Got some drive time today. Cruising on flat terrain, it has a nice low tone that isn't too intrusive. Under a load from about 2k rpm and upward, she starts to moan. Any sudden cracks of the throttle and it yells at you. Pedal to the floor and it's screaming. I love it, should have been done long ago.
The Flowmasters got me through many years but they were kind of unrefined, which is what I was going for early on. I wanted the car loud and roaring when I first bought it. That was 155 less rwhp ago. With more power, it became another animal. The interior of the car had a tinny buzz about it from the low roar of the Flowmasters. The Flows were always ON, constant drone, all the time.
The
Borla sounds more like a sports car than a muscle car. More gradual and smooth than sudden and explosive with its tone and volume, if you get what I'm saying. Guess I'm getting older, I want my car to be a bit more sedate. I would recommend the kit to anyone looking for a new catback. The kit is four main pipe pieces, 2 sections to a side. Slip fit connectors from the mid pipe to the
Borla pipes and a bag of miscellaneous hardware. Not overly complex and there is no need for too much adjustment. Put in on loose, give it a couple tweaks, torque it down and its on. I watched the tech put it together. Took about 45 minutes, including cutting the old pipes off. That wouldn't have been the case had I done them at home without a lift.
Summit had a great price on the kit, so I'm glad I pulled the trigger. I can still wake up the neighbors but I can control it more to the point of doing so when I feel like it. Big thumbs up.
