Borla Exhaust Installed!!!
Hey Everyone! Today we installed a brand new Borla Cat Back exhaust onto Project Chimera! (picture coming soon)
First thoughts in regards to setup: Great kit - arrived well boxed / padded and with complete instructions.
Install: So most times you will hear about us installing a part on our own... Well this time around due to lack of lift, we opted to hit one of new favored shops REN Motorsports in San Mateo,CA - After lifted installed went super quick!
Sound: I almost could not wait for the tires to touch the ground before I got into our project - Turned the key... and finally... heard the sound I had been waiting to hear. A great beastly roar that filled the whole shop with an awesome sound. Revving the engine just made it sound better and better.
First drive: The first drive with this exhaust was intense - Sound was just awesome. Project Chimera is an automatic 6 speed... In auto mode shifts were good sounding, however once we threw her into manual mode and used the paddle shifters... She really came to like... If over revved you got a nice popping noise that made the hairs on my arm raise!
Cruising around in the FR-S we enjoyed a nice sound that really brings the engine and car to life. We are really looking forward to many more miles and a great future with Borla Exhaust products!
