Is a Borla an $800 cut out?
Probably one of the more heated topics on CZ28 has to be the Borla muffler. Known for having a popular sound and high quality construction, the debate never ends about whether it's a great system or a glorified cut out.
Personally I can't see the reason to run the full bypass plate all the time. And having sound only come out of the one side seems odd. And a big part of the sound is how the inside of the muffler is constructed. Bypassing that just gives a loud untuned cutout sound. Then again, how many people run the full closed plate or the 2nd most closed plate?

I love mine, I have an electric cutout installed instead of using any of the plates supplied with the system.
I usually keep it opened all the time, has a deep mellow, yet aggressive tone, and no drone inside the car. And with the flip of a switch, it becomes nice and quiet!

I have the borla and am very happy with it, out of all the cat-backs i have had the borla is the best but i am sure if you look hard you will find a better one, you know how that goes!
I have LT, no cat, and the borla with the full plate in, anything but the full plate was so load on my car that it gave me a head-ache so i put the full plate in and it sounds great and head-aches are gone
It was just way too load with the open plates but again i dont have converters so that would probably quiet the car down quite a bit if i ran cat's.
