Borla S-Type vs. SLP Loudmouth II - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Which one do you prefer? Quality of the parts, the sound it makes, price, take all into account.

This is the Borla S-Type...

And this is the SLP Loudmouth II...

Both are nice. You've got a tough decision on your hands

I chose Borla, but I've always had Borla on my cars. You'd be happy with either one I suspect.

I've been leaning towrd the SLP II but after hearing them one after the other they sound so similar.
I really want to hear both with LT headers.

2Fast4U2010 · 12-08-2009, 10:16 AM

They sound the same, the other guy got on the gas more to make it sound louder.
I'm getting ready to order Borla S type myself today.

Between the two of them it is really a wash I would say. Both are top notch products and compines. I would amost say fliping a coin may be the only way to decied. I am more of a fan of the loudmouth I kit, but I like my cars loud.

3 months ago I was in your shoes, it really is personal preference. I chose the Borla because I thought it sounded deeper and the tips were welded on. It makes it a bit tougher to get them aligned properly, but mine are centered and I love them. You won't go wrong either way

drtwo · 12-08-2009, 01:48 PM

My observation has been that more people have heard of Borla and when you say, "I have a Borla exhaust" they will raise their eyebrows a bit and say, "nice...". Loudmouth may not get the same reply. Both sound good, but probably a better Brand history with Borla...

chris@borla · 12-08-2009, 02:13 PM

Both are great products. I have had Slp on a few of my previous Mustangs. They are just a tad too raspy for me. I switched to the Stingers and they had just the right sound on the Mustang. Deeper, but still a little raspy.

I found this youtube vid with ARH headers and Borla paired.. Not sure if it is axle or catback.. I will be doing ARH longtubes with high flow cats to my Borla Catback S-type system.. This sounds incredible

Well, I can tell you this much, seeing both in person the Borla tips don't even come close when it comes to looks. As for sound I could not tell the difference. I went back and forth myself. One reason is I kept focusing on that the Borla was that it had welded on tips. I am now glad they are not welded on when it comes to the SLP. I had much more control over centering my system during the install. I have had Borla systems on two of my other cars and they build a good product so I'm sure you would be happy with either one.

Here's my post regarding the SLP...

Hey I watched that video in your thread, and it sounds great. But it seems like it pops quite often and I really don't like that. I thought LM I was the one that popped, and not LM II.
I want something that doesn't pop. So should I be thinking about getting the Borla S-Type?

ORANGE U NV · 12-09-2009, 07:02 PM

The SLP has adjustable tips that may allow you to get the look you want easier. My tips are slightly extended from where my factory tips were because I perferred it. Both are great products but SLP has a long history with GM as an offical partner in f-body performance packages.

During the revs it may sound like poping, however, when driving I never have anything like that. For the most part the Borla and the SLP have a very similar design, so what you hear there is basically what you will here from the Borla. You may want to check youtube and listen to some video clips. I will say this though. The videos probably don't do any of the exhaust systems justice as if you were hearing them in person. Mine sounds way better that what I captured on video. I'm sure many others will tell you the same thing. Good luck.
