Default Borla Dual Cat-Back System.... I think this needs a new thread...

As far as I can tell from reading here, and I do a lot of that, no one has the Borla dual system, <a href="http://www.borla.com/applications/lookup.aspx/2001/Audi/S4/Stainless_Steel_Cat-Back_System/14902/">BOR-14902 </a>.

So, I went off and started looking. As much as I like our AW Advertisers, I'm thinking it might be tough to pass up on the deal from <a href="http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?Ntt=borla%2C+audi&N=0&part=BOR%2D14 902&autoview=sku&Ntk=KeywordSearch">Summit Racing</a>.

Does anyone have any feed back on this exhaust at all? Heard it, seen it? Borla makes a high quality product, so I can't immagine fitment problems... FYI, the cost of shipping this exhaust to my door is like 20 bucks.

Discuss.

Default And I just read another thread... damn you Peter, that stated this is NOT a dual system...

And the picture is wrong.

Damnit.

I just got off the phone with borla, and confirmed Peter's information.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2006234.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2006234.phtml</a></li></ul>

Default After all these discussions about exhaust, I'm about to break down and just buy the friggin Borla...

Reasons.

I refuse to pay over $1000, or even $950 for a new system.

I'm not very pleased spending $700+ for a used system.

Borla has a nice sound, maybe a touch harsh at the top end... but I guess I can get use to it...

Hmmmm...

Default I have it and think it's great. Fitment can be a pain, but I can give some tips.

<ul><li><a href="http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/borla/products?ajr_skey=d89e3bab757bcdb005e6e1186595706c ">A little cheaper here</a></li></ul>

Default What does the borla sound like? My last exhaust....

was a brullen with 1 muffler removed and APR dp's and test pipes and i liked that sound. Just hope the borla is not to much of a soft tone. ON the other hand i want to get it badly only because i have a wholesale account with a distributor and i get them dirt cheap.

Default Why do sites like that scare me?

For one, it says 2DR, aka two door, which the S4 is not. I guess just ignore that? If you got yours from that site I guess it's all good.

If the borla part nubmer is correct... eh? I understand your concern though.
