Let us know what you think, I am sure you will be happy as Borla has been around for a long time, I am sure for good reasons.

If it was to cure some drone/popping in the exhaust, it should be well worth the price. Won’t give you much performance increase, but can make the exhaust sound better.

My first mod was the Borla catback!

Later i got headers , that had the X crossover......
Wish I could get a H pipe that would replace the X pipe!

I like the gurgling/popping from my C5Z with B&B PRT exhaust, once I get headers I might get an Xpipe
