  • Borla not to throaty.

    Hey guys, I just picked myself up a 94 Camaro 3.4 L auto with T's

    Its got the Borla on it already, and I was just wondering if it should be pretty deep and throaty.

    It sounds good with a bit of revvs, kinda deep at an idle. It isnt anything very deep though (I cant say much, as I havnt heard a stock 3.4, and didnt have my camaro before the exhaust was on.)

    I was just wondering what my exhaust should sound like say at:

    Idle - (currently) sounds slightly deep and has some throatyness to it

    Standing Revvs - (currently) You can hear the exhaust for sure, and when the revvs come down, it kinda cackles (which I actually like quite a bit).

    Hard accel. - (currently) Sounds nice till about 3000 - 3500 RPM, then it isnt noticable, it just fades out (I want something that will scream up top too).

    Highway Cruizing - (currently) Sounds alright, just how I would like it to sound, a little raspy, but not to loud.

    So, another question, what can I do to get my deepness and throatyness up in the higher revs, and maybe just higher overall. (Besides Headers, I cant quite afford them yet, maybe in Sept.)



    EDIT:: Note, the moving sounds are from inside the cockpit, I dont quite trust anyone but dad and myself driving this car yet, and dad knows better then to floor my car when Im watching.

    Well on my MagnaFlow, it took a little while for it to settle down and pick a sound..... it will get better with time.

      headers aren't that expensive if you find a good deal, I got mine on eBay for about $90. I don't know what you're budget is right now, but this was a steal for me. Maybe a high flow cat, or upgrade your tubing. 3" is always nice:)

        What you've described is exactly what you're going to get with almost any aftermarket exhaust on a v6. Nice sounds till around 3000 or 3500 then it "changes" to a more high pitch tone (V6 hello!).

            sounds like you got a non adjustible borla. the adjustible one can be LOUD.
