Awesome stuff Bonz. Hey my wife was in the other room when I played the MPG and she said, "Great now you got the noise on your computer, you need help". I thought it was funny. Great sound clip I have it set up on my start up on my comp.

Here are the links to the Borla sound/video clips




This is of the Borla with the windows shut and easy acceleration:

This one is with the windows opened and easy acceleration:


http://www.philter.com/~tsunami/borla2.mpg


This one is with windows shut and punching it up to the rev limiter at WOT:


http://www.philter.com/~tsunami/borla3.mpg

Special thanks go out to TSUNAMI over at 350ZFrenzy for hosting these!


Tomorrow, I'll try to do one with the camera set up outside the car as it accelerates away from the camera (in response to several posters requests)

Stay tuned!

Here is the video of the Borla exhaust pulling away with the camera behind the car. Like how I blow the shift? My damn clutch got stuck under the mat that had slid down. Oh well, you get the idea. What do you think?

Thumbs up Best of Both Worlds-BORLA

Put mine on last week. All bones says I agree.
Nice mellow muscle car sound. Not too loud as to irritate you on highway runs.

Sorta reches out and grabs ya!

Dr. B,
Did you install it?

If so, was it relatively eary to access all bolts? I've intalled cat back exhausts, but haven't looked under car to see whats involved. I would guess it's a 30 minute job???

If you have a lift, it would be about and hour job for removal and installation. It takes a little fiddling to get everything lined up right with good clearances. If you go the jackstand route, add a little time to the install (some things aren't as easy to do lying on your back). If you want a DIY install how to, it's on Z Chickz -- click on the Garage button on the top. Borla video is also at the bottom of the page.

Not me! I'll leave the installation to the Chickz!

No, a local shop did it for $80.00 in about an hour.

Mine is definitely the dual and I am pretty sure Webcarconnection also has the dual.

It's a known fact that the Brickyard color resonates sound much better than the Redline and that may be the key factor here......


Seriously, they sound pretty close to me.

It has to do with acoustics and camera angle and the mic and a bunch of other things I'm sure.

This thread sold me on the Borla. Just a few questions. Do you have to reset the ECU after install? Will changing the exhaust void the warranty? GREAT CLIPS Doc.
