G35 coupe Borla owners

Would you recommend it and if you had to choose an exhaust again would you still get Borla or another brand?

For the AT guys any drone?

Do I qualify, my second exhaust was a Borla? My opinion, the Borla exhaust
isn't close to most systems in fit, quality or sound. HKS, Stillen or F1 make
high quality great sounding systems....Borla not even close!

Wow..that is the feedback I was looking for! That is too bad as I had Borla on my mustang and on my tundra and loved the sound...so I guess I will not be looking for Borla anymore...

What exhausts have you used? I am looking for the best performance without drone or obnoxiously loud....

What do you think of the exhaust and what made you chose Borla over the others?

i told you man Borla is not a good choice... Go with Stillen or Fast Intentions

Fast Intentions will have little drone around 3000rpm if you are 5AT

Hmm..don't remember that one..sorry! Can you refresh my memory as to why Borla is not a good choice?

I am a 5AT...and I hate drone...

I am on page 7 of reading about exhausts..

FI told me not to use the Invidia exhaust if I am looking for performance..any ideas as to why?

There are so many choices...they all seem to be aroud $1000, except for the Invidia which is $799 shipped on sale...

I know this thread is probably dead, but I'm trolling around for an exhaust. The Invidia exhausts seem to be small diameter (50-60mm). That may have some impact on the performance of their systems
