^That and just the general public's dislike of "fake" exhaust tips on performance cars. Look at any youtube video featuring an IS F that has a decent number of views and there will be somebody commenting on our exhaust diffusers.

Going forward, I don't think there will be as many high end vehicles with that type of setup.

The general public will always have an opinion about everything. People will always have something to gripe about so don't worry too much about it. I certainly don't waste my time thinking about what others think.

Head's up guys, for those who prefer the look of quad tips, we will be introducing a quad tip bolt-on retrofit to all existing Borla systems, very soon, so stay tuned:

Oh, and we will have a second option (if people express interest) ... we will call the "Bazooka Track System" I am finishing this up on Monday for demo, but basically it will allow you to bolt on straight pipes with single 4" double wall slash cut Magnaflow tips. It will be loud, but should sound sweet with the Borla given the Borla's large center resonator.

The main motivation for this is to have a loud option for when we go to the track. We run HPDE 4, and that consists mainly of race prepared cars running un-muffled.... so by comparison our F was way too quiet for the track!

Unobtanium in Calgary is working on Titanium tips, he has asked to borrow my car a couple times to fit them. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

You know, I think tips are kind of like changing your clothes. I used to like OEM tips, but it just kind of grew old for me.

The good thing now is that M4 guys can't accuse you of having "fake" tips.... because they have fake exhaust note which is just completely idiotic!

As much as I love my borla, I do wish there were an option for tips. I emailed borla about possibly adding it to their kit and they came back with the r and d for the kit is closed. When they built the kit, people mostly wanted to keep the stock diffusers. So rafi, you produce a retro fit and I will deff buy. Hell if you need another test car besides yours I will volunteer lol

I will post a development thread next week. And yes, we would love to get some beta testers to make sure fitment is consistent before production release.
