Default Yes or no to the 60547 Borla X-Pipe?



Found one for sale and was wondering how it is? Any problems? How’s the sound? Rumble and crackle?

It adds a nice rumble but it's not nuts.

Here's a lousy vid I took after I got mine done:

Yes, go for it. I would still have mines if I did not go another build route.

Yes go for it. Def adds a bit of volume to the stock exhaust. I didn't regret my purchase at all.

my car sound nasty and raspy on cold start up with the stock x pipe but then settles down in a few minutes when it warms up,changing to the borla will give the same results, wouldn't it make more sense to talk to a tuner to give it that raspy sound and decel pop if that's what your goal is. it can obviously be accomplished with the stock system

Do it! It adds a nice rumble and really good tone. You will not regret it. I’m glad I was able to get one right before they went out of production. Even if I sell my car, the pipe is staying with me “just in case”.

500 isn’t bad, for a discontinued pipe. I think I got mine before they quit at about 420
the x pipe will change the sound a bit but I wanted more so went with x pipe plus borla atak cat back and run mild2wild open full time. Love the sound
go for it!
