Hope this doesnt happen to our systems. Looks like it happened to a couple of my350z.com members. Borla sent the wrong pipes with the exahust:

I doubt we will have the same problem since Borla is now aware of the issue.

As for a couple a day installations, I'm not too surprised. An installation takes about an hour and I understand Brent is very busy with Audis and WRXs who also have group buys in the works.

Next time I have a chance to speak with Brent, I'll mention the same side part problem and make sure we don't have to deal with it.

 

That's what I'm not sure about. He indicated it was a couple hour job, and that he does mostly custom work... Maybe he likes working half days??? Anyway, maybe another call to him might be helpful.

 

You know with:
1. Set of metric sockets
2. Four stands
3. Good floor jack
4. Torque wrench

you can probably do the entire install yourself and save yourself money + get the satisfaction of putting it in. it looks like a bolt on project w/ no special tools required.

I am #36 on the order list..hopefully I will see the exhaust in 2-3weeks..

 

no $hit?? #36?! wow... I'm impressed with how many have signed up for this group buy...


#8 here

 

please remove me from this group buy.

I already ordered mine today and will supposedly have it by next friday.

BTW-I PAID LESS THAN THIS GROUP BUY PRICE!

Interested?

Look Here!

 

If you haven't already done so, please let Brent know directly. He may not be reviewing this thread.

Glad to hear you saved $5.00.

 

FYI - It was much more than $5.00 (cant explain) but anyway Brent knows that I am not in the group buy any longer.

 

Okay man, best of luck to you.

 

Compilation of Borla Information

I've been getting a lot of PMs. So, here's the link to the dynos from Borla for exhaust, headers and exhaust + headers:

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ght=borla+dyno

I believe it was 24 hp gain for exhaust here. Webcarconnection claims 24.5 WHP and 15.6 TQ gain but is without a chart. Borla conservatively says 20+ hp gain but I suspect it's closer to the 25 we've been seeing and hearing about.

Sound clips are here:

It sounds good but I really need to hear in person.

As for the group buy, Brent said June 13, 2003 as the closing date. I understand that David wanted to get out 25 and we're over that already. I don't think he expected this kind of demand. But, seeing it's 10 months since release and no one has any significant engine modification yet, short of NO2, I'm not surprised demand is so high.

Regarding weight:

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=31885

Borla beat Stillen by 20 lbs, and stock by 6 lbs. Stillen has claimed a 13 hp gain but I have to date never seen a dyno for Stillen. Btw, Stillen has a negative rating with the BBB.

I'm sure more information will come in over the next 30 days but the above should provide you with enough information to make an educated decision.

 

Damn I'm tempted, but I'd really like to hear it in person first.

 

she looks great, can't cook has a terible temper but does compensate!

 

Spoke with Brent today at 12:35pm EST, and he told me 2 things.

1) They got the entire batch of them in, and he's going to go pick them up with several trucks today, and the rest probably tomorrow. So he expects to ship them out by early this week.

2) They will not have the "wrong pipe" problem. He's made sure of that.

Now the question is, ARE YOU READY?

 

I sure hope he ships them out in order that we called in... I'm #8 baby!

 

how many is entire batch? more than 25?

 

Getting my exahust installed this Saturday. Anyone else getting theirs installed Sat?

 

Not sure on the number, but if it takes several trucks to transport them over, I'd say its over 25.

 

APPOINTMENT AT 8 AM ON SATURDAY MORNING... this I can get out of bed for... no problem...

 

Damn MKZ...your doing the 8am Sat!!! Cool, that way by the time I get mine installed they will have done one already. WhooHoo...can't wait!!!
