Default Borla Cat-Back in Modified Mag for 2007 IS350

Not on their site yet, but a specific blurb on the IS kit is mentioned in the mag. Says true dual Cat-Back with their X-pipe. Could be interesting.

I can't wait either. I tried contacting them 2 or 3 times and I never heard anything back from them. Glad to hear someone else had better luck.

Default Borla exhaust

If their mounting brackets and isolaters are anything like the ones on the GS I'll wait for a TRD/L-Tuned certified exhaust.

Agree. The one for the G comes in about 22 pieces and a few had issues with leaks, etc.

I had a Borla on my previous car, a '98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and I loved it. Very nice exhaust note with ver very little, to no drone inside the car... It was a relatively easy install too, hopefully the same will be true with the IS version.

I dunno... for some reason I relate Borla more to domestic cars than imports. When I had my G the guys who bought their system really didn't like it. Neither did the Z owners. I'm happy with my Tanabe.

Yep, I put a Borla on my G, it looked great but it sounded like it was going to explode. What a waste. I think I'm going with the Tanabe this time.

that's sad. I've actually been looking into buying an exhaust for my dad's C6 Corvette for his bday and was even considering picking up a Borla since they are the "American car exhaust"...but after a little research, there are definitely better, higher end systems out there for domestics.

Good cars need good parts.

Hopefully your dad knew he had a lifetime warranty with the Borla and got it fixed free I've had their exhaust on my GS for over six years now, no complaints. As JMo mentioned, their hanger system left a little to be desired (I've had no problems with mine), but the quality of the exhaust was excellent and the tone is great with the v8.

Every car responds differently to exhaust designs, will have to wait and see how this one looks and sounds.
