New Borla

I was helping a friend out who is trading in his 2010 MCS for a new Countryman ALL4. In his shop office he had a large Borla box sitting in the corner under a pile of old Autosports and what not. Turns out it was an S-Type cat back and he never even opened it.

$600.00 and it was in my MINI. Put it on tonight and it sounds awesome! There was even a nice Borla Exhaust hat that my girlfriends 4 year loves and a few nice stickers too.

He had paid almost $1100.00 originally and I feel like I stole it.

The quality is fantastic, fitment was super easy and setup nice and straight. The tone is deep and throaty with no noticeable drone which surprised me bit. It is the S-Type and really isn't that aggressive. I'm loving it.

It comes to a roar when you remove the primary catt! I paid about $850 for the same Borla Exhaust and I got a hat to, roll the windows down and you'll hear it better.

I took a shot of the new Borla exhaust tips. I couldn't get a satisfactory sound clip that did the system any justice.
