Borla issue!

Today I pulled my Stillen dual exhaust off to put the Borla system on only to find that Borla had packaged my system wrong. I received two of one pipe and none of another so the car now sits with no exhaust on it. I just talked to Brett at LeBree Motorsports and he is kind enough to pull the parts out of one of the spare systems that he has. He is going to overnight the parts to me at his cost. I think that speaks very well of Brett!

On a side note - the Stillen system is MUCH better quality than the Borla. The pipe gauge is much heavier and the fit and finish is better too. The Borla comes in a lot more small pieces than the Stillen too. I sure hope this Borla sounds good because I'm getting tired of changing out systems!

Re: Borla issue!

Could PRICE possibly be a factor? $750 for the Borla while $1,100 for the Stillen? You could get the Borla Exhaust and Headers for a few hundred bucks more than the Stille Exhaust alone.....

Re: Borla issue!

Yes, but if you already have the Stillen, how much can you sell it for used? $750? Hmm...

Re: Borla issue!

It's not that I don't like the Stillen but I'm still looking for "just that right sound". That's the music to my old ears. I'm looking for a deeper, lower tone than the Stillen.
I loved the look of the Stillen system on my coupe. I hope the Borla looks as good!

Re: Borla issue!

Try using a Custom Flowmaster, It may look Like $h*t But it Sounds Good. I just purchased the One Jimthegreek was selling. It's a Dual Pipe X with Dual Resonators into A 80 Series Flowmaster Single Canister Dual In Dual out. From what I can Figure out It was Designed for the Last Camaro. I'm Very happy with the results. You can hear it if I'm at the Next Valley meet.......
