anyone with borla???

OK. I know mark will be in here soon , and yes I have heard the sound clip and am seriously considering hooker. But I want to know if anyone has the borla system. I know it is pricey, but how does it sound?

I want a nice smooth tone. Which I have been TOLD...sounds good. I have yet to hear it. But with a warranty like that I am curious to hear it; regardless of the price. If anyone has the borla, can you please get a sound clip for me??

I also want to ask HOW DIFFICULT is it to install. I have read in the forums here it can be fairly challenging. Do the people who have it belive it is worth the cash and effort?

I tried to listen to the sound clip but apparently I am having some trouble with my sound card. So I am going to try downloading it on another computer. Hope I will hear it tomarrow.

Thanks for the clip and soon to come clip. And thanks in advance for the feedback.

BorlaZ06, What do you have the other pipe set at? is it closed open a little, a little more, or wide open?

Thanks Brian

The other pipe set?!??

When you saw the clip I had no plate in it. I just put a plate on it recently (second biggest open plate) and it sounds a bit better. No popping.

I'm about to swap out my tail pipes soon and go with the fourth gen type. The ones you saw suck ***.

The only thing that sounds sweeter about Flowmaster is the price.
