BORLA 140028 Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System for 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS/Camaro Z28/ Pontiac Firebird/Trans-Am 5.7L V8 Automatic/Manual

The BORLA 140028 Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System for the 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS/Z28 and Pontiac Firebird/Trans-Am has elicited a spectrum of reactions from users. For those looking to enhance their vehicle's performance while enjoying a distinctive sound, reviews indicate that this system delivers a noticeable improvement over stock. At idle, the exhaust produces a soft rumble that gradually intensifies, showcasing a deeper V8 tone as RPMs rise. However, while many appreciate the refined sound quality, some users feel that it does not fulfill the expected loudness or depth they associate with traditional muscle cars. Installation has proven to be a mixed experience. While the system fits well into the stock hangers, some users have reported challenges with fitting adjustments. Issues such as contact with the heat shield near the gas tank have prompted multiple adjustment attempts. Additionally, several customers have expressed disappointment regarding the specifications provided, noting a lack of detail about the muffler outlet pipe sizes, which detracted from the overall sound quality. For a few, the sound produced has been likened to that of an import vehicle rather than the throaty growl typical of American muscle. Despite these drawbacks, it's noteworthy that the system’s durability is highlighted, as it is less likely to rust compared to other options on the market. Overall, while some customers remain loyal to Borla's reputation for quality and performance, others have found this particular exhaust system lacking compared to alternatives like Flowmaster, leading to a overall mixed reception. **
