Thumbs up Cat Back Exhaust Just Released by Borla

Borla has announced last Wednesday that they just released a cat back system for the Crossfire 2004/2005. I have been contacting them since I bought my Saphire 2004 Coupe last October. My friend told me they have systems for lots of cars. He had just got one for his 1998 Corvette. I ordered mine last Friday. Borla is the leading Stainless Steel exhaust developers for exhaust systems around the world. The purchase price is $799.95 plus $35.00 shipping to me in New Hampshire. My new car will have a growwwwwl of its own along with increased hp performanced. Add a couple K&N Air filters and you will be golden.

Is there a web site with performance data? I can't find anything on the Borla site.

If you are seeking a "LITTLE" more sound, as I am (hopefully it will be) this is going to be the way.
BUT.............If you are seeking a positive growl then check out the custom system I have for sale.

Better be a big discount... that be the day I drop $800 for a short piece of pipe and muffler... I have heard their setup on an Impala SS and its not deep rumble and by far from a "ricer" sound. Its more of a grumble...

I don't want it too noisy. If I have to drive 2 hours somewhere I'd have a headache when I got there!

Whats the difference between a grumble and a rumble? Its funny how people describe sounds.

Keep in mind, nomatter what you do, our 3.2 V6 will never sound as good as a 5.7 V8.

To me a grumble sound level is about the sound level your stomach has when your hungry.... you can hear it and so can people real close to you but other than that its pretty quiet.

Dan,

I called your buddy at borla and left a message. I told him that I was interested in the group buy and that I was interested in hearing it installed on your car. I left my name and home phone number with him.

Thanks for trying to get the rolling!

Ok I talked at length with my "friend " his words BORLA cannot discount their products because of the deals they make with distribritors like MOPAR Chrysler dealers can! So I suggest don't call BORLA direct unless you want to pay a higher PRICE! I even suggest that since it's taken so long to get it out wait a few weeks or only order from the mopar price !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm waiting to hear back from my dealer here .

I would agree with that. I had a Borla catback on my last vehicle. The direct price from Borla was $500. I found it at another dealer for $318. I wasn't very impressed with it, so I probably won't buy one for my Crossfire until I hear some good reviews first.

This does sound promising. If the price is right and Borla has managed to tame the V6 rasp, then I might be interested in this.

That's the word I was looking for.

4 Cylinder = Buzz
6 Cylinder = Rasp
8 Cylinder = Rumble
