Borla Installed!!!!!

NPDAN · 07-14-2007, 07:23 PM

Alright, got the Borla Cat back installed today. It's sounds f'n great... Check back in a couple of hours and I'll have some sound and video of it....

Driver72 · 07-14-2007, 07:36 PM

Make sure the sound clips are from INSIDE the cabin.
Do some low rpm rolling starts (like 1500 rpms in 3rd gear then accelerate through to redline).

Also do a 2000 rpm "cruise" in 4th and one in 6th gear too.
See if there's any drone.

Thanks

SH*T mine is still in my living room! also my car is in the shop for somekind of missing part

cadbimmer · 07-16-2007, 06:45 PM

i was considering this exhaust as well so please get us some sound clips

Mr. 5 · 07-16-2007, 07:08 PM

I'm very interested in the sound as well.
The borlas that I've heard in the past are really loud.

cgnahc · 07-16-2007, 07:48 PM

I got it from HP Autowerks, I had it installed in thousand oaks at Competition Muffler. Nope, not welded...

I'll take all the video today and post up tonight.

Did you do any before and after dynos? Does it drone cruising between 85-95mph on the freeway? Do you live in LA county or OC county? If so, can I meet up with you? I ordered a borla exhaust, but I'm having second thoughts. I wanna hear it in person, the youtube videos might be off. If you didnt dyno, do you feel any power gains (butt dyno)?

I'm for sure laggin on getting video clips up... to answer your questions, I live in Thousand Oaks and work in Malibu, if you want to meet up. Zero droning and no I messed up by not doing the before and after Dyno's... Couldnt get a dyno done, being im the most impatient person and had an install appt the day after I received the exhaust... Yea I think I feel more power, but then again it may be mental.

montreal_bimmer · 07-18-2007, 11:49 PM

hip hip hooray for the borla.... congrats....

LOLrance · 07-19-2007, 12:34 AM

How do you like the exhaust so far? The complaint of borla has always been its too quiet.

NPDAN · 07-19-2007, 12:50 AM

I's a little quite. but I love it...

im not sure which system it is but it does sound mean.

The sole Borla sound clip on youtube (you know the one where the guy revs the engine like 27 times but does nothing else) sounds perfect too me.
It's not as loud as the other exhausts and that fits me perfectly.
Even if it's HP gains are 5 hp less than the others, I wouldn't want drone or an exhaust that's intrudes too much on the inside.

Waiting for those inside the cabin sound clips. Please.

kujo · 07-20-2007, 02:24 AM

it IS welded in though boys and girls.

this is NOT a direct bolt on.

You cut the pipes just after the 2ndary cats and weld it in.

I am leaning towards this system as well, for the sheer fact that it is the only one I've heard with no drone.

My system drones like crazy and I'm over it.

Chio · 07-20-2007, 10:44 AM

I will take pict this weekend but over all it is louder than stock and sounds very good almost M3ist. but deeper! I have to adjust it some but all in all very good
