I have not heard a Borla system on a Chevy truck yet, however Borla is one of the best.

my opinion is its just like a flowmaster.. but it has a buncha poping.. which i think makes it sound like total crap. i'd say youtube a exhaust befor you buy it. i bought my super 44 a week after it came out it doesnt have any to almost no popping. i did youtube a few borla exhausts because i was going to change mine. but they do sound badass on a vette. but nothing else and i dont know why. they dont pop on a vette.

No popping here. Nice sound, no obnoxious cab drone. Happy with mine on the 07 Classic.

Its a top end brand but how much of that is marketing? Not sure

All the borlas I've heard have been real deep and throaty. They sound good, but I haven't run into one on a fullsize truck yet. Me and a couple buddies of mine all have flowmasters. I would follow gotstylez's advice and see if you can find videos of borlas on a fullsize before buying. It all just depends on what kind of sound you're looking for.

I have a Borla system on my 1989 C1500 sport truck. There worth every penny. Beautifully made if you can edsay that about an exhaust system, and makes a really nice rumble with the 350. I was initially a little concerned when I looked into one end of the muffler, and could see out the other side, but it sounds beautiful!

you cant really get an idea of how an exhaust sounds off of youtube because that depends on the video quality of the camera, borla is notorious for being the best exhaust out there, and i have a friend with an 04 seirra with the LQ9 in it with borla and it sounds great
