Marilyn's new pipes...

[sportscarhiatus]

I was as giddy as a Walker at a Leper convention! (it's homage to The Walking Dead on AMC, for those of you in the know ).

This is what I saw Tuesday pm, on the Fedex site as I watched it and was clicking refresh every 15 minutes. LOL.



So I took Tuesday pm off to perform some surgery on Marilyn. Finished the install in about 1.5 hours. After doing my GT500 mufflers the first time, I saved a lot of time by knowing where the bolts are and just how to move the mufflers around to easily access the bolts. I was actually done removing AND installing in under an hour. The extra 1/2 hour I needed was just to align and straighten the pipes out... I had to have EVERYthing lined up and perfect. lol.

Fit and finish were impressive. Definitely higher quality stuff than the GT500's I had on there. The quality of the welds and the material itself was top notch. Installation was a breeze...everything lined up.

Looks-wise, definitely better than my GT500s. The 4.5" opening with rolled tips looks so much more "finished"...like it belongs in those bumper cutouts.

Sound-wise... it's perfect. It's louder and a little bit deeper than the GT500's. It's louder by ~50%...which is exactly what I was looking for. On throttle, they really wake up. It sounds almost smoother than the GT500's? The brap-ap-pap sound is still there from the stock H pipe, but just revving it, it sounds smoother and "freer", if you will. I drove it a total of a 1/2 hour so far, since Tuesday schedule and weather are not cooperating.

So here are the pics and videos. The first pic is of the "stock" GT500 before I took it off. Compare it to the size and looks of the Borla. I dig the Borla more.

And here are the short vids... I will need to take more.

Borla makes some top notch stuff! Car looks great as usual and now it sounds great too.

Sounds good, love the rolled tips, makes it look more factory. I'm a gm guy, mainly chevy, but I gotta tell ya ford has done some amazing things with that mustang. I like the styling, moreso than the current camaro. I have an 02 camaro and that's the styling I like. If I wasn't such a diehard chevy guy I'd buy a mustang...yours looks great though, awesome color, great detailing, sounds good. Only thing missing is some long tubes...

Looks and sounds awesome man.

You definitely get what you pay for with Borla, real high quality stuff.

Their tips definitely fill the rear valance very nice and look great.

That's probably the best way I would describe it as well. It's smooth but still has the throatiness and aggressiveness.

Keep in mind that Borla works/researches with Ford, FRPP, Roush, and Shelby on some of their vehicles.

thanks flamed.... yeah I never knew Borla was such high quality. I should have sprung for them the first time and ate the cost.

Yeah I much prefer the older camaros to these new ones. But what do I know The ZL1 will kick the shelby's rear anyday

but thank you for the kind words. The color I love.
