have it done. it sounds great when you get on it. deep, throaty, and gives you a slight kick in the ass in top rec curve. i love it and best of all when idling it sounds almost factory except for the pops

Sounds kinda like the B&B as well.

When I first installed mine, I was able to get pops easily. Now after about 3 days and about 200 miles, the pops don't come unless I'm high in the rpms, then dropping the rpms before shifting.

The Borla takes a while to settle in. There are some days that it just pops all of the time.

I have now driven it another 100 miles, and it doesn't pop or burble at all anymore unless I rev it up to 7000+ rpms then let it drop down to 5000 or lower.

Would the 98 degree weather be causing this?

Okay, where do I go to listen to the sound track of the Borla exhaust system? How does it compare with the system that is produced by Racing Beat or even Mazda Speed? Is the quality good? Is there a warranty on the system and what is the cost? Looking for some real honest answers before I make any purchase. Thanks, guys!

Jason made a few awesomevideos of it here

I mightbuy one of these oneday if the price ever goes below $500

I picked up my Borla 140078 for only $638.91. Here's the link: http://www.fasterthanthem.com/produc...id=4606086?tw2

3 years, 2 weeks.

i think this might be a record.

btw, enjoy the exhaust. it is a good one..


beers :beer:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :spank:

yeah.. funny.

the price of steel went up, so anyone waiting for it to drop below $500 never would have bought it. What's a borla go for new these days? $700?

yep,

crazy.

beers :beer:

lol but good call on that exhaust. thats a good store

I just got the borla on Tuesday and installed last night. won't be able to fully test it until the end of March thou (car is stored for winter).

It sounds great thou!!

So is the best option still the Borla paired with a B&B Catless midpipe for those who have no legal limitations where that is concerned?

I am still undecided, the HKS and Borla sound more or less the same to me, which si deeper? I want the deepest richest sounding one and the HP Gains as well...

20+ Pages and still undecided, I am ashamed of my noobness... :)

I've owned the borla, the hks legamax, and the hks hi power.

the borla is the deepest sounding. But it's also quite a bit louder than the legamax. The legamax has the nice situation of having a nice note on the throttle, but quiet otherwise.

the hi power is the loudest, but it's not deep at all, it's just noisy and sounds like a civic with a hole in the muffler.

so pick whatever fits your needs best.

Which one you got now...

and were any of them noticeable HP gains?

legamax now. no way to tell if there are gains because the dyno done with the borla had a smaller turbo then now with the legamax.

Hey

Where did you find a borla for 515?

Thanks!
