Borla Install
I just got my Borlas from Tbyrne. I have a couple of questions about the install on a 06 MN6.
Do you have to take off the mid pipe to get the stock rear unit out ?
When you install the Borlas do you install the extension pipes before or after hanging the mufflers in the back ?
Thanks !

I also removed my rear sway bar just to make it easier to remove the stock exhaust. It's not necessary but it did make it much easier. You'll need to have the car at least 2-3 feet up in the air in the rear.

I had one of the first sets of the Borla Stingers on my C5 and I loved them. It was an MN6 so I didn't really notice any drone.
My new 06 is set for production 5-8 so I don't have them on - but the look great on the living room floor !

Yea, they always sounded great- ask any of the C5 guys - they love em. I was thinking about the B&B Bullets but the Borlas were just right for me - loud when I wanted it to be and tip toe past the cops when needed.
It is really a personal taste thing. To me the Corsas that I had were too low key and raspy when you would jump on it. I loved the sound of the Borlas the first time I heard them. Throaty and sound like they mean business.
