If you call summit racing at 1-800-230-3030 you can order one for $469.00. They did tell me it would take a few weeks for delivery but they are a pretty reputable company.

ouch; if all you want is an axle-back then I'd recommend just getting it custom done since its only a muffler with a 1ft pipe coming off of it

borla is just an axle-back; that means its NOT a full cat-back
so is the blitz and a couple others

the only two retail catbacks that i know of are the Greddy MX and the JIC Twins

Yes but it also costs $500

You want to pay THAT much money for something with two dinky mufflers and one small bend in each pipe? I didn't think so

Find a reputable muffler shop and buy two straight-through design mufflers and have them bolt them up; i guarentee you depending on the cost of the mufflers(Apexi N1s cost $200 each hehe) you won't spend anymore than $250 on a set of dynomax mufflers and installation

You'll get reemed for Borla exhaust anywhere in CA. Best bet is to buy out of state like in Ohio or Oregon with no sales tax. I've only shopped a little bit for them, but if there's a cheap *** place, I'm all ears!

Default don't buy borla

Borla exhaust is overated and overpriced.
I recommend some magnaflows w/nice tips and you can get it for 400

HUGE difference

I second this motion.... You could probably get a decent home made cat back for just a little more than the axle back borlas.

i have the borlas and i don't notice much difference with them. they sound nice and clean compared to the other mufflers that's for sure. Not very loud if you ask me. WHen you rev it up u hear the engine not the mufflers.

Default Try not to go name brand w/exhausts

The name brand ones are what they are.....JUST names.

IF you look at the really high performance cars..they usually have custom made mufflers
or use some simple straight through ones.

DOn't water your money on Borla, or Doluck. Borlas are just the name, pricey, and has no performance or sound. Doluck is REALLY big for a classy car..point outward and rob the car of lowend power

Magnaflows. The best bang for the buck exhaust

anthracite sc i agree with you, i was just saying that. i wouldn't buy it for the sound or the name. i would only buy it cause of preformance. The borla mufflers came with my car so i guess i can't complain.
The borlas do sound a lot cleaner than all the other mufflers i've heard though. A lot of people don't like the loud noise that the magnaflows make that's probably why they get the borlas.

I have the Borla Exhaust and have posted the link that has my before (stock) and after (Borla) integrated in one video. For me, the sound is perfect and while not sure of the performance improvement, it has to be better than stock.
