Exclamation Have questions about Borla cat back

I had a 00 Camaro 3.8L with the Borla cat back, recently I just got an 02 Z28 and my question is will the borla for the 3.8L work on a 5.7L?

Re: Have questions about Borla cat back

fromwhat i've seend, catbacks for the v6s are typically 2.75"

which is the same size as stock exhaust on a v8....aftermarket systems are always 3" or bigger

Re: Have questions about Borla cat back

I measured the piping and it is 3" My main concern was the muffler being fit for a v8

How big is your muffler? I can compare it to my Borla.

Re: Have questions about Borla cat back
