![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I was looking at pics of the S/S Borla setup and saw two pics of the Borlas showing different shaped exhausts. Did they re-design the exhaust? I like the picture in the gallery much better, as oval looks better than rectangular. I hope someone can shed some light.
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
you are CORRECT.
the S/S borla now has a slightly bigger, more ovally round tip as you see on Y2KGS4's pic. the original tip was more rectangular. it looked good; but imo, the new tip gives the rear even more "mean and aggressive "stance.
i thinkonly the tip is different

Hmmmm, does anyone else have pics of the new ones? I really like the new design from the looks of that single picture. I might consider replacing my broken CF Borlas with these. I think I'd prefer something visually more quiet now (though I like the noise
). I know Summit has one of the lowest prices, but I don't want to get the old style. Does anyone else have a good source for the new style?
Thanks,
Brian

gs4will,
Thanks for checking. That's something I couldn't do. Been busy here in Hawaii and 12:00 noon is 6 p.m. Eastern, so it hasn't left me much time.
I'm a little suprised they changed the design and not many seemed to to notice.

I called SummitRacing today and they said it takes 2 weeks to get the Borla exhaust for my GS400 (part # is Bor-11733).
Anyone know of a quicker way to get the exhaust? Another dealer/supplier besides SummitRacing?
Are the new tips like the one's on Mo's Swift Racing car or not? I like his a lot.
Thanks
p.s.
someone posted a VERY detailed thing on how to mount the Borlas to help dampen noise from resonating into the cabin. is that really necessary? if so, how can I get hooked up with the special clamps, etc.?

Bob,
the gentleman you were referring to could be Juan from texas. he is a true perfectionist, and insisted on doing it right.
for parts you need, either the dealer, or local auto parts store should have them.
