Dealer Installed Borla Exhaust

My local dealership has a Scion FR-S for sale with 6 miles on the odometer and a Borla exhaust installed. The exhaust is not an option according to the scion web site. Is this something the dealer installed to try to move the car? It is on the sticker as a $799 option.

Thank you for your time.

Probably. The cost is spot on for that exhaust. It's fine. The Borla is nice with good weight savings over stock.

Thats a pretty good price considering its a dealer add on. Most of my local dealers would charge 2k or something stupid for that.

i would be very wary of this "borla header". I say this because the dealer wouldn't normally install something that they could claim voided factory warranty. If anything i would want to see the actual header before buying the car and get some sort of notarized paperwork stating that this wont void any warranty.

who said header?
he said it has an exhaust on it, probably the borla catback.
go for it man, cheaper than most dealers for an exhaust.

pretty sure he's talking about the catback, not the header.
