i said that.
and what do they not understand about their own exhausts?

 

Ah yes, it was you. Yeah Borla said they only offer straight pipes and u-bend pipes, all stainless, and that they have no idea what this guy is using. This was a response from Borla sales:

 

who cares. Borla pipes and regular pipes are the exact same thing. just worry about getting the borla muffler.

 

well seems to be that the kid bought the cat-back exhaust and not the true dual. THEN changed some parts? sounds expensive to buy it then buy more, but u never know what he was trying.

he couldve bought the cat-back exhaust, then wanted to change it later on, and did so.

 

ok well i should receive the borla muffler in a few days, and i'll call the mufreesboro exhaust place and ask them if I can email them the diagram of Sebastian's car.

 

so your gonna try the setup?

 

i think there's a video of an s2k like this where they sped up the sound. it sounds sick as hell. just like an f1 car, but from what i heard, they sped up the sound to make it sound like that.

there ya go. listen to the tire squeal when he's doing the 360's at about 1:55. sounds waay high pitched.

 

so what? what's the status on the custom borla?

 

they sent me the wrong muffler

 

what's the part #?

 

40474 is what it says on the invoice in the box.

 

that's the same muffler I got. you were gonna go for a 2-1/4" outlet?

 

nope. I confirmed over the phone with them that I was ordering a 3" inlet to dual 2.5 inch outs, and then I received 2-1/4" inlet with a 3" and 2-1/4" outs.

wtf lol

 

that's weird. lol.

 

I totally forgot about this thread. What's the scoops? Im thinking about just forgetting the whole custom piping set-up, and leaving my borla muffler replacement on and just getting HFC's.

 

i really want to hear someone else do it and see if it will be successful so i can make a decision

 

Well, Phenforum, what's the haps? Its been a long time since the last time you replied. Did you get the right muffler? Installed with custom set-up? There's a few people who want to try it if you got good reviews.

 

I guess the whole idea died.

 

Well, I was gonna get high flow cats today, but the guy couldn't do it because the way the stock cat is designed, you need one that's specifically made for the Z. I wanted to have something done today, so I got a 2.5" piping done from the y-pipe back to the Borla XS muffler and it was only a $100 and 20min of wait. You know the crazy screaming exhaust sound? Just from the y-pipe back custom Borla exhaust, I got the same sound but softer. If I added some high flow cats, Im pretty sure I could get close to it. Im loving it so far.

 

Sorry I let you guys down on this project. I was really discouraged after I found out that the guy who made the videos sped them up to make it sound like it revved higher. Then after I was sent the wrong XS muffler (transverse instead of regular) I said **** it and decided to wait and go FI with Forged.

But I'm still interested to hear how yours turns out. Can you possibly post a video on youtube? I'm glad it was quick and affordable for you. Enjoy!
