The borla had several restrictions and simply was a poor design. So using your logic that more money for a part is always better explain why the $300 exhaust was able to look and perform better than the $700 borla?"

If you think your intake pulls in 2x the air then you are even more ignorant than I thought. If you look you will see a Y and when you look at a Y you will see it is 2 ends meeting into one which means only so much air can flow in one tube. If you can not understand that then I am so sorry for you. I also hate to inform you again that pulling in hot air = less hp.



Earlier you said $500 now you say well under $1000...which is it? Not everyone thinks that $750-$800 is that unreasonable for a nice bolt on catback, that allows you to remove your catback in one piece in case you ever decide to switch back. Guess what, $500 IS well under $1000. Go get your calculator and do the math honey.



Ive had similar experiences, why do you think i build my own parts And when did i ever say more money for a part is always better? You said it many times in this thread sugar. Also, I would be willing to bet you are not "making" this exhaust. You are not the one doing the bends, etc.



Now your going off the deep end. You should seek professional help immediately. Nah, that is called being sarcastic and funny which I am very good at. Sorry it was over your head. I will try to make my future posts more simplistic for you. I am nice like that.





Hold on right there.....next to nothing? Clicking "add to cart" is the easy part, a child can do that. Now take those parts and make them fit on your car into a proper fitting exhaust that looks nice as well. Last time i checked welding, cutting, and fitting is NOT FREE. It is free if you do it yourself unless you are mentally unstable and you charge yourself for your time. How much do you bill yourself when you do work on your car? Since you are a high roller I bet you charge yourself at least $500/hr.




And who has the time and money to pay for this R&D, you? Who is paying me to do R&D for me? I guess as we discussed earlier you bill yourself $500/hr but fortunately I do not charge myself a fee for R&D or for mechanical work. I am lucky!



There you go off the deep end again. No one ever said double the price will be twice as fast. And our cars will never make 8000whp....ever. Are you at the pool or something? You keep talking about going off the deep end. Make sure your mom is watching or that you at least have your water wings on so you do not drown. I am sure mama's little boy doesn't want that to happen lol.

Thank you come again.

It will take twice as long to build as compared to simply bolting on a ready made piece that convieniently arrives at your door after purchasing. And if you ever want to switch back to your stock exhaust exhaust you must have them re-weld what they hacked off.

If none of the aboved mentioned attributes are important to you then a muffler shop is always the way to go...we have some around here that could porbably get ya good and fixed up for less than $300.....and i would never in a million years let them touch my car with their pipe bended non smooth transitions, mild steel, wire welded, hack saw/plasma cutter technology.

Kinda like the guy above said that owns a Mercedes...hes used to spending more for something a little nicer. A muffler shop job will provide similar gains for 1/2 the price....thats what the srt-4 community thrives on. but our cars are a little nicer and id hate to go to a SRT6 gathering and someone ask to check out my exhaust and have them see a muffler shop job.

Having said all that.....if most of the members here are completely fine with that(which ive seen pictures and some of us are)...then my question is already answered.
