Good point, and we need to let Borla finish before lambasting them again—or not

. I'd like to see their parts and layout of their system. At it stands, Stillen currently has them beat, but it's great to see the SoCal shops jump into the fray.

If you look at the G37 forums you can see that the Borla exhaust is one of the preferred exhaust now out of all of them if DB is no concern then a modified nismo from the 07-08 350z is second. Just some FYI so I think it will come along well.

Alvin from Borla Performance in California. We've made terrific progress on our 370Z cat-back exhaust and although the audio/video is not perfect, we wanted to keep the 370Z community updated. We think our exhaust sounds great! We'll have this product announcement on our website next month.
Thanks for the comments and this thread.

Any current/future owner comments are appreciated.

Will Borla will be adding the flex pipe, like the factory and many of the Japanese aftermarket vendors, to help prevent harmonic resonance? Thanks.

Additionally, flex couplers help isolate engine vibration to reduce stress that can lead to exhaust component damage in welds, hangars, etc. While we've specified flex couplers in many of our products, Borla R&D has engineered this 370Z cat-back exhaust without the need or added weight of flex couplers. Thanks for your interest.

Any idea what the length of the tips will be? From the video it looks like they are angled which I like will that stay? I havent seen the borla for g37 maybe have to look it up, but do you have any numbers that came from that car?

Yeah? and how's the famous Borla drone at cruising speed that makes you want to puke after 20 miles?
