Borla At Carlisle
This year was my first time attending the huge event at Carlisle, 2 days wasn't enough, but that will leave me more to see next time around. My wife actually encouraged me to get a new exhaust system, like almost everything else about the Vette I didn't need it, but what the heck ! At Installer Alley Corsa, Borla & Bassani were doing installs... these are photos of how the Borla folks installed my new "Stingers"... great sound, should come with a lead boot for your right foot! 
My stock exhause sounded fine & had nice tips installed... but I wanted MORE !
It only took about 20 minutes to install the new system, they weren't doing X-Pipe installs, didn't need one anyhow. I paid for the exhaust at the Ecklers booth, Borla had a trailer full of them ready once you showed up with the paid receipt.
The finished job looked & sounded great. All three manufacturers were busy, the Borlas were the right choice for me. It was great to be able to compare them all side by side !

Congrats on the new exhaust. A good sounding car sure makes it a pleasure to drive.

You will see them for sale next year at some of the used parts vendors

I got my chance to hear a whole bunch of different exhaust sounds at a Dyno Day event, a few years back. Borlas stood out as being closest to that 60s sound that I had for so many years in my 68 C3.
Congratulations for choosing the incredible Borla sound - gotta love it!
