Borla exhaust system!

I'm thinking about purchasing a borla exhaust system, but that's a lot of money for me. Does anyone have it installed and have a video clip? Not the white HHR on YouTube?

I'm looking for a nice sound with no drone. I have a 2.4 2LT and K&N intake.

It seems it's made for an hhr but, if I don't like the sound that's a lot of money I can't get back, I have already went down that road with a dynomax super turbo muffler, too much drone!

Anyone have one installed and live in San Diego?

I've got a 2011 with a 2.4 and the GMPP/Borla system on it, I'll try to shoot a video with my i-Phone, but as my wife says..."every video of our Son Dusty starts with thirty seconds of Daddy filming his shoes, or the ceiling".

As far as how it sounds, nice and throaty, no buzzing like the soon to be junked Magnaflow system on my '06.

Borla is blowing out HHR systems on e-Bay so I snapped one up.

Yes, I'm probably going to make it my Christmas present, but need to make sure it's perfect...

Quiet all the time and nice when you step on it?

Videos please, or San Diego locals!

Thanks for the heads up, might look into a over border receiver.

They said they could ship to a relative, or an American address

I live about 15 minutes from the Lewiston/Queenston bridge to Canada. This is about 1 3/4 hours from Toronto. If anyone from Canada needs to ship a Borla system to the US, they can ship it to my house and then pick it up. I'm not sure if there would be any border crossing issues (taxes, etc) bringing the Borla back to Canada. I don't mind helping out a fellow forum member.

One of my HHRs has a rusted out area near the muffler.

The Borla is less money than the cheapo replacement system available at the local muffler shop.

I'll probably make an offer for the Borla system.

Videos please!!!

I'm looking to buy this system soon, as long as I like the sound.

It would be nice to get a video of the inside and outside, and maybe one inside of the rpms too!

Sorry gio89kid, my wife had an accident this morning, so all thoughts of taking an exhaust vid went out the window as I was following a County EMS unit across town at speeds I won't divulge here.

Let's just say that a V-10 powered Ford E-450 ambulance can, and will haul some serious butt. I was working my '06 L-61 2.2 pretty good keeping up.
