Default BORLA

I have been seeing some threads about Borla in a negative context, and I would like to set the record straight. It started with an email that I sent Troy about some invoices that were outstanding from Borla. Borla is a profitable company that is going through a cash flow problem that is short term (like very many automotive and non-automotive companies). Borla is using current cash to build systems that customers have ordered, and debts owed to non-material suppliers are being put on hold for a short time. I have no doubt that all vendors will be paid. Borla will be around long term to honor warranties and develop new products. Now, this is coming from a somewhat disgruntled ex-Borla senior manager (I was laid off a week ago due to the financial situation). I proudly have a Borla system on my C-4, and still think it is the best C-5 system around. Now, if anyone knows of an opening out there, let me know!! :cheers:

Borla appears to be innovative and a strong competitor to most of the others. I hope they bounce back quickly - sorry to hear of your job loss.

All I can say is I love my XR-1!! Best sounding catback on the market, IMHO.

Sorry about your employment situation. Good luck in the job hunt! :cheers:
