Re: Billy Boat or Borla?
 

I have the old borla, stick didn't sound good, but I removed the resonator and installed an x-pipe and it sounds really good now...

Re: Billy Boat or Borla?
 

I've had the Borla, and it sounded sweet, with no resonance. But it was restrictive and did not have much effect on performance. I switched to the old style B&B many years ago, and I love it.
My setup = Watson headers, no cats, no resonator, 3" X pipe, 3" B&B exhaust and mufflers.
It's a beast, and it sounds like one.

Another data point for you. I have Borla mufflers, a SW X-pipe, OBX headers and no cats. I love the way my car sounds. I've gotten compliments from folks. I do have more drone than most people would be happy with. I can make it more tolerable with a light throttle pedal. I only care about the drone when my wife is with me.

Re: Billy Boat or Borla?
 

Jeff - you asked earlier what the Banks Engineering tips look like when fitted to the Corsa exhaust on my car. They look exactly like the B&B set up on Mr Yuk’s picture. For me, it is the best of all worlds - tips fit the opening nicely and have all the benefits of the Corsa. Great sound and performance and absolutely no drone in any gear with 4:10s.

do you have a part # for the tips?

if B&B had no drone like corsa I would have done B&B. Corsa has no drone and I enjoy driving a car with no drone.

Re: Billy Boat or Borla?
 

Well said, and true!

Borla, while well made, remains too quiet.

If you want F1 race car sound go Corsa.

If you want deep old school sound go B&B.

Flowmaster sounded great, but it was aluminum, so not the best choice.

Good luck in your selection!

Re: Billy Boat or Borla?
 

I have the Flowmaster with Flowmaster series 50 Delta Flows with OBX headers, much like Hib Halverson wrote about. Not stainless but the Z never sees rain so I should be good for a long time. It sounds great, read a comment on here that the sound keeps improving over time, I'm finding that to be very true.

Thanks for all the tips everybody. I'm looking at the BB Fusion setup. Just need to figure out the plumbing without drilling any holes. I'm going to look for power at the fuse panel behind the radio if there is an optional spot. All still in the planning stages. I just need to round up a 4 post lift and find a place to stash my stock system.

Jeff,

Drone? I thought that was the entertainment system!
