Default Borla Replacement

When I can get my '99 FRC out of storage I plan to replace my Borla with a Corsa - no particular reason other than getting rid of the bumble, etc. I bought the car nine years ago with 35k - it now has 80k! The Borla was on the car when I bought it! I am looking for opinions - does a used Borla have any real value? It will be carefully taken off - no cutting! Again, just opinions!

Hi Dave

There always seems to be a market for used exhausts. Depending on which type you have and condition. Some guys like loud, super loud and ear shattering loud, so there's always a market.

That said, which Borla system do you have? Also, which Corsa are you going with?

P.S. The chrome wheels cleaned up really nice!

Borla is a popular aftermarket exhaust so yes, it will have a value that you can ask for it. Not sure what the system cost new but do some searching in the C5 Parts for Sale section using a keyword of Borla exhaust and see what hits you get. You should be able to come up with a price that way taking into account the condition of your system.
