Personally you get what you pay for. I am so very happy with my pacetter LT's through the borla. Sounds like a vette, nice deep idle but when i get on it, it has a high pitch scream. And man does it ****** scream

heres my setup... larger than average cam, heads, pacesetter LTs and a borla (wide open)



this is ******* loud. some people dont like it. at the shop i work at we do primarily magnaflows, which are relatively tame (while being thraoted and deep) at idle, but sound mean as hell at higher rpms
