Well I finally found the exhuast that works for me. :smile:

Borla....Borla...Borla!!!!!

It was there all along...

I should have chosen door #3

Nice sound...great tips...."feels" faster...

It's a bit louder than stock....

NO DRONE!!!!!!!

It was a bargain @ $575

Peace,
D

Dennis,
So glad you finally found one that suits you! I have the Cooper Borla and love it, for all the same reasons (except "tip" is singular

)!

Chris

Mine's been on for 500 miles or so now, and the car is quicker now than it was when it first went on... it's also somewhat quieter and smoother sounding.

Yeah, I love mine too. I was a little disappoint at first but after a few 100 miles and a hard run down at great twisty road (FM-455), its really changed its tone and feel a lot better.

If the group by is closed you may want to check out http://www.flowfaster.com. They have it for $600. This is a local guy (Plano TX) that I bought mine from.

Please tell me that at the very least the vaporware UUC system is not in the mix.

Howdy D,

I'm curious about one thing. What was your primary reason for getting a new exhaust, the performance gain or the more agressive sound of the exhaust?

In my case, 5 HP isn't all that much, but I just like the sound of the Borla.

See ya,
JS

JS,
Well :smile:
My reasons for getting the exhaust were as follows:
-After trying both the Magnaflow & Quicksilver...I was on a crusade to find one..that I actually could live with. IMHO its the best compromise of HPgains vs. drone/loudness.
-The price was right @$575...
-I do like the sound...as well :smile:.

I'm goin for the ECU next.... then I think I'll rest for a bit.
maybe....kinda...sorta...

NAH :smile:

Peace,
D
