Default Borla Straights

Hello. I'm looking into the Borla straight pipes for my Z. I'm looking for the agressive sound they produce but I'm not totally sold on the single tip look. To me a C5 is quad tips but the borla offers the sound and price I'm looking for.

Can you guys with the single tips post some picts?

Thanks.

These arn't Borla but custom made 3" straight pipes, no mufflers.



you may not like the look or a single exhaust but it is less restrictive then quad tips, so a bit less back pressure so a bit more HP.

Oh forget a conversation with a passanger or listing to music at WOT. Not an option.

It's OK. I prefer to let the LS6 do the talking. I did a muffler delete on my '05 Goat so I'm used to the sweet sound of LOUD.

You get used to the 2-tip look pretty quick...
