Default Borla catback exhaust prices you paid and how much installation you paid?

Hey Guys,

So I have decided to go with Borla catback for my ISF. Just want to know how much you guys paid for it if you got one and how much was the installation? I just want to compare with the prices I got around my place. I live in PA near Allentown.

Thanks

I'm local to you, I have 4 in stock. Probably going to order one for myself as well next week when I get my car this weekend Going to stop by RR Racing at some point today, because I am not so enthusiastic about the thought of installing headers myself, lift or not. I can let you know what they say.

I got mine for a steal at 915.00 pre tax from summit. They beat the price from a place I found online last year. Install was a case of beer because I installed it myself lol

I paid $150 OTD for my Joe Z's installation because I was feeling particularly lazy. Now I just need to find an ISS QES because the Joe Z isn't enough for me lol.

I went to three shops they wouldn't install because of the cat delete and EPA bs. I did it myself on stands. Need an O2 socket.

I wouldn't pay more than 2 hours labor to get it installed, if I was to pay.

That said, it is simple to install...well, the JoeZ is 'cause that's what I put on my car. I would assume the Borla is similar.

I paid $977 with free shipping from Jegs. I got the Borla full catback system.

Installing it yourself is easy enough. I'd recommend removing the rear bumper to get better access to the rear hangars. One of the most frustrating parts for me was removing the stock exhaust at the rear hangars. Took me about 4 hours total ... including a trip to O'Rielly to get one of those crowsfoot O2 sockets.

I payed $110 at the dealer to install my Joe Z but the Borla will take a little longer to install and may need some fine tuning for positioning . More likely than JZ system


Quick Reply: Borla catback exhaust prices you paid and how much installation you paid?
