Yeah, a processor and hard drive...I'm betting 80% of all welded materials that leave Borla are computer/robot welded, and are beautifuly welded.

I'll save my cash and support local shops and businesses, and have a custom exhaust built, and buy some decent longtubes for them to build the system off.

 

just put my borla on and it sounds AMAZING! i cant wait to hear it with the long tube headers now.

 

Which Borla version did you get? Get some sound clips and post them!

 

i got the s type. i had this kit on order since april and it finally came in. i did order the long tube headers from them also, but once again.... they are back ordered. they must still be working out some kinks with it. i couldnt believe how easy the stock system came out. it was one whole piece. just slid right out. the borla kit is sooooo much lighter than the factory exhaust. those mufflers are heavy.

 

Can you get some good sound clips?

 

I gotta do something, and I'd prefer to do it on the cheep...The exhaust on this car is just waaaaaay too quiet.
Has anyone just zipped off the resonators under the back bumper and replaced them with fabricated pipes? This worked perfectly on the wife's Challenger.

 

i dont have a sound clip. but here is one from youtube i saw. im not even sure if this is the same s type i have. borla makes 2 different models. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2I0y2Rdd0E

 

Ok- I have a Red Jewel Tint, Fully Loaded SS with Six Speed of course. Just had the SLP Loudmouth 1 (the most aggressive of the 3 models) installed. Wholly Shi#! It is now a complete Xtreme Machine. 426 plus, likely another 10-12 HP due to the increased backflow, not to mention the 75lb each lump of muffler metal I had removed. It's an absolute beast - the volume is NOT for the timid. If you think you got noticed by looks, adding this whallop of an exhaust tube, aggressively tuned is ensures nobody can help but look as you rumble by. As the for the dude that does not like the "popping". Huh?? That's the point! If you want a burbley, spitting, snorting, low toned - don't even think of F'ing with me at the light RUMBLE - the Loudmouth is for you.

Does anyone have proof of HP or 0-60 times with this system? I'd guess a 1-tenth improvement on the already impressive 4.6 second zero to sixty time, putting this beast in the best Bang for you Buck car ever made. What a blast - I've had two vettes and this is by far more fun.

Enjoy all! Rumbulling it up in Syracuse, New York!!!! SS Murray

 

whatever you do ...do not add headers to that kit(loudmouth). i had the loudmouth kit on my trans am and it sounded nice. i though it was a little raspy at high speeds and high rpm's. then i added headers thinking it would make it get a little deeper sounding......nope. totally went in the wrong direction. it sounded like crap. high pitch raspy sound. i also had an off road y pipe on it. but there was just no restriction with that kit. i later switched to flowmaster for a perfect sound. so take it from me, do NOT put long tube headers on with that kit.

 

Hard to tell. The 4th Gen F-body system used a Y pipe that was the widely accepted culprit for the raspy tones. With the factory system set up as true duals, it may not be an issue. Hard to tell until someone tries it. I had the Loudmouth on my car before headers, after headers, and then switched to a true dual setup. The only time i had rasp issues was with no cats, Y-pipe, and no cats. The Y connection is the most likely culprit.

 

the y pipe i put on my trans am was an off road y pipe. that may have been the issue. but it was freaking loud. i cant wait to get my headers put on with the borla setup. its going to scream!
