Anyone looking to hear catless long tubes paired with a GM Performance Exhaust

Hey guys I just wrapped up the install of obx catless longtube headers. I was told that the GM performance exhaust I have is made by Borla for GM. I seriously doubted that this exhaust would do it for me but I decided to give it a whirl in the possibility of saving some coin. Glad I did. I think it sounds pretty good. Whatcha think

Please excuse the southern accent
First start up on jack stands



Clean startup after setting it on the ground

Rumor has it that exhaust is the Borla S Type, if so here is HF cats and LT with a brutal cam.

looks like you need to pull your muffler tips out a little before they melt the diffusser. Sounds good though!

Thank you for the post of a clean start up with almost the EXACT exhaust i have been looking at. Although i was looking at Kooks with highflow cats. Could you get a video of you driving away? and one of you giving it some gas while your pulling away? I really have to do my research when i buy exhaust cause i only wanna do it once. Also drone doesn't bother me never has. it sounds awesome from what i hear but i want to hear it outside of the garage without the echo effect of the garage. Thanks

Yep, was just going to post this. My Dads Left one started melting. The guy that did his exhaust cut them to short. Same mufflers. He will not have it fixed so the hole will be pretty bad soon. Their is a bowtie on the top of the tips and should be able to see them. I remember seeing them till he had the ARH system put on.
