In-car Video of Borla Prototype Exhaust for E9X M3
Hi Guys,
I have a prototype of the new Borla E92/E90 M3 exhaust on my personal car. Those of you that might not be familar with my relationship with Borla, I'm the guy that got them to make the E46 M3 midpipe (part #60090) back in 2006. They used my old E46 M3 for R&D for both the original version and the new V2. IMO that is and has been the best sounding, most cost effective option for eliminating rasp on the E46 M3 and we have sold hundreds of them. So, when the opportunity presented itself to test the new E92/E90 M3 exhaust I jumped at the opportunity. I promised not to devulge specific info I know about the design, but I can tell you a few of the important features:
I do not have an exact release date or price yet, but I will post info as soon as it becomes available. Check out the video here. Below are some static pics on my car. Bob |

Borla E92 M3
Hi guys,
Are you on a PC? You might need the Quicktime plug-in. I do 90%+ of my work on a Mac and use a PC just for a few business applications. I'll test it on a PC to see if the link works for me. Works perfectly on a Mac. Quote:

Will Borla being make one fitment for both coupes and sedans? Not many options right now for sedan owners who actually want an exhaust that fits correctly instead of putting a coupe exhaust on.

E90 M3 Exhausts
Quote:
No, I can't speak for them, but I'm sure there will be specific fitments for both coupe AND sedan. That is how Borla did it with the 335 exhaust and I'm sure you'll have something made specifically for your sedan. While I was at the Borla R&D I there was an E90 M3 there, too. Amazingly enough, the E90 sedan is shorter than the coupe. If you put a coupe exhaust on a sedan, the tips will stick out 3/4" or more. I personally believe THAT is the reason many manufacturers are making a muffler only system that requires you cut off your stock exhaust. By FORCING you to cut off your muffler, they are alleviating the necessity for the manufacturer to make TWO sets of different length connecting pipes. Theoretically, not providing connecting pipes should reduce the price. Personally, I'm not willing to cut my stock exhaust. Bob |

Borla questions
Quote:
I'm not sure I can disclose the pipe diameter yet. Drone is not bad. You can hear the exhaust while cruising, but it's not bad. It's definitely louder than stock in the car. Borla wanted to make sure it didn't fall in the "why bother" category by not making it loud enough. Everyone at the 805 meet (as in area code 805) liked the sound and the looks of the tips. It hasn't been dynoed yet, but my butt dyno tells me the aFe filter and Borla exhaust make the car quicker. I'm sure I'll have more info for you after SEMA. Bob

Spoke with Borla yesterday...they released full retail pricing of the E92 M3 exhaust at $1475. They also mentioned they will begin working on a sedan fitment option in the beginning of next year. I am glad a few companies still have some idea of how to realistically price your basic catback exhaust system.
