Default New Borlas....AHHhhhhhh

Just had Quad Oval Borlas and X-pipe installed today. Unfortunately there is really no place in Key West to really let loose, but during a couple a quick accelerations, the sound was breathtaking.....sorry I waited this long.

I have the Borla Stinger quad tips on mine and I have no complaints at all when cruising. My car has a six speed and on an Interstate when I drop it into sixth it's practically like shutting the engine off.

Stingers do sound great! The car should come with them (IMO). Enjoy

Got mine about six months ago. Quad ovals. To this day, I still smile every time I step on the gas. What a great sound.

The idle sound of Borlas is unmatched from a C5. I love that rumble every time I start er up.
