Borla Exhaust Available NOW!

DISCLAIMER - I am in NO WAY affiliated with any retailers or sellers of this product!

Just wanted to let you all know (we say "y'all" in Texas) - I just placed an on-line order for the Borla T-304 SS cat-back exhaust system from their on-line store.

Part Number, for those interested, would be 140078.

Do a search on "Auto", then pick the car model, type, etc. You'll find it.

Can not quote prices, etc. to prevent deletion of this thread, but it is reasonable.

Pics when installed - they say 2-4 weeks UNLESS BACKORDERED - we'll see.

Being while since grammar lessons but isn't you both a singular and plural pronoun. Never understood the need to add an "all" to designate plural.


Anyways, love to see pics and before/after dyno results.

You are correct, sir (see, I CAN do it). It (apparently) was a vain attempt at levity...................

Anyway, as I said, I will provide all info when available.

What Tim neglected to point out is that "y'all" is singular! The plural is "all y'all" - ask any Texan.

Edit: fixed a typo.

Cool...let us know how it sounds, the stock exhaust is way too quiet. Then again I don't want the "angry-bumblebee-Civic" sound, esp. not for the money they're charging hehe.

Better yet, do you ever get out to Stafford or the 610/290 area?

Being the owner of 2 Borla systems (one on an '89 V6 SHO, the other on a '01 Audi S4) I can tell you that the sound is deep and full (SHO V6 sounds like a Porsche flat 6) but does not drone at highway speeds. During normal driving it is quite unobtrusive but if you dip into the power you will attract some attention (though in the SHO the attention is rarely paid to the right car as no one expects a grey Taurus to be making such sounds). I have never heard a Borla sound "buzzy."

I am not in Stafford very often, but I go through the intersection of 610 and 290 every day on the way to work (around 5:15am) and on the weekends.

I live out 290 - at Jones Road. I'll let everyone know when it's installed (the DAY it arrives). It would be GREAT if it could be here before the meet on the 21st.

The Borla exhaust(s) I have heard, mostly on Miata's, has always sounded great. I just couldn't go with the "pimp" tip (a little carbon fiber looking band around the tip). The RX-8 one looks much better.

How long can it take?

More to the point, HE made the offer. I actually have given him my money (Borla has always made great products, and I trust this will be another one), but I would like to know......
