This
Long tube headers with no cats will make it sound very aggressive and you'll love it.

Axle backs and Catbacks just don't produce the same sound you get from long tube headers.

You'll get the flow performance from the Borla engineered pipes, and the sound of some unmuffled exhaust exhaling.

The truth is that this is what Borla used to do with their systems back during the LT1 days when I first fell in love with their sound - I realized that the performance was from their exhaust engineering, but the real sound was from pipe cutouts.

I'm running the ATAK system on my SS and I love the engineering behind it, but I'd like to get electric cutouts at some point to compliment the sound because the ATAK sounds amazing under load, but there's not much low-rev intimidation going on with it.

Hope that helps solve your problem.

I've always wanted to try the headers..is there a huge different between LTs and shorties? also the brand?
Would the Borla Atak make up for it?

Thank you for your advise!!!

yeah I have an X-pipe, so maybe if I upgrade to the ATAK it will sound aggrssive. So far I've made two huge mistakes with my camaro..L99 and weak exhaust :(

I did not purchase it from Borla, I got it from a website called M S Performance...I e-mailed them and asked about any possible trades using my warranty

I don't think it'll work I read the warranty, but ur best bet wud b to buy the s type axel bak then once u have it put yours in the sale section here and get some money back

I've been looking for corsa sports for my l99 in the for sale section and have seen several borla cat back/axle backs. Price will definitely be fair

why are you looking for corsa? have looked into Borla ATAK axle-back? does Corsa gives a true muscle car sound?
All I want is a aggressive muscle car sound..
