Borla S Type owners!
Hey Guys, I'm about to buy an exhaust for my 2010 auto SS but, as everyone does in the begining, I can't take a decision.
I really love the sound of the S type catback by Borla, but i heard about the "drone" (my car is bone stock and still have the afm on). Does anybody have this cat back system on his Camaro? I heard of the drone free Solo perf., they sound really mean, but a little too agressive for me... Please help me with your experiences and comments! Thnx!!:mad0259: |
i have the axel back s-type and yes with all exhaust it does have a little drone between 75 and 80 in 6th gear but not to bad.....the drone is a personal preference thing...whats bad to one is not that bad to others

Borla Type S here from the start...No issues at all...I did the
Hypertech Programmer at first took out the AFM...This year i did headers finished exhaust & custom tune...Love it...Good luck with your decision and was at your point lat year... Did not regret Borla Type S at all...:thumbsup: |
You're right, it's something personal, maybe I'm gonna like it...What I am sure of, is that I don't like the noise the car does in 3rd gear around 1500 rpm when afm comes on...

The only way to tune out the afm is by buying a 300 dlls tuner no?? |

I have the Borla Stinger on my car and if I had to do it all over again I would buy the exact same exhaust. I LOVE it!! My car is an M6 and I do have some drone if I am lazy with shifting and lug the motor.....if I am in the right gear then no drone.
Easily the best sounding exhaust on the market in my opinion. |
I have a L99 with DT shorty headers, JBA Hi Flow cats, and Borla S type catback. There is drone around 65-70 in drive mode. In manual mode it isn't as bad. Love the sound, but hate the drone.
I am planning to have a tune both for performance gains and to solve the drone issue. Until the tune I can live with the drone. Love the sound when I take off, so I would buy it all over again even with the slight drone. I hope this helps you. |

I found a huge difference with just the tuner and axle back...But i's like anything else your gonna want more...:thumbsup: |
Thank you very much everybody!!
When you buy a tuner it already comes with the tune to disable AFM right? Or do I have to buy it too? I don't really understand how tuners work, does it come blank? Lol sorry for all these questions I am a beginner! Thnx! |

As I am only going to put cat back on, 380 dlls seems to be a lot of money just to tune out AFM... Thnx! |
And realize if you change the factory tune, your power train warranty may be affected. Search the forum and you'll find all kinds of info about it.

I have a Borla S type cat back with LT headers which I modified with Solo's J pipe. No drone anymore.

A lil bit between 70-80 mph on the freeway... if you don't do much highway driving, you won't notice it.
I have long tube headers with mine and it still doesn't bother me much. I listen to my music between 7-13 and don't notice it at all. You can always do SOLO or Corsa to remove drone, but I went to multiple shows/meets with 5th gens and nothing... NOTHING rivals the TONE of the Borla S type. With headers, I drive with the windows down for city driving because it sounds so incredible. |
