flowmaster exhaust vs. Borla
I have an '06 C6 and am considering changing the exhaust. I am dealing with Guldstrand's in Burbank, CA and I know he is the guru of Vettes. He uses Flowmaster exhaust. I like the sound but I recently heard Borla and it blew me away! Does anyone have experience with both systems? What are the pros & cons of each? Cost? Do they really give you better mileage and HP? Any feedback would be great! thanks!

Gains as far as mileage/power are going to be minimal. I would pick a system based off what sound you like best. I agree Borla sounds amazing but $$$. I also hear that Borla's quality is really good too. As a comparison with Flowmaster I would say Borla would be a better choice but Flowmaster sounds good too. Although, I believe Flowmaster is aluminized mild steel and Borla is stainless steel.

The flowmasters I have seen are aluminized, I like flowmasters and have had them on my musclecars and mustangs where they are tucked out of sight, but for my Vette where they are out in the open I think the polished stainless are the only way to go. I have Corsa sports and I think they look good and fuction well, plus they do not drone, which is something you do not want in your nice corvette, muscle car I can deal with it, but I like my vette drone free.
