Borla Adjustable Sound Cat-Back Exhaust System with Quad Square Polished Intercooled Tips (14555) - 1995-1997 Chevrolet Camaro & Pontiac Firebird / Trans Am 5.7L V8 LT1
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your classic 4th-gen F-Body with the high-impact Borla Adjustable Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for mid-1995 to 1997 Chevrolet Camaro (Z28, SS) and Pontiac Firebird (Formula, Trans Am) models equipped with the legendary 5.7L Gen II LT1 V8 engine and dual catalytic converters, this premium exhaust upgrade introduces a legendary asset unique to the industry: a fully customizable, mechanical adjustable sound level configuration. By utilizing an engineered internal bypass setup alongside an interchangeable block-off plate system included with the kit, driving enthusiasts can swap tuning plates to control sound pressure levels (SPL). This design allows you to transition seamlessly from a street-civilized note to an ultra-aggressive, wide-open track roar, tailoring your muscle car's presence to your absolute taste.
The internal engineering of the Borla 14555 targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency single 3-inch performance layout. The design features a smooth 3-inch mandrel-bent primary pipeline that optimizes structural routing under the F-Body chassis. At its core, this assembly features Borla's patented straight-through multi-core muffler technology, which increases exhaust gas velocity and scavenging efficiency to unlock hidden horsepower, sharper throttle response, and enhanced power delivery. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable cat-back assembly defends permanently against structural degradation, intense under-car heat cycling, and track use. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fitment, this system utilizes existing factory mounting positions and is backed by Borla's legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Polished Intercooled Quad Square Tip Styling: This premium dual-exit kit updates the rear profile of your Camaro or Trans Am with dual 3.38-inch by 3-inch "square" angle-cut polished T-304 stainless steel exhaust tips on each tailpipe location. Featuring an advanced intercooled dual-wall design that dissipates thermal energy efficiently, these quad-exit square tips provide a sharp, period-correct performance accent that integrates cleanly beneath the aggressive rear fascia lines of your F-Body vehicle.
Catalytic Converter Fitment Guideline Note: This exhaust kit is specifically optimized to fit General Motors vehicle platforms delivered from mid-1995 through 1997 outfitted with factory dual catalytic converters. For early-production 1995 F-Body models manufactured with a single catalytic converter layout, please refer to Borla system part number 144464 for correct architectural compatibility.
