Question Borla and auto 8

Hi guys:

Anyone out there have an auto 8 with a Borla exhaust? I am curious if you have any fitment problems if you do have one. I have a chance to purchase a used one for cheap and wanted to know if anyone knows if they fit with no issues. Please let me know.

Thanks...

Some of the first generation Borlas come a bit close to the heat shield and can rattle, but that can be fairly easily remedied. Other than that, it's a fairly easy bolt in and fits perfectly.

I say GO FOR IT man, you'll LOVE the sound of the Borla! I've had one on my car for over a year now, and there is no way I could live without it. Don't expect a tangible performance gain from ANY exhaust, but the sound alone is worth it! Hope this helps.

Considering I have to purchase the 90° elbow and right muffler tip (for which I have no idea on what it costs as I'm waiting for Borla to get back to me), the muffler is being sold for less than half the cost of a new one. :p
