Is Borla planning on releasing any dyno results/graphs?

Yes. They asked permission to dyno my car with the new rear exhaust, and then with the race only midpipe that is currently under development. They had my car for 3 days this wee and want it back again next week to complete the midpipe.

VERY soon. I picked my car back up this afternoon with an actual production version of the rear exhaust. The prototype just had temporary welds. This one as beautiful welds around all the pipes. I took a few pics with my new Sony A700 camera this afternoon. Check them out below.

Looks great! Please post out of car videos so we can get a sense of what it sounds like from outside.

Any word on this system yet?

Yup. There are 4 sitting in boxes and just awaiting the internal paperwork to be done. We could be good to go later this week or maybe next week.

On a side note, I found out the Borla system weighs 34#, including the connecting pipes. We weighed my stock exhaust and it was 55#, so the total savings will be 21#!!!

I have pics on the car, but not of the system. I should have something to show in the next couple of days.

I'll post more info as soon as it is available.

No dyno numbers are available yet. My car is at Borla this week for further development of the race midpipe.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if the stock system weighs 44lbs and the borla is 34 (including connecting pipes), how do you get a weight savings of 21? Unless the 44lbs is just the stock muffler and the stock connecting pipes are an additional 11lbs?

Good catch of my typo. The stock exhaust weighs 55#. I missed by one key to the left. 55-34=21

Thanks for the heads up. Original post has been corrected.

One of the systems is spoken for. You can place a pre-order to reserve on of the 3 remaining here. Your card will not be charged until we are ready to ship.

Very interested in this system but need to see/hear video of exhaust from outside the car please.

+1

Any new info on the sedan version?

Aussie7 · 12-03-2008, 06:37 PM

also interested in the sedan version, looks like the tips are welded off the muffler a bit so it may be as simple as cutting the piping coming of the muffler and then welding the tips on so they are the correct length for the sedan

boostedtwin · 12-03-2008, 09:14 PM

Is it possible to get a vid from outside the car? I had a borla on my Cayman S and the sound was very nice but had lots of drone between 2-3k rpm zone.

I've been meaning to do this for a couple of weeks and just haven't found the time. I will have the car back late today and will do a video outside the car ASAP. There are still 3 systems available, and I just got word that I can pick them up.

DON'T WAIT IF YOU WANT ONE. PLACE AN ORDER ONLINE NOW!!

boostedtwin · 12-04-2008, 07:10 PM

I'm ready to pull the trigger as soon as I watch your vid from outside the car. Go outside and do it. All 3 will be sold quick.

noxredna · 12-06-2008, 07:06 PM

I'm in as well as soon as I get the videos from the outside and some fly by if possible.

Bob@BPS · 12-06-2008, 11:52 PM

Hi Guys,

I created a video today of the Borla exhaust on my E92 M3. My thanks to my friend Michael (Mastek on the M3forum) for acting as camera operator. Your comments are welcome.
