Question for those with Borla mufflers.
I've been looking at the cat backs and just the mufflers with the LT-1 style out-lets. Are they the real deal of a LT-1 style tip or is it just a muffler with two out lets and a piece of sheet metal sliped over to make it look like LT-1 style tips??

I replaced my LT-1 mufflers with Borla's about 9 yrs ago. I went with the square ZR-1 tips. They were pricey as mentioned above but you usually get what you pay for. Like I said, they have been on the car for better than 9 years, no problems and still look good IMHO.

I wasn't sure I was going to like the Borlas after having read some
negative feedback regarding price, quality, and "look". But I ordered them
anyway (I really wanted something similar to the LT1 tip). I couldn't be happier. I love the look, sound, and quality. They get a lot of positive
reaction at shows and cruise nights. I must warn you however, Borla's
support sucks (but I imagine most companies these days don't try too
hard to make a positive impression). Here are a couple of pix for you.

Yup. Just a wrap around the two pipes. Found them to be quieter than everyone says. Some resonance. Would pick something different, but they came on the car.
