OK guys here the deal. If we can get 5 or more that want the "race" borla system, they have agreed to open a group buy at the same price of $575 plus shipping. Please post here if you want to get the "race" system. I will contact them as soon as I see we can hit that quota.

The group by for the "regular" borla system is still on. It will close after 5 system are sold, BUT if there is a large demand for more then 5 then they will open another group by up.

I'll try but I think it may be too late. That was a few days ago and they were out so they said they would fax the order directly to Borla for them to drop ship. That means Borla has the ball.

I would, but I cannot find any data on the Borla "Race" exhaust compared to the normal Borla one.

There really isn't any. It is the same dual tip design 2 1/4" piping. However, it uses two much smaller mufflers than the regular borla. It SHOULD be less restrictive but who knows. There are no sounds clips (it is said to be much louder than reg borla) and no data. No one has dynoed it i believe.

It is possible that the HP gains MIGHT be higher end b/c it is designed as a RACE exhaust and high rpms are what racing is all about. So I don't know that it'll be any better as a street exhaust than the reg borla. It COULD possibly be slightly worse. I wish there was more info on this.

Re: Magnaflow

My understanding is Magnaflow is the best sounding, but has the smallest HP gain out of all exhausts for the MCS

What?
Magnaflow has the smallest HP gain of all the exhaust systems?
I thought it was the best at 13HP
According to Randy tests:
the Borla was at 7-9 HP
the Quicksilver was between 8 - 13 HP
Magnaflow was between 10-15 HP

But we need to know more about the Borla S. There could be as much as 5 or so HP difference. That is a big difference if you think about spending another $200 or more on an intake just to equal the Magnaflow.

I think it is the same, just louder and more agressive...I think it is worth it for $575...

Thanks, but I'll wait. The prices can only go down over time. And the number of choices of exhaust types can anly go up, one might say, almost to the point the choices might become exhaustive.

Here is what I know for my research.

Megaflow is the loudest and produces the most HP
Borla "race" is almost a loud as the megaflow but not as much hp as the megaflow but more hp then the regular borla.

The regular borla is one of the quietest system but its louder then stock.

Not according to Davebret, Minimadness...They used race borlas on their Car and Driver challenge Mini....BTW, it's not spelled "Megaflow"

I'm interested in the group buy for the Borla "race" system--which doesn't seem to be online at Husker yet. I'm surprised nobody has dyno/HP numbers for the new Borla, though--does anyone have any more information (ie, "real numbers&quot?
