Borla Cat-Back '03 V8

JGage · 03-03-2003, 07:43 PM

I can get this... for $605, worth it or overpriced ?

edited to reflect... The Borla splits out to the side (the OEM come sout the back) driving around with the rear window down does, at times, allow exaust gas into the cab... This stinks. I'm thinking the side may reduce this.

In the end, it has to satisfy you. I like my borla. I probably would have liked a customized exhaust just as much. If $600 for an exhaust isn't that much to you, I say get it. If you have any second thoughts about putting $600 down for an exhaust....don't get it....spend 1/2 that on a custom job and put the rest in your future mods fund.

I say get it. I'm a firm believer in Borla's stuff. Mine still sounds great after MANY MANY miles

If you bought a TRD exhaust. it would probably be make by Borla anyway. You might as well buy it...

I had the money and bought the TRD/Borla (it was an older model. I don't think Borla makes stuff for TRD anymore) cat-back for my 4Runner. It was great!

Now that I no longer have the money, I am going to have a custom job done.

I loved my Borla, but I just can't see paying that kind of $$$ right now when I know I can get a system that is just as good for less money.

If I had the money, yup, I'd probably buy the Borla. (lot of help I am! Heh-heh!)

I voted, Hell ya, get it!

In 8000 miles I have only noticed a sulfur smell on one occasion. So, for the people who ask if it helps reduce the smell, I don't know. Mine came from Toyota with the Borla already in place.

I don't smell the infamous sulfur. I guess I am lucky compared to some poor souls out there getting gassed.
