X. Night and day difference on my car. I still think the two into one design is too restricting for a Vette.

Hey thanks Jeff. I'm getting the idea that a hot daily driver is a Borla exhaust with X pipe on an L98. Does this sound riight? No racining, just having a good time and average driving - and loving the car :cheers:
Opinions please! :cool:

Borla is too tame on Vettes. I'm extremely happy with my B&B setup (I didn't pay anywhere near the ridiculous 1g+ price tag). If you just want sound buy the stock exhaust off a LT1. It is 2.75" in most places (you can easily cut the shrink down parts and put 2.75" in it's place). You can cut off the resonator and throw a x pipe there. Then you can buy any aftermarket muffler and slap them on. This way you have a dual stainless steel (409) mandrel bent system for close to nothing. Then you'll be set. :cheers:
