Model Reviewed:
2000 Ford Focus SE
Strength:
Great sound. Nice deep tone. All stainless steel. Million mile warranty.
Weakness:
Lose a little torque at the bottom end. Great exhaust. The stock doesn't even compare to the Borla. Striaght through design with a nice looking tip. System has a diameter 2.5" compared to 1 7/8" of stock. Great sound, very nice deep tone, loud tone. Gets louder over time. Small decrease in bottom end torque because of lower back pressure, but high end torque and horsepower you can really feel. One of the few cat-back exhaust for the Ford Focus, I'd highly recommend it. Similar Products Used: Stock exhaust |

2002 Escalade, 6.0 Liter, AWD
Strength:
Mandrel bending, easy install, and strong, deep, rumble. It's the best cat-back out there.
Weakness:
The exhaust note resonates a little too much in the interior. Looking for a cure Overall: Great packaging, good quality, agressive looking, and easy installation. Dyno proved 22 more HP. Add a K&N, and the setup is good for 31 HP - Making the Escalade 376HP. Similar Products Used: Corsa Cat-back |

Strength:
none
Weakness:
Too expansive, hangs too low for a saleen rear bumper, loss in power, pretty much stock gt mustang sound last week i just bought a borla exhaust for my 97 mustang gt convt. And i got to say that i was very disapointed. The sound was only a little bit better around 2 rpm's but before and after 2 rpm's it sounds no different than the stock exhuast. And after installation of the borla exhuast the deffently lost power as opposed to the stock system Similar Products Used: Flowmaster, Bassani, Dynomax, Magnaflow |

Strength:
Good lookin, some low tone added to the emission, stainless.
Weakness:
Cost, performance, sound. It''s weak. I thought this would be the Best exhaust system ever but I was wrong! As for my ''99 Jeep Cherokee, the OEM Mopar system''s performance is similar to Borla''s. I changed the headers AND the muffler, NO SH*T. A waste of money. Moreover, the guys at Borla.com NEVER replied to any of my 7 emails. They really piss you off, don''t they? Similar Products Used: The Borla on my ''95 Mustang Cobra is something else! It''s really worth it, but not on the Jepp. I would prefer something like Flowmaster, I like how it sounds on my Mercedes E320 Coupe. |

1990 Toyota 4X4 V6
Strength:
Cratsmanship. Attention to detail. Best material possably can be used, except maybe if some manufaturer could produce a Titanium Exhaust......it would be lighter+Non-corosive......but it would cost Mega-Ultra $$$$$$
Weakness:
NonE. Maybe price, but shop around-its worth the money. I got lucky w/my deal. Awesome exhaust, PERIOD.... High quality, low Volume= cherry overall Performance. Stainless is the material by which everything else is compared to in the industry, because Stainless is proven itself as the ultimate in Durability........Exhaust has a throaty sound to it....kind of deep......NOT the Kawasaki/Sazuki crotch rocket sound like you hear on alot of Import Jap. autos out there.........just an overall solid sounding exhaust. I had a G-Ready on my 1991 Integra....which was nice in that it gave me a quick 15+ hp........but it was a lower end G-Ready....black powder coat, so did not look as nice as the Borla. The Borla when first installed gave me probably 10+ hp, and it was noticable. ****Remember, Toyota TRD packaged Trucks come with a Stainless Steel Exhaust......But **it IS NOT produced by Toyota, instead Toyota contracts out to Borla to make there Stainless Exhausts....Toyota=Lexas=Quality....thus Borla=quality. Nuff said. Many of the Pro-Performance car drivers in the country have Borla on there own Personal vehicals............so what does that tell you........Hmmmmmmmmmm Yo, Peace to my Bro in Pheonixville, PA. with the Phatest/most cherry Supra Turbo in the area!

''02 Acura RSX Type S
Strength:
1)torque gain,hp gain 2)quality of steel 3)product fit & definitely the ROARRRRRRR!
Weakness:
I was gonna say the price(retail sale at Borla.com for $800)but I got it for $200 less. Before finally buying this exhaust, I did a fairly decent research on several sys- tems of other companies - Tanabe,Comptech, Greddy... ...then I found out Borla made one for my car.I have to say I was impressed in many ways by this system.
