Samatbama · 12-03-2010, 01:30 AM

Hey guy!! I order my borla atak catback for my LS3. I put them in the car but I was disappointment, cause you cant tell I have any exhaust on it. its like nothing.
So I called them ...ets
They send me another one. but still I dont think that what I have seen on youtube or some thing is not really that loud.
here is some pics.!! what I ve to do??
I can post video if you guys want?

axle and cat backs can only sound so loud.. you will need headers to really get the sound you want

*Mindz* · 12-03-2010, 01:50 AM

Have you heard the exhaust from outside the car? The axleback don't really make the car louder, but changes the sound a bit. A 3" catback will increase the volume a bit, but won't do much.

If you're looking for a louder tone, try replace the cats with midpipes.

Apex Motorsports · 12-03-2010, 07:57 AM

The ATAK is pretty aggressive but give it some time and it will get louder. Like the other guys said, adding high flow cats and LTs will really wake it up.

Also most exhuasts get louder with time, so consider that

IROCanSS · 12-03-2010, 08:13 AM

As stated all you got was an axel back system. Adds very little sound.

Want a litte more, do a cat back and eliminate the resonators.

Still not enough, try hi flow cats or catless midpipes.

STILL NOT LOUD ENOUGH? Get some long tubes.

AND STILL NOT ENOUGH??? get some cutouts welded in just after the long tubes....

CBRTRX · 12-03-2010, 08:20 AM

I can say this if you remove the cats the car will be MUCH louder, i couldnt beleave how the stock cats silenced this car down so much.

brantley847 · 12-03-2010, 08:29 AM

Why don't you get someone you trust to drive your car by you...trust me..You will notice. I only have the S type..I don't hear much from cabin but I left my significant other drive by me in the neighborhood...only at 25 mph I noticed the real sound...

Headers will give you what you want. Just start saving the cash...

HI FLOW CATS.. problem solved

klatterblast · 12-03-2010, 08:43 AM

you need to get rid of the stock resonators and put an aftermarket x-pipe in and then you will hear it. i have a 304 ss borla mid pipe and x-pipe assembly that i will sell $400 like new. i have no use for it since i got my arh header system.

GEEo · 12-03-2010, 08:45 AM

My friend installed a Borla ATAK Cat Back on his and ryt away the thing was LOUD!!

He had stock headera and cats. Its was. LS3 too.

BSX_Camaro · 12-03-2010, 10:36 AM

Axel back will only really change the tone of the car and get rid of the "bucket" stock muffler system. Sure it will be a little louder but if you want loud, you need to AT LEAST do a Catback system. But as others have said, there is a progression for how loud you want to go.

metallicide · 12-03-2010, 03:26 PM

Yep I ran straight pipes with just the manifolds and the cats....wasnt real loud...put long tubes and high flow cats with the pips....WOW way to loud...now flowmaster AT with them and perfect tone and volume

Ditch the factory system and get catback or LT

LS3SuperSport · 12-03-2010, 05:47 PM

will mid pipes work with the factory xhaust manifolds or do you need headers?
