Borla Exhaust system installed during Carlisle

[mitchorama]

Got hooked into buying an exhaust system. The car next to me had his V6 done and it sounded good and price was reasonable. I got them to deduct $200.00 from price. There was a guy selling Borla mufflers for $500.00 new so I told Borla and they came back and gave me a discount.
I bought the "S" type and they sound good. On the way home though I notice hearing some noise and when I took a big bump it sounded like they bottom out. I will check it tomorrow and see if anything is loose. If I get those rattles cleared up I will be a happy camper. Take a look. Mitch

Figured they would get you to go for it. Even at $200 off they made money. How does it sound? Maybe hear them in person at Pirate Festival.

Sweet.................I have Borla on my Mustangs. Those Stingers are fantastic.

These mufflers are a little too loud for me. I may end up selling them. Someone said it takes a few weeks to break in. I hope that is the case.

Yes, there is a break in period. You should have no drone with them. Borla makes the exhausts for Ford Racing. Give them a little more time.Borla also makes a touring muffler as well.

I contacted Borla about my situation. Having a mechanic look at it Thursday.

Coincidentally, I actually saw your exhaust going in. Small world.
Or at least it looked like your car.
Too loud ??? whaaaaaat ..... Never too loud.
It'll break in....plus you'll get use to it.
Borla is awesome.

Might of been mine if it was around 3-4pm on Friday. The guy next to me in the Red section had his done earlier and got me hooked.

Next up is some Dynamat in the trunk.

Well I took the car in and they discovered that the driver side axleback was rubbing right up on my rear differential. You could see the indentations from the bumps it took. They were able to move it about a little. The passenger side was very close but not rubbing. They moved it out as best they could without doing any cutting. Doth side will need a little trim to make the mufflers be exactly even sticking out of the rear valance. All in all I am happy that they did find something wrong. I think what happen when they were installed we were checking that both mufflers were sticking out the same amount, but then forgot to check the clearance afterward. Well I will contact Borla tomorrow with the results. I have had to adjust my driving in town due to these being so loud. Must keep the RPM under 2000 or it gets noisy. Next up is some dymamat to do the truck with and check the sound levels in the Mustang. With these mufflers I am at 80dB inside the car and 74-75 dB when the car warms up. Compared to my Chrysler 300 I can not hear the exhaust in the cab.

I took off the mufflers yesterday. I had a spare set of Boss 302 mufflers to put on. They are much quieter. Now I do not have to baby it around my living area. I should have took them off right away and exchange them for the Touring model, but everyone I talked to really like the sound of them. Even the mechanic who did the work yesterday. I will keep them and maybe re-install them next year for the Ford Nationals coming here to Grand Island.

Touring is loud only when you really punch it. Borla overall is one of the loudest systems out there. My Atak is louder than Stinger. Have Atak on both my Mustangs. Still its all about preference. I used Ford Racing on my 3V 2010 GT.
