Borla Exhaust (Race Version) 2004+ Cooper S

I just purchased a Borla Exhaust (Race Version) for my 06 MCS. I'm going to FLorida for a week so It'll be here waiting for me when I get back. (hopefully). Anyone have this sytem on their car? How's the install? easy, hard? and how's the sound and power? I've been dying to get an exhaust on my car ever since the day I picked it up. I've almost finished the break in period so I'll really be able to have some fun. I've heard the sound clips for practically all the different exhausts available and I definitly liked the borla. So i'm eager to get it on the car.

i love it. The install is pretty straight forward but the bolts that hold the resonator to the down pipe are extremely tight and when i did mine i had to go buy new exhaust bolts and nuts. By the way the sound is amazing no drone at all on the freeway

AstroBlackS, you might want to see Randy Webb's DIY guide for cat-backs - part of the instructions includes advice regarding a Borla Street (which is similar enough to the Race/Sport that you have). Report back and let us know how you enjoy it!

MISFIT, do you think you could make a sound clip of how the Borla Race/Sport sounds with your catless OBX header, once you've upgraded? Or perhaps if you attend any runs in the Bay Area, we can meet up (July or after, though, since I'm out of the country until then).
