Borla exhaust with Diffuser.

I am not really one to go US parts but in the case of this combo I couldn't pass it up.

Thanks!

love it! clear corners would stop the wheel sticker and the corner from clashing. also i'd powder coat the rear diffuser. just my two cents. this car is just awesome looking! great work.

any clips of the Borla exhaust. i've considered this exhaust too even though like you i don't usually don't like much of the USDM parts.

Thank you!

Yeah Clear Corners are one of the few cosmetic mods I am going to do, and I'll tell you this... After you mentioned it, the amber is driving me nuts! I have only had the car a few weeks! Priorities you know

Borla sounds great! I got it used so it makes it that much sweeter Thank you classifieds

Only other engine mod is TRD Intake.

Under acceleration or when you are on the throttle it has a throaty deep growl. Not super loud but definitely louder than stock. The best part is, at 3K-3.5K while cruising the exhaust is completely silent! The car is quieter than stock on the freeway without the noise generator and the Borla between 3-3.5K RPM.

If you want an exhaust that is too loud you can not carry on a conversation then the Borla isn't for you.

If you want an exhaust with a weight reduction over stock & a diffuser to get rid of the underbody airpocket with an exhaust note that is aggressive while not being annoying, then go Borla.

sorry to bring up the sore subject of the amber. it drove me nuts for weeks, till finally i swapped them and on this color it makes all the difference.

thanks for the info on the exhaust. it helps to know what other people have for an experience before you drop the coin.
