I may just say........."Hey baby, it is finally broken in. "

I also am going to paint the muffler black to match the stock muffler. Summit has the Borla on backorder so it will be least 2 weeks for it to come in my installer. I anxious to hear what it sound like in person because this seems like a cheap way to pick up power without any radical mods that screw up the warranty.

Borla Exhaust
Thanks guys for your input about wives and noticing the new exhaust. My wife is very observant and that is why I am going to paint it black so when she drives up to the garage she won’t immediately see a difference. I am glad also that the sound isn’t that much different, Thanks again

Are you talking about painting the muffler section, don't worry about it she would have to be about a foot tall to see it. it's kinda tucked up underneath. The original want is much larger and visible.

Yeah, I'm starting to notice the rattle everynow and then, which I think is the H-pipe hitting the brace as well. I know they were concerned about this when installing, you could tell it was a snug fit. I thought they had it set so that it wouldn't. Oh well, guess I need to take it in.
For those with free time, put some Mother's Aluminum polish on the muffler. I know I know its hard to see, but you will know it's shiney!!!

OK, what exactly do you mean when you say "the borlas sound great"?
Do you mean "great" as in:
a) whirRRrRRRRrrrrr ricey civic
b) VROOOOOOOOOM red neck mustang
or c) a powerful humming during acceleration and NOT at idle (the way a Z should always sound)
I've been thinking about getting the Borlas but I need some assurance that they're not a or b. Some sound samples (wav) would be great.

WOW
First of all, I'm wondering if all you pansies worried about your wife had the car bought for you by her mother or something...
LOL!! sorry, 'nuff of that!
The Borlas make the Z sound like a european performance machine... Like a hot BMW or tuned-out Maserati !
They are NOT loud. You can FEEL it slightly more inside the car but it is definitely not obtrusive.
