Default New exhaust!

After weeks and weeks of waiting (back order), i finally got my borla mufflers today. I bought a universal turbo muffler with 2.25" piping straight through. I changed my mid pipe to 2.5", then at the Y the rest of the pipes are 2.25" with deleted resonators. The mufflers and tips total cost 360 (this would be 320 if i didnt have to order from canada), and the labor + custom pipes cost a total of 220. All in all it was well worth it, i would have waited untill tomorrow when i got pics and a sound clip, but i have had this "poo" eating grin on my face so i had to share.

Very nice Good choice on mufflers. I like them because of there low profile.

I have a set of 3" borla's on my car coming from a single 4" It is VERY loud, but I'm sure the cams have something to do with that We just welded a larger tip on to fill out the bumper cutouts.
I have some vids of it on the dyno is TX with it idling. I'm working on getting those loaded.
