370Z Borla Exhaust Development

import111 · 06-10-2009, 09:47 PM

I doubt I will be waiting until the Borla is released. Taking too long and I am in a hurry to put an exhaust on my Z.

Cut them some slack guys. At least they aren't rushing it and selling us crap.

Producing good sound is great. But my question is. Will this Borla exhaust be able
To match or exceed the amount of power added by the stillen exhaust. 18+ hp on stillen.
And its power most say they can feel.

The only way we will know that, is if we dyno'd the Borla unit on the same dyno, on the same day, during the same weather conditions.

I wish u guys at Borla all the success with the exhaust. Cuz its never good for the consumer to have
one dominant brand.

I wish u guys at Borla all the success with the exhaust. Cuz its never good for the consumer to have just
one dominant brand putting out a product..

Be wary of manufacturer claims. I have the Stillen G3 intake, headers, hi flow cats and exhaust. Together they gave me a 26hp gain.

Search this site and you will likely find a thread that has someone's dyno before and after with just ths Stillen exhaust.

As an aside, when Stillen says things like "no one has higher hp gains from their exhaust" That just means that on Stillen's dyno there was an 18 hp difference before and after. If they run it on a different day, or different part of the day when temperature is cooler or if they heat soak the car on the "before" run, it will exaggerate the difference. Every manufacturer has a vested interest in exaggerating the results. Most people only gain 5 hp or so from aftermarket exhausts, but they are testing in an unbiased manner...

need4speed · 06-18-2009, 01:26 AM

Wow... that's a big investment for 26hp. Stillen claims all those parts to average
An increase of 60 hp with all those add ons. But is your 26hp. WHP?
Have u clocked ur ride with the add ons? How u do in the quarter?

I haven't tracked it. Here is more info on the mods: Induction parts + ECU reflash dyno results

One_Quick_Z · 06-18-2009, 02:45 AM

This would be an exhaust worth waiting for I loved it on my 06 350Z it sounded great... and It sounded even better with my APS TP and Megan Racing headers haha

Your numbers might not have jumped too much but it seems torque is all across that map
N horsepower is steadier as well. N that means a lot on the track n helps on the road
2 wen drivers around u r driving real aggressive. That kinda power helps u stay ahead of the game.
Only thing tho. The reflash voids warranty with nissan. Doesn't it?

need4speed · 06-19-2009, 09:20 AM

Maybe this isn't the right thread 4 it. But I don't have much knowledge when it comes to ecu reflashes. Would u mind explaining the pros n cons.
