Love my Borla cat-back.redrocketgto said:I am on my 3rd catback(Magnaflow),try to find a gto with the exhaust that you are considering to take a up close and personal listen.It will save you money and headache's,I had Corsa and Borla and did'nt like either,but I'm a 48yr. old fart so what do I know.
I don't want mine to loud either. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you?Cadsbury said:I've got SLP Long Tubes and a Magnaflow cat-back. Love the combo, although i didn't want it to sound real loud. IMO it's a good system and I like the sound...
I just listened to the clips from Magnaflow. I think their's sounds exactly like stock.? I figure it may be hard to really tell from a short .wav file.Walts 06 said:Thanks for all the input. I'm looking at the JBA catback also, it has a real muscle car sound. They have a sound clip on there web site. But I really like the looks of the Magnaflow too. Can't wait till I pick up the car on Thursday.Thanks again
Borla too loud? Wow, I'd hate to have it any less tame sounding. It's not that much louder than stock, imo. Any quieter and I'd might as well just have kept it stock, but that's just my way of thinking. The only thing I've really noticed a difference in is a minor rattling in the area of the climate control buttons, at a certain rpm range, and a super-sweet pop-popping out the back when I'm upshifting in the lower gears. An auto GTO might not get that pop-popping rumble from their Borla catback.6QTS11OZ said:MagnaFlow catback with x-pipe is the one. I've heard that the Corsa is to raspy and sounds like it's made out of tin. Complaints about the Borla is it's too loud during normal acceleration, tolerable at cruising speeds and it has a nice aggressive sound when you step on the throttle. The MagnaFlow has a tad bit throatier (if that's a word) sound than stock. Some say it's not loud enough but I love it. But as always it depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. A few guys have gone with the muffler delete approach. So that can be an option for you as well.
To each his own. I got the MagnaFlow and I wouldn't change it for anything.ModBoss2 said:Borla too loud? Wow, I'd hate to have it any less tame sounding. It's not that much louder than stock, imo.
