According to the person who had his car fitted with the BORLA Catback you saw on YouTube, BORLA will offer a catback, as well as, axle-back.

I hope that's $1800 for the cat back with the axle back coming in cheaper!

I guess there's a lot of crack being smoked these days, like the wildly expensive GT Haus and RR Racing systems.

Really? You think 1800? That's cheap in comparison to the other brands. I thought pretty much all much is500 mods are subject to "I know you got money tax".

I can see it going over $2k easy as inflation is a mother!

Just a wild guess. The Borla Corvette exhausts we sell have two sets of valves and is about $4k.

This car doesn't have valves and its a Lexus (Borla didn't make the ISF or RCF exhausts taxed)

Thats crazy pricing to me, but I guess somebody will pay it. C8 GM performance exhaust is only 1200 bucks 🤷‍♂️ I think my valved C7 exhaust was about the same price.

I wouldn't say that Borla "makes" exh for TRD, but would say that TRD used Borla for their R&D, liked it, and stamped TRD on it...just like how they did with other company's parts

I can say that this is the absolute truth. It does exactly what it did on your previous GM vehicle. Absolutely love it, no drone etc!
