My HHR SS 3" Borla Exhaust Set-up

Well started this post in case anyone cares in how my Borla Exhaust setup turns out. I hope to have it on the HHR SS next week and will post some vid's of Before and After. The system consists of 3" 304ss mandrel bent pipes from cat back, Borla pro xs muffler #40359, and a 3.5" Borla polished intercooled tip #20122. I hope it turns out and sounds good anyway....


Here's some pics

I got the pipes from http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com/servlet/StoreFront I wanted to get 3" straight pipes from Borla but could not find a shop in my area that could do mandrel bends

Dropped car off at the exhaust shop today must say it sounds pretty sweet Very nice deep mellow sound and no drone inside the car at hwy speeds (only got up to 60 so far) Guy at the shop said it all fit fine no install problems. I should have vid's up later on tonight

Here are some pics of the tip installed I had him bring it out some got to see the logo I think it looks good just ignore the dirty bumper don't take long for dirt to build up on top.

Well I tried to get some good vids but they don't turn out with the camcorder it don't do it justice but all in all it turned out great and total cost with installation came to $535.00 not too bad.

I see that site doesn't have the HHR listed. Just used the pipes listed for the Cobalt, I take it?

Changed oil today so got some pics of it with my cell phone while it was in the air.

Edit: Here's a vid of it at idle sorry for the crappy vid but it's the best I can do with my cell. The video doesn't do it justice sounds much better in person.
