Borla Exhaust

Exhaust sounds
I had the exhaust installed this week. It throws off a different tone for sure. It is not really noticeable at idle but on highway it's a pretty good growl. I dont know how to really describe sounds. It's not like crackling glass packs or something like that. At a stop light I dont think you can even tell from inside the car. But there is a changed increased sound at higher rpm's.
The exhaust tips are a noticeable difference in chrome and wider. They have a very good look.
The install went well removing the decklid was a little tricky but well designed for removal. Care should be taken to not let it rub against rear fascia as clearence is just about non existent with decklid fully tilted. The car is also difficult to lift as many of my lifts will not meet lifting points. So we did it on the ground.
I am pleased and love the look! I guess at times i want it really loud but i am sure i would tire of it also. So it was a good compromise.

If you just click on the dallas mustang sign at the top of this post it'll take you to their GT parts page. The Borla is the same thing as the Ford Racing Exhaust.
Welcome to the site :cheers
Pilot, out of interest did you go for the straight thru pipes aswell?
Has anyone else gone for that package?
I see they are not legal for road use in the U.S. The U.K "seem" to be slightly more tolerant, I have friends with decatted Tubi's on their 360's and decatted Diablo. They sound awesome and they have not as yet been stopped by police. Only real issue in UK is for the MOT test (required every year (after first 3 years), straight thru pipes would not pass the emissions rules so the cats would have to replaced for the test.

No emmissions testing in florida thank god. So Stefan if your down here driving around wtih it with no cats it really wont matter unless you get an officer who is just having a crappy day that pulls you over. As for the tone its the same at idle but will get louder as you drive but not annoying loud, just a deeper tone. The tips will change color once you get on it hard enough. So they wont stay chrome, they will get a yellowish bluish color once they are heated.

The Borla is back ordered for quite a while.
Most the tips where dammaged, and all muflers have now been sent back to Borla, and Dallas Mustang have no word on when the matter will be solved

Yep, picked up my GT last night and got the sad news, backordered until May.

Went for a ride this morning in a 05 with a pulley swap, Borla and the cats removed but not headers. Louder than mine with the borla only but not stupid loud. The pulley is a 1 off custom.
The car dynoed at 529hp stock and the stock pulley showed making 11.4 boost (with the cats installed). The new pulley and no cats (less back presure) the car is making 14.6. The hp only increased to 595 but the tq gain was just over 100ft lbs. :eek . The new tune is less aggressive than the stock one Ford uses. (The tuner is a little gun shy to lean on the set up).
The tuner did remove the 205mph limiter and all tq limiters set in the computer by the factory.
Bottom line is the car halls ass but seemes controllable, however I wasn't driving nor were we going around any corners.

You mean headers and Borla - right??
I suppose it NOT the straight pipes and no mufler (like the blue race car at SEMA)

StevA, Saw your car parked down at Crystal Cove on Saturday morning. We arrived at 7:30 and it was already packed! What time in the morning does one have to arrive by?

No. He has made a 1off sleave that leaves the stock manifold on but is a "bolt on" striaght pipe replacement for the cats. This way it is a easy step when getting ready for the smog man. Bolt up cats, swap out small pulley and reprogram all in 4 to 6 hours.

I got there at about 6:45 and was too late as well. They ran a little artical in the OC Reg. last week and the turn out was twice normal.
Sorry I missed you what did you think?
