Exclamation Borla Exhaust

Hey everyone Greg Weiss customer service manager for Borla Industries emailed me stating the exhaust will be released in about 30 days...I am anxious to see the final product and what performance gains will be made...stay tuned



Here is the excerpt from the email:

"We are in the process of finishing up the system for the IS-F. It should be ready for release in 30 days. At that time we will have a price."

I am guessing at least 15whp....Borla is claiming about 12whp for the IS350... Lets Wait and see.

Since SRT has released there cat back exhaust and claiming 10-15whp, I am wondering how Borla's system will compare? Any word from borla industries on a release date/details?

I emailed and asked specifically what sort of power increase we can expect. The email I got back stated to email back in 2-4 weeks BUT that I can expect a 5-7% increase. This is surprising as that would mean 18-25 rwhp on my car...hell, if I can get that, I'm buying the exhaust for sure.

You can expect an increase in horsepower and torque of 5 - 7%. We are still working out the price and part number, Please check back in 2 - 4 weeks.
