Borla Exhausts In PDX
 
Just curious who would be interested in getting a good deal on a borla. I have heard the going rate is 1200.00 for labor and equipment around portland. I got mine done for a fraction of the price. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

You can also get other parts and work done. The shop is awesome and very easy to get along with.

I wanna know!!! I sent you a PM because I am unaware of the degree to which we may discuss vendor on these boards.

zoom44 05-20-2004 04:54 PM

unless it's his shop and he is advertising a special he is offering it can be discussed here. anytime you find a cheaper/better vendor for something in this area it's ok to talk about it. as long as you aren't on that vendors payroll.

i am not on any payroll.. that would be great though. i just wanted to spread the news about an 800.00 borla installed...

Thanks Zoom44!

1Hot8 - You heard the man - we can discuss shops in town. Would you care to post pics of your install and perhaps tell us of the job(s) had done?

1hot8 05-20-2004 06:41 PM

Yeah I dont mind at all I will try to get some pictures of it. All I have currently done is the borla, I will get some eibach springs and a K&N done next month, and some tinting.... All from the same shop, all very cheap.

lambic 05-21-2004 02:41 PM

OK... So are you going to tell us the name of the shop, or not? :)

1hot8 05-21-2004 02:50 PM

Oh yeah sorry it is H&M motorsports in beaverton the number is 5038199678. Ask for nathan. Tell him that you talked to Troy and he will get you a better price...

Here you go, these were taken with verizon camera phone, so the quality isnt as good as a digital camera.

Thanks for posting the pics Troy! How would you describe the change in sound? Is it lower, deeper, higher, louder, softer? I thought I saw links to sound clips somewhere on the boards, but I can't recall where. Tell us your opinion.

1hot8 05-21-2004 04:45 PM

It sounds awesome. Much lower, not rice rocket loud, but very solid. Sounds super clean in 1st-3rd when i gas it... At an idle I not very loud which i prefer. Nice punch when you gas it, and left off the gas quickly. Low growl... As you can see it is hard to put in words... I think it is a 200% improvemnent over stock. Much lighter weight too...

Why would anyone ever go easy on the accelerator? ;) ;) I thought those were for stomping! :D

1hot8 - I live in Olympia up North in Washington. Is Beaverton in Portland?

mysql101 06-14-2004 12:16 PM

$1200 to install a borla?

The only tools you need are simple wrenches and two ramps for the rear wheels.

If you're low on cash, I've seen a few people selling their borlas on this board for $400-500. I got mine new from this board for $550 shipped.

1hot8 06-14-2004 12:32 PM

Yeah beaverton... It is a suburb of portland.
