Hey Black,
Sounds great and looks just as good. I've got 2" american racing headers, no cats and the Stock NPP. Sounds decent under acceleration, maybe a touch raspy. The thing I LOVE is that when the valves close, crusing in 10th gear it's literally whisper quiet.
How is the highway cruise volume with the borla ?

Thanks man!
Highway volume is pretty decent. In tour mode is perfect. Quiet when cruising and loud at wot. You definitely can hear it clearly when cruising but is not intrusive.

I took the ZL-1 out for some beauty shots, since I was taking a pic of the carbon fiber tips for this post. The car is complete in terms of upgrades.

Interior: Carbon fiber/leather steering wheel, carbon dash and shift bezel, 2SS leather door cards and knee pads.

Exterior: Paint corrected and fully covered in Suntech gloss PPF. Ghost side-markers, GM smoked tail lights and center brake light, smoked reflectors.

Drivetrain: Katech ported throttle body, Elite Engineering catch can, and the crown jewel, the Borla cat back S exhaust.

Chassis: BMR cradle lockout kit, upper control arms, upper and lower trailing arms, toe rods, cradle brace, mid-chassis brace, and custom black powdercoated strut tower brace.

As soon as I post this, I'm taking it out for a rip up Sandia Mountain to the east of Albuquerque.

I don't think they sell only the axle back. Look for it in other websites. No the borla. Is a bit confusing lol.

I think it was around $500 if I remember correctly. I did all the install and have a local shop I know really well. Only thing not coated is the factory exhaust manifolds. I kept all the factory cats in place and coated those as well. I did it for both looks and heat. I have race deck flooring in my garage and noticed on lower vehicles the exhaust heat after parking the cars would cause the floor to expand under the car and bow/warp up a bit. Coating the exhaust helps to reduce it quite a bit.

Thank you.

The camaro never sees water so keeping it clean is easy. I use detail spray with carnuba wax on the under side to keep things clean.
