Strength:
Great Tone, Mellows nicely over time. Easier than Legos to install...
Weakness:
Can be a little droning in the 2000 range... The Borla is extremely well built and came with all the necessary hardware, including gaskets... A few hours in your driveway and you're done. Upon first start up, the sound can be raspy, but over the period of a few months, it calms down to a nice rumble. I bought this while tossing the idea of HKS vs Borla around and I don't regret it one bit... Makes my Stealth sound like it's supposed to... Be warned tho, the sound will definately turn some heads. ;) Similar Products Used: None... Bought on a recommendation... |

Strength:
The stainless steel construction gives its million mile warranty.
Weakness:
No one tells you how much lounder its going to be. The Borla system bolted straight in using the OEM hangers. The engine definitely breathes easier, not bad for a 4.5L inline 6 cylinder SUV motor. The noise is louder, but with my previous custom exhaust, the lack of back pressure actually reduced my low-end torque. The Borla system seems to have solved the low-end torque issue by providing just enough back pressure. However, at high RPMs, greater than 3000, the engine revs freely up to the redline of 5500.

This system has a wonderful sound. It gives you a little more horsepower, but its not easily noticed, and it gives that great Borla look.
Weakness:
I can't see any This is a great product for anyone who wants dual exhaust on a V6 Mustang. If you are thinking to buy a new Mustang, I suggest you wait until 2001, because they are going to re-design it, based on the LS, hopefully with dual exhaust. Similar Products Used: GReddy on a Civic, the exhaust was great looking but sounded like total RICE. |

2000 Saleen S/C 281
Strength:
Perfect muscle car sound and exeptional build quality. An absolute joy when driving around town, even when driving leisurely.
Weakness:
Incredibly irritating deep pulsing sound at around 2000 rpm, which is around 65-75 in 5th gear. This is only a problem when cruising on the freeway. My solution, drive in 4th. I can't say how this system compares to other aftermarket exhaust systems installed on a V8 Mustang. However, I can say that if you own V8 car and seek a muscle car sound, this system will not let you down. If you do a lot of highway driving can't a deep droning sound for long, think about another system. The quality of the Borla is definitely top notch. Similar Products Used: None |

1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT1
Strength:
The system is of superior construction and sounds great. After the system was installed,it felt as if a cork had been pulled out of the exhaust system. The performance gain was readily apparent. The throttle response was quicker and the power comes on earlier in the revband. To this day, the BORLA exhaust system looks/sounds beautiful and kicks a**.
Weakness:
ABSOLUTELY NONE! My experience with the BORLA system can only be described as excellent.The system really brings added life to my 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT1. The gain in performance is something. This system is a MUST on your 'TO DO' for performance upgrades. Similar Products Used: The BORLA system makes the stock exhaust system seem like it is corked. |

2000 Mustang GT
Strength:
It sounds amazing between 2000-2500 RPM's. It seems to get quieter as the RPM's increase, but maybe that's just my hearing. I feel a definate power increase at the low end.
Weakness:
I think the tips look like crap. They are shorter than the stock tips as well, that is they don't stick out as far. Some people like the way that they look, but I don't. I don't see the tips being a major problem. I'll just go get some new ones. The product sounds beautiful, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Similar Products Used: Stock cat-back. |
