Borla street/touring cat back exhaust 02-03 R53

Category: Brakes
Price: $625
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R53
Location (Region): SoCal
Item Condition: Used



The exhaust is currently still on my car and the picture is from before installation. Anyway, there's only about 2-3k miles total on the exhaust. Great sounding exhaust if you're looking for some extra volume but don't want to anger your neighbors. No highway drone at all in my experience. Asking $625. I would prefer to sell locally in SoCal. Thanks

P.S.

Please note this is for the pre-facelift R53 and the exhaust hanger will have to be modified if you want to use with facelift models.

I'm looking to either sell or trade for a Milltek system in similar condition. I would prefer to sell locally but can also ship at buyer's expense. Thanks

What didn't you like about the Borla?

There wasn't anything in particular that I didn't like. I just want to try something different. I'm thinking of trying the Milltek and see if it'll sound better with my current header.

Thanx fro the response, I purchased a new unit from a NAM user a few weeks ago, putting it on tomorrow, just wanted to hear what your thoughts were and why you were swapping it out, thanx

Good luck with your sale..

I think you're really going to like it. It's louder than stock but not overbearing. Has a deeper tone with more pops and burbles

Borla

I was hoping to install in on Saturday, but I guess the PO didn't want another exhaust put on it. The bolts connecting the exhaust pipe to the cat, were welded on. I have tons of tools, but nothing to deal with that. Taking Scarlet to a muffler shop tomorrow.

If you guys are looking for a Barry White exhaust, this is the one. It's deep, not loud and you won't sound like you're driving a sewing machine. I put mine on this week, no drone, pops a plenty...

Thanks for the bump, Gumbe . I'm glad you like the exhaust. It's an excellent system
