Default Switching forums. New C5

Hi! Well after years in the C4 forum I need to make a move to here. I made the purchase, 2002 6speed with 32000 miles on it. Has a few goodies on it. So, you will be hearing from me as I study and learn what mods and personal touches I want to do to her. Oh, can someone tell me what kind of borla exhaust is on the car from the pics? I haven't yet climbed under to see if I could tell.

Welcome to the C5 world. Nice car

Have no idea on your exhaust, but I do like the tips.

Welcome & nice car!!!

As far as the exhaust, looks more like a B&B than borla. Let us know what you find!

That system looks like B&B (Billy Boat) Route 66's. I had the same setup before I swapped it out. Welcome!

I can see the little borla badge on the muffler when you look through the rear vent?

I will say this about the exhaust, it is awfully quiet for my taste. When I seen the add i was excited it had a cat back on it. But was very underwhelmed when I heard it. Not bad sounding, just quiet.

Welcome...she's a real beauty

I agree with it having B&B exhaust. Looks exactly the same as the pipes on my friends 2000 convertible.

Enjoy,
Nick

Ha! I still have my LT4 for now. But excited for the new learning curve with this car and forum. I'm mechanically compitent and do most all of my own work, but new to the LS1. But learning it's a good motor and car to mod!

The tips look like these http://rpmspeed.com/97-04-c5-z06-b-b...cturers_id=155

Click link to open bigger picture. But looks like B&B.

If Borla, it is pretty common for them to stamp Borla on the top of the tips.

But then again it could be this one.. http://www.corvettesouth.com/corvett...ps-523012.html
