    BORLA cat back exhaust

    Just curious if anyone is running one? A 6 will never sound like a 8, but this one sounds really good to me.

    In my experience unless the V6 is tuned from the factory with a factory tuned exhaust system they seldomly sound good with an aftermarket systemBORLA cat back exhaust

    They make nice kits. I know the “gm performance” Silverado exhaust kits are made by Borla.

    Have not heard one on a Colorado.

    Agreed. I have the GM Performance cat back exhaust on my GMC Sierra AT4 and it sounds great and is one of the reasons I own a black truck (they didn't have a red or blue one with that exhaust). Mellow at idle, but as one of my friends said, when you step on it, it sounds like a Camaro V8 at full throttle.

    It sounds like they have worked closely with General Motors to get this right!

    I’ve had a Borla exhaust on my 99 Grand Prince since about 2000. No way it sounds like a V8 with it being a V6.

    I think the degree of the V effects the sound. Now back in the day I had a 3 1/4" DP on my 87' GN flowing into a 3" exhaust into a transverse muffler w/ dual exhaust pipes...that sounded great!

    Re: BORLA cat back exhaust

    Over in the FRS/BRZ forums the Borla's are known for sounding pretty good and being very livable at lower RPM's, yet having a nice howl at full song. However, there have also been tons of comments and a few pictures documenting build quality that is rather poor compared to other aftermarket exhausts available.

    Here is an interesting picture comparison of some of the internals. Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community - FT86CLUB - View Single Post - The Gen 2 Exhaust Thread
