First Borla Cat-Back Install on a 370Z
Hello guys, After all this wait, I finally got my Borla Cat-Back Exhaust!!! Installation only took 1h and all parts fitted perfectly in place without any trouble. This is the First Borla Cat-Back Install on a 370Z in Canada. …And just as I did in my 350Z, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this exhaust!!! Since there is no good Borla exhaust clip on a 370Z (except some kind of prototype), I will post a clip very soon so that you can hear it from outside and inside. It is not loud at all and it has a deep sound. For the moment, it is a little softer than on my 350Z but I have to wait at least 500km before the padding inside the muffler settles. It will become a little louder then. My only wish so far: Larger Tips (Currently same size as oem) If you are looking into a Borla Exhaust and you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hi, There are no resonators (if I understand you correctly). The two original resonators where removed and they where replaced by an “H” pipe. Check the CAD images in attachment.

Sorry, no plans for a Dyno. I don't care that much about a few HP (+15 or +18 or whatever…) but I do know that Borla is a very respected company for their products. This exhaust gives me pleasure only with the nice angled tip finish, the great sound and roar… Basically, that's enough for me…

Ahh the slip joints... Well what can I say? Not the most beautiful thing out there but it is simple, light and it does the job! I’ll bring back my car to the shop in 4 days to lift it again (The shop proposed it to make final adjustments if needed)… I’ll have a closer look and let you know what I think of them once more. At that point the exhaust sound should have changed a little and I’ll also take this opportunity to post the Sound Clip! :-)

Looks pretty good! Slip joints work in the hands of a very well made exhausts. The problem is that many manufacturers use them to allow themselves to build sloppy fitting exhausts. Then slip fits don't fit correctly and leak.
Handsome looking exhaust!

^borla's official reason is to lower shipping costs. smaller boxes with everything broken down and crammed in = cheaper to ship. makes sense, but on a couple of other car boards ive read people saying they wouldnt buy borla simply because of slip joints, even though borla has an absolutely stellar reputation.

Sound clips!!
As promissed, here are the clips!
I will comment and reply to your questions this week. The small vibration while reving down that you can hear on the last clip in the garage is due to a mall leak that I need to get fixed.
