Default BORLA INSTALL PICS

Here's one of two pictures the shop took of
the installation of the Borla headers and exhaust.

The sound is AMAZING.

Thanks for the pics! Any idea on weight difference between stock and Borla?

The Borla is headers on back yes? Did away with the cats? or? Any chance you have a link to dyno before/after?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any answers!

Savy the stock cats are still on his car. Look in the 1st pic and you can see them tucked under the rear bumper....the brown things are the stock cats.

No, I don't know the weight differences.
Stock cats are still on the car.
And, I have no access to a dyno.
I'm trying to find someone with a camcorder so
I can post sound clips on YouTube.

Mr. B, my son-in-law lives in Falls Church and has a nice HD video cam. Let me know if you'd like me to put you guys in touch.

I think they do.
Something like a 26 HP increase.
Not sure what the exact no. is, but it's good.

Default SOUND CLIPS

I found someone to help with the sound clips, so that should happen this weekend.

In the meanwhile, I got a chance to put a bunch of miles on the car and listen to the sound.
If you ever had a Borla, you know they produce the sweetest sounds. It's not too loud. At highway speeds you can hear your stereo or have a conversation without raising your voice.

Hope this info will tide you over until you can hear the sound clips.

I can't wait to hear this bad boy. I have been looking for an aftermarket exhaust and am pretty much set on Fabspeed. However, if this sounds as great as their other exhausts, I am all for saving some coin.

Mr. B - Were you ever on the Acurazine forums? Your username is very familiar.

Hopefully, today is the day we do the sound clips.
No, I was never on the Acurazine forums.

Any update on the sound clips, Mr. B? I'm interested in the Borla and am looking forward to hearing yours.
