Default My New Borla Exhaust=) Nice Deal too

Well , it's here, or more like 1/2 of it is here since UPS split the 2 package shipment, delivered one this morning and it's 11PM and the other one is not here yet......which is just more proof that UPS sucks.





It looks real solid. Stainless steel is definitely and upgrade to the stock unit. I'm really itching to put this thing in and start putting the car together since I have the rear axle out of the car due to the differential issue.


Did I mention I got it for $550 (with tax it might be more) shipped and it is brand new? That's more than 1/2 price from what Mina wants for the same thing. I don't know if I can post it here but PM me for info if anyone wants one (I know they have a few left). It's made to fit 99-00 but from what I know it can easily fit the later years x308 since only the part that attaches to the cats is different and can easily be fabricated by a muffler shop.

I'm in no way affiliated with whom I purchased this from, but I promised to spread the word since it's a hell of a deal.

I'll take some pics and a vid once I slap it on.

That sounds exactly like a Blue Flame system - almost stock sound.

Here's mine, Paramount Performance catback - snap crackle and pop.

About to install these Mikalor SS clamps, they originally fitted plated, I had to grind them off, mugs.
