Borla Exhaust

Has anyone bought a Borla exhaust on a 4.0 liter Tacoma? I'd like to know your input on the sound, performance, fit, and any problems on installation.

 

I did for my 2007 TACO. Installation was a breeze (soak the hangar connection points in Rust Eater or something of that nature first).

At first I thought it was a bit dicey since its not a single piece. But I took it in for testing just to insure that there were no leaks at the connection point. A torque wrench is suggested.

I've had it for a few years now and the Chrome tip still looks great. Still sounds great as well.

I can't really tell as far as performance goes. I couldn't tell any difference. I am not willing to pay for a dyno when all I have is a a CAI and Exhaust.

The big difference was the sound. A nice low growl.

 

i def noticed some trottle response but i also installed my intake and EXHAUST together but i really like mine plus there customer service is outstanding.

 

Thanks for the info. Went on YouTube and it answered a lot of my questions. Thanks again.

 

Thanks for all the information. I'll be sure to soak the hangars. Your advice is helpful!

 

I like the sound of the Borla...seems close to the TRD catback. Just looking at their website the catback looks really expensive ($600+). Anyone know of a lower price?

 

I have now upgraded to a Banks 3" CBE to suplement for my SC...

The Borla was awesome. Clean set up, and sounded great with multiple set ups, Ie... JBA Headers/ JBA Headers with URD Y pipe/ DTLT's/ etc...

If you can fork out a few more bucks for a quality setup that wont rust and sounds great; Go for it.

No Comment on HP gains...

 

@roxspin72 - Im as well supercharged and am looking for an exhaust. Love the sound of the borla but 2.25" piping sounds really constipated. how was it with your supercharger? would you suggest a banks over the borla?

 

you can get a 3" borla just have an exhaust shop do the piping

 

The one thing to make sure of, is whichever brand or custom, that it isn't a smaller diameter than yours.

 

I got mine for 60 dollars! Some guy who picked up crashed vehicles out of town took it off a wrecked 2010, obviously he didnt know what he had. My truck is a 2001 so i took it to a local muffler shop and it was almost an identical fit but they bent the pipe and installed it for me for 30 bucks. So a whomping 90 dollars i got a borla exhaust system. I really like the noise of the exhaust, i would recommend it.

 

selling my borla catback. looking to boost and need some more exhaust flow. im asking 250 details are in the 2nd gen marketplace

 

Here's my Borla exhaust system with newly installed JBA cat-forward headers
