Flowmaster vs. Borla

[Xplor]

I've had both the flowmaster and borla exaust for my '92. The do both have the same tone and performance I think, but the borla has a smoothier sound at the lower speeds. As for the Flowmaster all sound but low and high speeds. I had the flowmater first, for about 2 years, I've had my Oxygen sensor code to come on and replaced it. which seem to run fine after that, the check engine light came one once. But ran fine. then I've decided to purchase the borla and like it better and engine seem to like it better, since there was no problem codes.

hey what did you do to stop the Check Engine light.

Good choice. I have a borla as well. At idle and low speeds it sounds nice. wide open throttle sounds nice too. plus the exhaust is made out of t-304 aircraft aluminum. gotta love that!

i thought borla was stainless steel?

here, this is quoted from their site just to clear things up

BORLA exhaust is built of aircraft-quality T-304 stainless steel -- stainless inside and out, not mild steel, not aluminum, not coated aluminum, not just wrapped with stainless on the outside for show. Coating techniques, such as aluminizing, can somewhat prolong the life of mild steel, but coatings suffer at the weld points. And, comparing aluminized steel to T-304 stainless steel is like comparing gold-plated metal to solid gold! T-304 stainless steel has the highest chromium content, making it the most resistant to corrosion and therefore the most desirable material for a long-lasting exhaust system. Note: Only the flanges are not stainless. In our twenty-year experience, we have found the 3/8"--1/2" flanges are so thick they will never affect the performance or longevity of the system.
