Borla Identification Help PLZ

There is a local selling his Borla exhaust system for an F-Body for cheap. However he doesn't remember what the part number for it is as well as he says he had it on both his 95 and his 99 Camaro's. I have 94 Firebird that I am looking at this for and need to make sure it will fit. Borla actually has several different models to fit the different years of F-Body and I cant seem to tell the difference between them.

To make it even more interesting, he states that this setup includes an off road Y pipe that goes up to his shorty headers. This Y pipe also appears to be stainless (haven't seen them in person) and borla only lists a Y pipe for its LS1 cars.

So, anyone wanna take a shot and see what they think this exhaust will fit?

Picture of the muffler isn't very clear, but is that even the "adjustable" Borla? It looks more like the "rear section", not the full, adjustable catback.

I was thinking the same thing but it looks like it could be the 98-02 2.5" exit catback part number 140028 with the 60059 Y-pipe.

The cat back would be designed for a 98-02 car but the y pipe would be for a 00-02 car. If that is the case, how would it fit up with his 99 and 95 cars? Not to mention would it even fit onto my 94 or would it require some modification?

Anyone else ever try to do that? I know I would prefer the adjustable setup as well, but if I can get this to work and it is cheap enough I will do with out the adjustable part.

I had the "rear section" only on my 94 at one point, and it did not provide any significant performance gains. Sounded good though.

Its really unclear what parts you are interested in using on your 94. The Y-pipe is not for a 94 LT1, that's very clear.

The person selling the exhaust said he had this setup bolted straight up to his shorty headers without cats. I don't think that is right as the front pipes look like they barely turn upwards and wouldnt have the lenght to even reach the end of the headers.

I was only going to buy the setup from him if I thought I would be able to make it work on my car, but I dont think it will. Guess if anyone is near Cedar Rapids Iowa that is interested in it shoot me a PM and I will get you the guys contact info for it.
