Anyone comment on ground clearance? Looks good to me! Sounds awesome. I really like the layout! Looks like clearance should be good. I also plan on dropping 1"

I had been sold on this exhaust until i read that, and as this car will be a daily driver and used in the canuck winters clearance is an issue. If i was planning on leaving the car at stock ride height it would be a null issue, but I do want to drop the car mildly (1").

The center muffler is ~1/2" lower than factory. We have customer with 140496 on his lowered FR-S with no ground clearance issues.

The Borla is NOT 2" lower than the OE center muffler. We saved 10-lbs from the OE cat-back using a single oval muffler with our patented Multi-Core technology for the most sound attenuation to tune the exhaust note.

I don't know if it is 2" lower than the factory exhaust, but according to my measurements, it IS 2" lower than the frame rails.

Just ordered this yesterday. Any long term reviews?

nashsnazzy · 11-26-2012, 10:13 PM

I would like to know what wheels those are as well.

Ended up ordering the Borla exhaust from Amazon but it's showing a January ship date.

Wooooo Baltimore! We should meet up sometime and figure out if I made the right call getting the SRT - I was this close to pulling the trigger on the Borla on Black Friday.

How much was it going for then? Yeah anytime you want to meet up after I get it installed is fine by me.

Looks like it wasn't any cheaper actually, I didn't realize Amazon had them so cheap. (I was looking at AJUSA)

I decided to go with the SRT since they're a local shop and I went with the header-back system. $1100 installed by the guys who made it.

nashsnazzy · 12-20-2012, 06:12 PM

Flatline, does the SRT drone?

If the Borla isn't 2" lower than factory then how much lower or not is it than the factory system? I'm really interested because SuperSprint looks a little rich for my blood.
