Its a 40 series. Everyone tells bad about them. But for a budget, it does just what it supposed to.

it doesn't sound all ricey, its cheap (I paid $70 for mine) and its quiet enough to easily bring the car below legal dB limits. Although, I did put a reversed glasspack on the end of mine though quiet a bit more. The glasspack actually gets rid of most of the highpitched noise that most people don't like about flowmaster.

I have no experience from racing beat (other than some very poor quality media files on the net like you can get any idea of what an exhaust sound slike from that).

Its not bad. I agree with anyone who could say it would be better with a RB system, but for a 5th the price, im not complaining!

well the borla setup is made to be a complete cat-back replacement that bolts up to your factory cat...or whatever you have in its place if you happen to have something like a racingbeat presilencer. it inclues y-pipe and 2 mufflers and is stainles steel.

the mufflers are cylindrical steel wool packed straight through design. i believe they actually have part numbers for the individual mufflers, but i don't have my original papers that came with it so i can't look that up. by asking which mufflers it had, i assumed you were asking about how they are constructed right?

i was actually hoping for part numbers. i would like to buy just the mufflers and fabricate the rest myself, but dont know the measurements for the stock mufflers offhand.
