The Borla Long Tubes are fantastic systems, constructed from the same high quality 304 Stainless Steel that Borla uses for their exhausts. A complete header and exhaust combination will provide HP and Torque benefits well above the stock, and also give your Camaro a really mean and aggressive exhaust note. Of course, because this is Borla, the tone will be both aggressive and clean and provide you a powerful crescendo all the way up the RPM range. Of course, there are some downsides to Long Tube header packages. An exhaust is basically plug and play, but a full Long Tube header system will require a tune to get the true performance and efficiency benefits it offers. The install on a header package isn't as easily managed in a garage either, and is recommended to be done by a mechanic (unless you yourself are well experienced). Because of these reasons, and the increased price, LT headers tend to be less popular than Cat-Back exhaust options, even though their performance and tonal benefits are typically three-fold. If you are looking to purchase a complete Borla LT Header set, of course, I would look at combining the package with the Borla Exhaust of your choice for a full front to back exhaust upgrade. It is easier to install both at the same time than it is to do them separately, and will save $$ on the install cost.
Hope this helps you out! Thanks, Matt |

Does the 3" system drone as much as the normal S-type?

The two systems are really comparable in tone, and the 3" is even a bit louder, so yes, the drone will be similar. I don't think the S-Type drone is bad, though, unless you're using the system with a header package. With just the cat-back, it doesn't bother me enough to ever annoy me, and really only requires that I turn my radio up just a tiny bit louder than I did before. Of course, drone is subjective to the driver, and maybe my tolerance for it is high, but, I simply can't understand if anybody would complain about it with the S-Type exhaust.
Thanks, Matt |

Okay talk about the Borla systems for V6'ers. I am at decision time & everyone I talk to changes my mind. My most recent choice was Borla axle back because the last guy said "if you are not going to add headers at some point I would save the extra $ & go with axle back, there is not that much difference in sound or performance". What say you?

Ok I have a Camaro Convertible on order and want to add a CAI and Borla Touring exhaust. Any tuning needed for this. And is their any drone with the touring system. The top will be down most of the time and I don't want to much drone. Thanks.

I too have a vert on order and want to up the ATAK system on it but I'm not too sure if it would be too loud with the top down. Any thoughts?
