Stock Rear-End?

Name calling is not going to happen again, do we understand? luciora was asking for advice and got some opinions and experiences. Not everybody agrees with other peoples opinions, that's fine. But keep comments like that to yourself, it's not necessary to spew crap.
Anyway, my take on the Borla system is it is overpriced, if you wind up running the thing wide open. At that point, you might as well just install a $10 straight pipe. The weight savings between a one-piece aluminum driveshaft over a one-piece steel shaft is 4 lbs. (I've had both and weighed them). Not worth the money spent imo, if you think it's going to give you tire smoking results. The savings is greater though going from a two-piece to one-piece steel shaft, so there it makes a difference.

Liberty rarely contributes to advice-seeking threads like this and I like many of the members on this forum get sick of his BS.

And because of that he's prejudged and automatically shot down. Points he brought up makes for good (friendly) argument/debate, which there was. If his actions makes you sick, then go and puke in your own toilet where neither I, nor anybody else can see it. I'm not defending nor offending any one person here. But I am defending the integrity of this site. Keep it civil.

You might want to take a closer look-see under the car. As of the 1999 model year, all V6 Camaros had one piece driveshafts.

Just because we don't spend $500 to $700 bucks on an exhaust that makes most of us V-6 owners cheap? You don't think I wouldn't want to spend more freely on my car? Just because he has the money to spend on his upgrades doesn't make it OK to say "most" V-6 owners are cheap! If he wants to buy me better upgrades for my car, I'll gladly give him my mailing address so he can mail me the money for future upgrades! I buy what I can afford, so don't call me cheap!

I was gonna say something to you about the name calling but changed my mind and forgot to go back and use Libertys remark. No biggie.
