Does anyone know if you could order a new Vette with Borla exhaust from the factory back in 2006? I had a Chevy dealer tell me that yesterday when I was looking at a 2006 in his lot which had a Borla. I have never heard of this, but who knows, there was the "COPO" program. Thanks.

He is full of crap.

Thanks, guys. That's what I thought too but this is a reputable dealer so I had to ask. I was looking to trade in my 94 on a 2006 but they wanted too much.

I have had two C6 cars. They are all good. Go newest you can afford. Good luck with your search.

Nope! Borla would be so lucky...

I find Borla to be bottom of the barrel. Just my opinion though.

David Borla

Yes, Borla designed and manufactured the GMPP exhaust for the C6 Corvette.

In fact, if you take a look at this thread you can see that the members of this forum were able to figure it out

We continue to design and manufacture exhaust systems for GM through both "Chevrolet Performance" and their "Integrated Business Partner" programs.

If you have further questions please let me know.

Actually, Borla did design and manufacture the GMPP exhaust for the C6 Corvette. So I guess we are that lucky!

Ive got a 2015 Silverado that came with a gmpp borla exaust. My 06 Silverado too has one. They were ordered with the truck but installed by the dealer. Kind of like the cross ram dual 4 barrel and headers were on the 68 z28. There factory authorized parts but ive never heard of them being put on at the factory level.

David Borla

Thank you! No worries! Happy 4th!

David Borla

You're absolutely right. It's confusing and although the business model has changed a few times over the years, as well as the name and logo, the program has always been an aftermarket program. That means either GM, an ADI or a dealer removes the original exhaust that came from the factory and installs either the (now) "Chevrolet Performance" or "Borla" exhaust. In reality it's a hybrid of aftermarket and OE because we work with the GM platform engineers on the design and the parts are only offered through the GM dealer network as opposed to what you will find in the Borla catalog.

SurfnSun

While that is true regarding GMPP, it was not ever installed at the factory which was the original question.

David Borla

Yes! You are correct and I stand corrected!

So would this hold true for the Borla exhaust on my 94? Installed by the dealer and not by a previous owner. Sounds sweet n
Get lots of positive comments.

Lloyd Smale

could have been either. From what ive seen the gm gmpp exhaust has tips that have bowties on them and the production borla customer bought systems have the word Borla on the tips. but if you search around you can buy both tips so that sure isn't wrote in stone. You can also buy the gmpp through ebay from a gm dealer or buy it at your own dealer and install it yourself. Big difference with my 2015 Silverado gmpp exaust is that theres a flapper in it that closes down when it goes into 4 cyl mode to keep it from droning and the standard borla system doesn't have that.
