  • BORLA owners come inside...

    Has anyone with the adjustable cat-back thrown a bullet muffler or a resonator on the i-pipe to keep the growl but quiet it down a bit? I made a custom plate with a .75" opening that I run and it sounds great...but once I get to around 80 or so, i start getting a little drone. Otherwise I love the set-up. Opinions....

    By the way, I haven't put on headers or a high-flow cat yet, so I know that will make it even a little louder.

      When I installed my headers, I replaced the cat with a bullet muffler. I now have to run the Borla fully closed because the with the Borla open at all, it's very obnoxious in the upper RPM band and very, VERY LOUD! :eek:

      With the headers & !cat, it sounds more like a 6 cylinder (higher RPM's) than it did with a cat and no headers. However, without the cat installed the drone has moved from the front of the car to the rear of the car where it should be. I no longer get headaches while driving down the road and it's not impossible to keep a conversation going with the windows up.

      IMHO, the bullet muffler added more rasp to the exhaust system or at least didn't help to remove any. If I had to do it again, I'd probably install a nice quality cat (not a POS Catco) instead of the bullet muffler and then take the pickup on long trips instead of the Camaro! ;)
