I am getting mixed information on if the tips are oval or round with this catback system. Those of you that own it want to chime in?

Also, can you compare the sound to stock level?

Checkout Redcross gallery he has one.

 

right but i remember a discrempency, one person saying there's was round and another saying it was oval

 

Go to www.borla.com they have a couple of pics, both on and off the car.

The sound is louder but very easy to live with, not intrusive at all.

The car isn't that fast so you don't want a very loud exhaust, it'd look ridiculous.

 

160 mph+ isn't FAST!

 

I know what you mean, but Mexico City is at such high altitude that MANY small turbocharged cars costing half as much blow you away on acceleration.

Making a very loud exhaust sound while being blown away by a 1.8 liter turbocharged Seat Leon is very embarrasing.

 

Jimbo, in Florida got a "Prototype" BORLA that has round tips and a different resonator, but mine is the production version and it has oval tips.
Many of us wrote to BORLA requesting different tips and told them that we did not really want a round style.
We were sure they would not design a special tip but since the oval is used on other applications I guess that is why they chose them.
AND our voice may not have had anything to do with it but..............................
to my knowledge.....................ALL BORLA production cat-back systems have oval tips!!

Anyone considered replaceing the Cat Cnvrtr with a "high flow" Cat Cnvrtr?

My Borla has oval tips.

Weird... I ordered the Borla exhaust from moparsupercenter and my tips are round... just got it a few days ago.

 

What exactly is numbcheese?

 

Round is good!

 

maybe round is oval to others?

 

Yeah they look really good I think... though there is some gap where the exhaust sits that the old tips didnt have...

Overall, I am very, very pleased with it... the sounds is great too...

 

Don't look at that as a negative; you have changed the look and it will take a little getting use to.

There are three reasons to change the exhaust that I can think of offhand;

Improved sound

Improved performance

Appearance


I have listed in order of my priority with the first two being very close together. The third was somewhat a result of first two.

 

I like the original Tips because they're part of the rearend design.

Do you feel the $600 Borla mopar is better in performance and worth the bucks?

 

I dont know if you guys have noticed the tips on the c class mb's but two of those sitting side by side would be sick

 

roms, got any pics of the custom subwoofer system?

 

Personally, yes. It is pricey for a cat back... but its is very good quality (much better than the stock, it is very apparent) it sounds just perfect... not too loud, but sounds powerful, and there is an increase in power (not just psychological.... I can accelerate to a faster speed at the end of the onramp when I go to work then i could before... hehe but thats my only, non-scientific basis for saying this).

I do agree that the stock exhaust is part of the design of the rear of the car, but I'm very glad I payed for the Borla.

 

ME TOO!!!
If nothing but the sound and the personalization, it was worth it to ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
