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.

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.

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

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...

$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.
