i have a 96 lt1 trans am ...im looking for some pipes to put on it ...but i dont know if i want to get the borla ,,or magnaflow,,or flowmaster...any suggestions on which one is better and why ..thanks

 

The Borla is the most expensive of the bunch, but give you the option to tailor the sound and flow with the interchangable flow plates. IMO the design of the exhaust tips is dated, and really isn't the best looking.
The Magnaflow is probably the best "bang for the buck", and flows as good as the borla, and quiet inside the car, until you put your foot into the loud pedal.
The Flowmaster sounds good, loud, and flows better than the stock gm exhaust,
but IMO, the Spintech cat back flows a lot better than the Flowmaster and is very similar to the Flowmaster in sound for about the same price.

 

I have the Magnaflow and i would recomend it becuase it's priced very good and it's a solid stainless steel design. The muffler on it is a straight through type so it flow's very good but it's still a tad bit louder at idle than a stock setup but noticably louder at WOT.

You wont regret buying the Magnaflow catback.
