Default exhaust Borla or slp

Hi kinda new here i have a 98 Z28 M6 with a Full Borla exhaust and it sound amazing. My question is besides loudness will i be able to tell a difference if i went with Slp Loudmout II as in performance wise. Also does anybody have Pics of it i know its a bullet muffler but how they set it up to have duals coming back out. I also have Pacesetter Long tubes and ORY

If you have the borla setup that is adjustable I think you are better off sticking with what you have. If its just the standard borla I would expect you to end up making a little more power with the SLP catback.

For the money, I think you'd be better off keeping your borla and investing it elsewhere.

in case you havent found out how to adjust it yet....

on the passenger side tip about a foot and a half in...you will see a 3 bolt flange, take the 3 bolts off and the tip will come off, between the 2 flanges is where you put the sound plates or no plate.

I have a borla as well, I would suggest keeping it and getting an e-cutout to place where the plates go, that way you can adjust the sound while driving.

pretty much all after market exhaust systems will give the same gains. The preference comes down to the individual and the sound they like. With that said, sound is speculative some love the loudmouth others hate it. So if you change your exhaust do it for a new tone, not power.

Keep the borla! Buy a DMH cutout for it to put in place of the plates. I dyno'd my car and with cut out closed I put 410 RWHP with it open I put down 420 RWHP. No the borla is not the only mod on my car, but that just shows how much the "adjustable" part helps and flows. I loved the electric cut out because it was adjustable on the go. I could crack it open a little or all the way.

While I love the sound of SLP's, I would keep the Borla and spend the money elsewhere.

Power wise, probably not a whole lot... sound wise... well, there is a difference. I have a love hate relationship with my LMII. Days when I want to hot rod around and be as loud as possible, then I love it. If I am driving on the highway for more than a half hour I want to kill myself because of the drone. I guess that is why I need loud music... to cover the exhaust. But you would be best off sticking to your borla, those are nice systems and you could put that money elsewhere.
