I have them with the stock headers, and an off-road Magnaflow x-pipe...

These things weight nothing at all and the tips look good..

The x-pipe helps with the resonance and I think if my cats were still there they would have been even quieter...

I drive my car everyday and I have even made two hour trips to the track with no major headaches...At WOT they just SCREAM

On a final note...I really like the sound of the stock cam at idle through those pipes...People always think I have a mild cam in there

The Borla straight pipes are MUCH louder than the Borla Stingers and B&B Bullets.. They literally have NO mufflers or resonators...They are pipes with tips on them that go straight from the H-pipe to the back bumper......

I've heard them.... on a cammed/headers car.... LOUD...

You're in luck. My buddy just installed the Borla straight pipes today on his 01 Z06 with Borla shor tube headers, and catted x-pipe. Take a listen. It's smooth and deep.

My car sounds a bit different...Maybe it is the stock headers but on high RPMs it gets really raspy...but I actually like that LS1 raspy sound...
