Finally got around to putting a Borla S-Type cat-back exhaust and a Borla X-Pipe on my 1999 C5 Corvette!! Honestly disappointed on fitment, however it sounds good! Thoughts!?

I did the Magnaflow cat back knockoff on my 04. It sounds nice not a bad deal for $349.00 hard to beat.
John, does the x-pipe cut down on drone noise in the interior? Thanks. Bill
@@williammckeldin921 I still had drone at roughly 2500-2700 RPM however the car was never in that rpm range for long. Otherwise it was pretty quiet. Highway cruising in 6th gear was real quick at it ride at around 1500 at 70mph.
Thank you, John.
Why the garbage music?
Music is subjective… I might hate the music you listen to as well 🤷🏻♀️
@@JohnWargo93it was shite music for sure
I just put that exact kit as well the K&N cold air intake on along with the 93 octane tune from my diablo sport tuner and im fairly happy with the results, just wish it was a little louder kinda going back and forth right now on high flow cats to make it a little louder....
Sounds great! Well worth the work. Stay safe and be well Bro!
Thank you, sir!!
I went with the magnaflow. I have the x pipe but I never put it on. I like the deep old school sound just the way it is. I think the x pipes make the sound Ferrarish. I dont know how else to describe the sound.
These sound great as a step above stock. But where it really shines is when you do cat-delete and cam. then it has a beautiful tone without being obnoxious like a lot of exhausts nowadays.
oh buddy does that exhaust sound so good!
I like it as well! Thank you, sir!
The car is looking great! Thanks for your honest opinion on the exhaust. I going to up-grade my c5 but I can not decide between Corsa, Borla or Billy Boat. I do not mind spending the $, I just want it to sound great and look good. I do not want an exhaust that the end tips will not be even, that would bother the heck out of me.
Yesss! Not sure if it’s just my set I got or whatnot… tons of guys on the Facebook groups are saying theirs fit great without any issues 🤷🏻♀️ I haven’t yet, but plan to reach out to Borla to see if they can help me at all.
John the car is looking amazing! Great job on the powder black tips! Sounds awesome man and looks incredible! Sorry about the fit I agree you’d think for 2k they would have done a primo job on manufacturing the exhaust. Keep the great work and vids. I can tell you’re loving that vette….so are your viewers! 👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Looks sexy with the black tips and sounds sexy. Hope you figure out the exhaust lineup, let us know. 👍
Thank you, sir! Will keep y'all updated for sure! Definitely not giving up the way they sit currently.
Great video! What’s the part number for that exhaust? How bad is the drone?
Thank you! Part #140038. Windows open it’s beautiful. Only annoying a bit with windows closed around 2500-3000 RPM.
sounds great, John! what a difference from when you first got the vette till now.
Right!? Thank you, sir!
Nice, John! Thanks for doing the comparison from old to the new Borla exhaust.
A much deeper and throatier sound which is why I put Borla exhaust on my Silverado (as a "grampa" I put on the Touring but it still sounds great - and no drone!).
Might be my tune as to why the sound isn't actually "grampa" mode on the touring set up I have.
Looks better, too!
Great vid!
Lol appreciate the support!

Where did you get your blacked out brake lights?

Think how good it will sound when you put in a cam and a tune. 👍
Yes that’s what I’m excited for too! Lol
The S type aka Stingers have drone. The S Type II has no drone. The Atak also doesn’t have drone.
Interesting 🤔 I definitely plan to do some sound detonating here soon!
Stingers drone big-time and they are annoyingly loud. I yanked them off and are currently running Magnaflow cat-back. I don't think these companies focus enough on tuning their exhaust to make it sound good. They just focus on being loud, Especially Borla, Billy Boat and Corsa. It's not hard to find what frequency the C5 engine starts to drone - it's between 2k and 3k RPMs. Even with the Magnaflow there is a drone. Above and below that range it sounds fine. Still looking for an exhaust the actually makes it sound better but stays relatively mild until you put your foot in it.
If it did not fit should have exchanged it.
Bought it like 3 months in advanced to trying to mount it.. no turning back here. Got it fixed here later on after I filmed this (fabricator friend) and got a refund check back from Borla after submitting the information to them in regards to what we had to do to make it fit correctly. All good now 👍🏼
We need more cummins content!!!!! Summer is here the er rip
Haha this is actually the last Vette video for a little while… Cummins content starting back next week!!
Add a bit of heat tape around the trunk
Bryan, I ended up having my fabricator buddy help out and get it to align properly. Had to rebend the axle pipe and reweld the muffler! I’m in talks with Borla now to see if any compensation can be sent for how poor the fitment was.
That Borla sounds great!!! 🔥
Thank you, sir! I’m enjoying it myself!
What a huge improvement over that stupid h pipe.
Agreed ☝🏼
@@JohnWargo93 that h pipe sounds so bad at idle idk how it got Approved
What happen to the TDI?
Sold her back in October or so.. we have an Audi TDI Q7 now that replaced it.
Should've went with Corsa! 😃
