Borla exhaust for 2008

Just got an email from Borla. I had contacted them to verify that their catback would fit my 08. They said that none had been in for a fitting to date, to contact them in 60-90 days. 08's have been out for more than a year? Anyone installed one on an 08? I have a 40th but assume it would be the same as a GT. Makes me wonder about the company.

Why would it be any different from the 04-07 models? Did I miss something?

Should be the same...The 09's have a new exhaust but i'm pretty sure the 08's are the same. I have the Borla and I love it! Good choice.

I put one on my 08. Bolted right in, no problems. Love the thing. Makes the car have a snarl/scream/rasp, yet is dead quiet at <65 MPH. Only problem it is more entertaining to listen to than the radio and can, therefore, affect your gas mileage. Let's go listen to REDLINE again!!
