There is hope, I checked with Borla and they will definetely be coming out with catback system, they are waitintg to get their hands on a car. If anyone lives near them maybe you can offer your car for review in exchange for a free system??? I have a Borla now on my car and love it.

The perfomance is claimed at 15+ HP, some people have quoted dyno increases of 20, so I guess we would be pretty close to the 300 with just this mod.

The borla is made of stainless steel with a million mile warranty. As for the price Borla quotes it at 750.00 but the parts suppliers typiocally sold it for around 550.00.

The sound is really nice, it gave it a throaty sound and sounded much more aggressive, there was another system by SLP that was around 300.00 but in the forums too many people complained that it was too loud. Installation was really easy, no welding just two clamps.

Here is a picture of the muffler:

Here is a picture of the system that Borla has for the 300ZXTT, it list at 932.00 so my guess would be around 750.00 from parts suppliers??? StrictlyZ has it for 900.00.

Here is Borla's address:

Borla Performance Industries
5901 Edison Drive
Oxnard CA 93033

Anybody near, it might be worth your time, I am sure there would be interest from members here for a system, I know I would.

I too have BORLA on my LEXUS (Japanese) and it looks, sounds, and works awesomely! They have been in the "exhaust game" for sometime now, and I trust them completely, not to mention they manufacture tons of exhaust for other vendors who re-badge them as their own!

I agree, I love mine and will definetly get it, like Txstyle says other rebadge them like Steeda for the Fords, it's a good product and also looks good, I want to avoid that 7" pipe look.

Default 350z in Sport Compact

Looks like they put a prototype mandrel bent exhaust on a 350Z and it LOST a few horse=P I know it was a prototype but it seems like nissan got the exhaust figured out pretty good already, probably not much power left to be made there

Oh, there's always a little bit of room for power gain; after all, we haven't seen what the likes of HKS, GReddy, Borla, Nismo and Blitz! are working on!
