Just installed Borla S Type on LS3. Will it get louder? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

No.. tone is just better, but thats all personal preference. Try to find a local camaro meet in your area and I can almost guarantee someone there will have borla and someone will have magnaflow. Both create a great product, but I do believe actual volume level will be louder with magnaflow.

Louder with the Magnaflow? Thats interesting. I always thought the Magnaflow was pretty quiet. Thanks for the insight!

Magnaflows (at least the ones I have seen on buddy's vehicles) have a straight pipe design. Borla still has the mufflers..again, I could be wrong. I have only had borla on my car.

I thought the magnaflow street was relatively quiet, whereas the comp was louder. If you check out their webpage it should guide you in the right direction.

Is there any drone with just Borla-S axle backs, nothing else ? I want a nice sound but not drone on the highway.

get some kooks LT's 1 7/8. It will sound amazing....

I was sold on the S-Type paired with long tubes after listening to PQ's exhaust video... downright nasty, exactly the sound I was looking for.

I believe the Magnaflow system I referenced has dual mufflers like the S type.
I know they have a straightpipe system, and it sounds good, but I believe it has the 5" tips if I'm not mistaken and that just looks goofy as hell in my opinion.

I keep going back to Borla S-Type in my mind, but Im going to check out some exhausts in person before I buy, Magnaflow included.

Thanks!

I have a borla axle back for about a year now and it will not get much louder. I think the borla is more about a nice low rumble sound, more throaty than some others I have heard.

I have an L99 with Borla axle back and recently added a Halltech CAI and custom tune from JRE and the sound from those borla's are great now! The rumble is more like the roar of a hungry sasquatch about to pounce on something

.......we have a really bad sasquatch problem here in DC by the way....
