Does anyone have any advice on changing the exhaust system on my 2001. I have seen cars listed with the Borla Exhaust but the Borla web site does not list the Prowler. Is the Borla louder than the stock exhaust? What about other manufacturers or a local custom exhaust shops? |

In answer to the question about which is louder, you'll get a multitude of opinions. Both my cats have the Borla Prowler exhausts and I love them. They are louder and throatier than the stock exhausts, but not so loud that they become obnoxious......unless you like obnoxious!  We took both of mine to a muffler shop we knew and had them change them. Cost us about $70 each......it was worth it!  ------------------ Classic/Beautiful - I'm referring to the Cat of course! |

Chas, another alternative is the SSS muffler which Mr. Jay Harris from the Shimmers co. developed especially for the Prowler - we got this muffler on both our cats and love it. (Go to the 'search' link on top of this page in the right hand corner and enter "SSS muffler" to read more about it) Others put straight pipes on it, others used glaspacks, I guess it really comes down to what sound it is your looking for ! |

I'd suggest you attend a POA event and listen to all the various exhausts. Exhaust sound is a lot like music - different people like different sounds. 18" glass packs is an inexpensive way to get a throatier sound. The Borla system and SSS mufflers give a deeper sound. The exhaust tips will change the sound also. |

I agree with Rich, I have 18'' cherry bombs and the sound is super. Not so loud that you can't hear yourself think but considerably louder than stock. It really sounds like it has some real grunt to it. Barry  |

Chas, I put on Jay's SSS about 2 months ago. The single best MOD done so far. Just the right blend of sounds. Easy to install, even for a "non mechanic". Jay will give you all the help you need.  |

Thanks for all your input. I have seen the Borla exhaust on e-bay before. There is a local shop that is a Borla distributor and installer. Mike's Corvette in Plymouth. They also have a place in California. I am going to the Exotic Car Show in Manchester, NH on Saturday. I will see if there are any Prowlers there with the Borla setup so I can listen. I will also call SSS. Thanks again |

There are two types of Borlas, just to add to your confusion. One has chrome tips with an cat etched on them, the other has black carbon fiber tips. They look much different but I believe the sound is fairly close. I have straight pipes on the 99 and have a Borla system I am probably going to install one of these days on the 2002. |
