X is for new X-haust
Just replaced my exhaust with stainless steel Borla system. Man, does she sound sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Notice a huge difference in acceleration and performance overall is fantastic!
Anyway, I have the two original mufflers with the stainless steel tip.......only 10K miles on them, anybody interested?? 100 bucks for both?

RE: X is for new X-haust
What did Borla claim the hp gain would be from the exhuast?
Was it a full cat-back or just cut right before the mufflers. I was thinking about getting an exhaust as well if I could just get mufflers and tips, since the rest is all metal tubing anyway.
I have a Borla XR1 racing exhuast with no mufflers (jus a resonator) on my Vette and absolutely love it.

These are the stainless steel life time left and right mufflers with the polished stainless tips.....absolutely fantastic! I bought it for the looks and sound......Borla claims 12hp to the wheels but I didn't really care about that.....
It has a deep rumble (not that Asian import sound bull ****) but a real deep muscle car sound that if you didn't know better you would swear it was a V-8!
Very nice and highly recommended!

RE: X is for new X-haust
I was gonna get the Remus but decided to save a few bucks instead so that I may get my intake opened up and polished. That should give me an extra 15-20hp. My of goal of 300hp is on the horizon.....

Well I was fortunate to find a dealer on the east coast who was trying to get rid of some of his inventory to bring in new stuff. He sold me the remus exhausts for $400 which was selling for $900 on other places. I considered borla but I saved some $$$ getting the remus.

I installed the stainless steel mesh insert for the front grille, Planning to install the bottom sometime soon. I upgraded to 18" wheels. Added the "AWD" and "R" emblems to the rear. I also have clear side marker lights.

RE: X is for new X-haust
I did the mesh thing too, upper and lower....be prepared for the lower, it was a bitch and lots of cutting. Looks great when done though...
I used stainless steel nuts and bolts for the lower grill instead of the crap that they give ya. i also customized a new bracket for better fit.
Good luck
