Borla Exhaust
Hopefully picking up my C8 tomorrow and recall reading (I believe) that the Borla Exhaust is now an official part from Chevy. Can you order to through a dealership or do you have to get it from Borla?
thanks

Hi Josh, do you also do the installation or do you have a recommendation? I am from Bakersfield, and have been looking to get Borla but have not pulled the trigger because I am looking for a recommended dealer/installer.

We don't do installs, we do have local installers for this system in Socal.

I had my Chevy dealer install mine. Took a bit longer than expected but I was able to use my GM points to pay for part of it.
Atak is great. Crazy loud when you want it and loud enough when the wife is in the car. No regrets.

My dealer installed my Borla Atak for 2-1/2 hours labor. Sounds and looks great.

Isn't the sound incredible?

My Dealer charged 4 hours labor for mine. Borla S-type with black chrome tips. Love the sound, so much better than NPP exhaust.

Which dealer did you go with, how much is the total labor? I’m looking for a dealer in S. cA to install. Thank you.

Does Chevrolet give you the choice between ATAK or S-type? I don't see the option on the GM website for part #19433058

Nope. GM's version is the S-Type.

Is the S-Type quieter than the ATAK?

Yes. Borla has a good comparison video on YouTube.

There is a 10% off promo going on right now, and this site lets you select the dealer and shows you their install labor price. The best I can find around me is $312.50 for installation.
$4,750 - 10% = $4,275
+ 312.50 for install = $4,587.50 + tax

Thank you. I will contact them. Still debating if I should get Borla or Fabspeed. Any opinions, anyone?

The Borla system with the GM part number installed by a dealer should ensure no warranty issues.
Note: some dealers will not install it unless you buy it from them.
