Looking for the old(discontinued) Borla X-Pipe
 
I am looking to swap out my stock x-pipe for the older Borla x-pipe that was discontinued. If anyone is willing to sell one or knows someone who is, then I would be interested in talking. Located around Dulles Airport in NOVA.

Thanks,
Chris

Still looking

I have one of the catless x pipes from EOS, the quality was actually surprisingly good for the price. I'm getting ARH headers put on within the next 3-4 weeks, if you're still looking and interested in trying them I'm probably going to list them for 100.

Speed Engineering sells one too. I assume you want the borla because it's 2.75"?

Don’t those only work with their headers? Not stock manifolds? That’s what it indicates on their product page.

I totally missed that. What’s the catch? Why aren’t people lining up to buy these over the old borla and corsa pipes? $250 is inexpensive.

3" and double crossover vs 2.75" single crossover. Borla is deeper sounding and less mid range torque loss on stock tune. I've been considering it cause $250 seems hard to pass up.

but if it’s vaporware, then what does it matter?

i believe that half of the reasoning is poor marketing and the other is that some people are willing to pay a 2.5x more money for a slightly different tone and 1% more power. I personally don't have money to toss around like that for an x pipe, so i opted for the S/E.

No issues I take it then? Fitment fine? $250 seems like a steal. I’d be interested in finding out what this xpipe weighs. I know the corsa was heavier than borla as it was 3” as well.

i haven't installed it yet. Should have it on within a few weeks

Gotcha. Well if you have a chance to weigh it I’d be interested in knowing that along with any other feedback you have on it. I may end up snagging one rather than waiting to get lucky on a borla.

I’d like a review on the fit and finish of this piece as well! I don’t really want to buy something used but I also don’t want to deal with trying install some POS that doesn’t fit

Still looking for the Borla x-pipe. I don't like the double helix sound plus I already have a Borla axle-back on the car. Prefer to maintain a deeper sound too

I’ve read a bunch of horror stories on the speed engineering and Texas speed versions. I think I’ll still try to find a used borla catless xpipe as well. Here’s hoping a couple people respond to your thread.

what have you heard about the speed engineering? I can’t find hardy anything about it, good or bad.
