5.0 R-Spec with Borla Catback Exhaust

[604rspec]

hey guys i decided to take a gamble and spent 1200 bucks on the 2009 sedan borla exhaust. got fed up with the stock exhaust sound it was too silent. and i just wanted to let you all know the borla exhaust off the 4.6L fits 5.0rspec with a little bit of modification to the exhaust tips. the hangars, x pipe, and mufflers lined up n bolted on perfectly. the 2009 sedan setup is exactly the same. the only problem was the exhaust tips. i had to take a sawzall and chop the chrome tips too get them to be flush behind the bumper due too the oem tips being built in to the bumper.

it sounds amazing when i punch it i will have pics and videos up really soon so stay posted.

if you have any questions feel free to ask

Borla is modifying the tips to fit the R Spec as we speak - and the catback will be out very soon.

I spoke with them a month ago to confirm

No need to modify the rear tips once it comes out of course

But I see you did some minor changes to make the ends fit - so all is well.

Personally - I like the quad look

Gonna see how much a shop will charge to do a custom fit - and I might go with the 4.6 setup too

Post video - along with some flyby footage

i couldnt wait i will try too post the videos up tonight and ill post the stock 4.6 borla exhaust piping and muffler comparison.

By the way the stock exhaust weighs a ton compared too the borla system.

Impressive. I like the sound a lot. Not a ton different than doing partially open headers. Good sounding no doubt

$1200? I just got mine for $1000 with free shipping on summitracing.com plus I had a coupon for $50 off

Sounds great outside what about inside any clips with windows up the wife will kill me if its too loud inside. Her cts-v was pretty much a race car by the time we sold it she said i cant do that again but some tone would be nice

How bad is the drone inside the car at highway speed???

There are a lot of aftermarket exhaust systems for Vettes, but virtually all of them end up with an unpleasant drone inside the car at highway speed.

Very nice, do you know if I can purchase the mufflers alone? I attempted the MSA 2nd cat delete and was extremely disappointed. Thanks

Yes you can just do the mufflers/tips.

Is it noisy at idle?

I just installed a Borla Cat-back on my 4.6L, I should have done this years ago! Absolutely awesome sounding, much better than my previous setup noted above.

Could someone provide a link for good sounding mufflers on a 2015 5.0 Genesis? Ive tried clicking on links posted awhile ago and they must not be available anymore. I'm hoping to get a relatively quiet rumble without spending a grand or more.

I had the Magnaflow catback which is way milder than the Borla and it gave me a migraine. They're gone and I'm back to stock. Wish the Dynomax VTs were still available.
