Good lord, who installed that borla muffler !?! (NOT "borla exhuast") Yikes! If you can feel the difference a muffler makes, I have some beachfront property in Nevada that you might be interested in, going on the cheap!

BTW, tires. Much like most other things automotive, you get what you pay for.

why what do you have to say about my borla?


I think they did a great job, i mean i paid $50 for it installed. kid came a traded his borla for a magnaflow and left eh borla, which cost him $400 from the same damn shop, didn't return it, and still bought the magnaflow for $400.


the borla came off a 4th gen.

and for your guys info i went froma a completely open ehaust to a borla. thats how i felt the improvement.


The ehaust before was leaking so badly it wasn;t doing anything for me so i had to seal it up and install a muffler, well i thought i did.

Thought you did what, install a muffler? It appears you have.

So what tires are you going with then? I use Kumho 712s and I'm happy with them.

it did perform better then the edelbrock, but the edelbrock also had a stock cat in from of it. When i took of the cat, there was no passenger side flange gasket until the damn time i got the borla so, its beena while sine the car has seen good performance.

I think it would be funny if someone emailed some links to his posts about doing burnouts to the cooper tire company. Let them see what kind of stuff he is trying to pull.

lol, its funny bcause they could sue you for what your doing, you did plenty of burnouts then complained that it was there fault for improper tire pressure specs.
