Hey guys. I was wondering if I just put a borla muffler in place of the 80 series on my cat back system, if it would sound different. I know you guys with borla seem to like it. I just figured this would work as opposed to buying the whole cat back and then not liking it.
Thanks [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

I've always had Flowmasters and loved the sound. I've never had Borla but have heard the setup. The idle was ok, but at high it sounded worse than Flowmaster. With a V6 you are always going to have that rice sound, but I think Flowmaster sounded the best.
It will sound much different. flowmaster is a chambered muffler, borla is a straight-through muffler with removable plates to adjust volume. I personally like the flowmaster better.
I've been on this board for a long time and I really don't post a lot, but for once I'd like to step in...i have a borla exhaust, and if it's opened at all than IT DOES have a raspy sound. However, with the closed plate it has no raspy/ricey sound whatsoever. I'm sure when the tracks reopen here in NJ, some other guys will here my car. It could very well be my hearing, but i HONESTLY do not think my car has any ricey sound whatsoever.

I have the 80 series only because I had to get those nice pretty dual tips and I can tell you this. I sound like a damn rice rocket, I am embarrassed beyond all belief when I hear myself, but moreso when a ricer tells me how nice my setup sounds. I have no idea how the borla sounds but I dont think it could get much worse than what I have on my 3.8.
There is fast, too fast, and way too fast. Way too fast is almost fast enough.

Accually the v6 sound clip is the same as the v8 one, atleast the last time i checked it was.
I agreee my v6 with flows sound so rice i am thinking about changing my tips because i t hink it got worse when i threw on the tips i got it sort of amplifies the rice. maybee round ones will resonate it a little
i have 80 series and love them, and when i put headers on it got rid of nearly all the ricey sound and gave it a deeper sound. but i have always liked my flows even before the headers
