I have a 2000 firebird with borla I put it on before I did anything to the intake and it sounded the same as after I put in slp cai and removed the silencer. I have the adjustable borla for the trans am though

I also put it on before I did any induction work... and also didn't notice a difference

I haven't tried it, but if you run it with the plate wide open, it shouldn't sound that ricey at higher rpm's

i dont have a plate in there right now and its kinda ricey I have a new highflow cat on it too 3" could this cause it?

Swap your borla for a spintech, and keep the adjustable tips. Then you'd have an adjustable spintech!!!

Anyone have a PN and a price for the Spintech? Ive heard good about them and wanted to look into gettin one.

Well I had a turbo on my 3.4 with no cat and 3" stainless from turbo back and it didn't sound ricey at all. :D

I have a flowmaster, I know it's not a Borla and I dought that it matters, but I had the same problem and the ricey sound went away after I put headers on. I don't know how big your I pipe is but you might want to try a bigger I pipe too, it will give you a deeper and louder sound, make it sound like an 8. That's what everyone thinks I have, even car guys think it's an 8.

hey dude...yeah I had the same rice-a-roni sound coming from my exhaust too at first, but since I have the adjustable exhaust all I did was put the wide-open baffle on. and after I had problems with my catalytic converter (see "Clogged Cat Converter") I was forced to gut the cat and hollow it out, and now my exhaust sounds very throaty...kinda like an 8 :D so if you dont have the adjustable cat-back, get yourself a Flow-tech exhaust cutout and slap that sucker on there and bypass the muffler lol well...headers and hollowing out the cat will definitly help the sound too [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] fluffy likes it

Only way you'll get any real relief from the sound and gain some performance is to port the heads, CAM, Rockers, headers, and a 3" cat converter. More air flow will will help.
