I just bought the Borla ATAK mufflers by themselves. Took me 1.5 hrs and a sawzaw. Cut off factory and they slipped right on.

These? http://www.phastekperformance.com/Bo...atak-11788.htm

Or something else?

Just hearing your car may have just made me decide where I want to go with mine. It sounds amazing.

yes that is them. Just make sure you get the ones with the proper tips. I have the Factory GFX kit. so mine was ordered with no tips. You can go to the Borla website and look at the different ones.

The axle back is actually what I had been looking at possibly replacing the muffler delete with. I have just been very hesitant about buying them.

How much quieter are they before headers, cam, etc?

Remember his car is cammed. Completely different sound.

They are loud. This is the first mod I did when I got my car. Got lots of compliments and people always stared when I drove thru parking lots.

Then later I decided on headers and cam.

Listen to the video on the Borla website. The test car they are using is a stock Camaro. I will link the video. this is all 3 of the camaro mufflers

True. Another reason I was looking at the borla is to actually have mufflers, because the Texas inspection requires them. Right now I'm somewhat banking on it not being checked in February.

This isn't going to be an easy decision.

Also, on a side note. Just talked to my mom on the phone and mentioned wanting to do stuff to my car. Surprisingly she said, "go for it!" Which is not what I was expecting. I figured she'd be the one to argue. I sent her the video of meshamey's car and she was all for the upgrades.

The axle back won't give you any more sound than the muffler delete so why bother? The muffler delete probably already made the afm MUCH more obvious and annoying. I'd add LT headers and a tune.

the mufflers will give you a better tone.

But one thing with having the L99. spend the money on the Range device for your car, quick fix to disable AFM and never have to worry about it again.

Or go ahead and get a tune and get rid of AFM

SO

Get Borla attack
Get a tune or get Range AFM device

BravoMyles · 01-19-2014, 11:24 PM

Already considering finding a used one around somewhere. May post here in the correct boards in a bit to see if I can find one. AFM is the ONLY thing I dislike about the Camaros. No idea why they ever did it, but hey, I'm no engineer. lol

BravoMyles · 01-19-2014, 11:30 PM

My dad's say, since he pays the bills, is that until I have a good paying job the warranty stays. So an actual tune is kinda out for now. I'll probably try to find the Range thing used, then when I can mod and actually tune resell the range device.

I'm still under his belt a bit since he's paying for college and all, which is totally fine by me. lol

mikeyg36 · 01-19-2014, 11:44 PM

I mean you can just buy the tune and not say anything

BravoMyles · 01-19-2014, 11:49 PM

As extremely tempting as that sounds, I'd slip up somehow and he'd find out. =P
