Im thinking about dumping my borlas for 2 reasons....

After the mufflers is 2.25inch (2.5 inch going into the mufflers) Its weird, just the way borlas are, I think they do it for torque.

And I hate the way the tips look.


Anyone ever regret doing it? Like exhaust pouring in the car or it rattling the floor or something?

You'll get a good dose of fumes at stops if you sit too long, and it might drone more, but you've gotta give a little to get a little. I only wish i could get the same sound with tailpipes because i love the look.

I regreted it and bought a new catback. I hate dumps sooo much, unless they are on a racecar.

I had dumps on my previous '88 GT and hated them. They sounded alright, but the true sound of the mufflers really came out and sounded MUCH better once I had tail pipes installed. I guess it depends on mufflers. If it's a very aggressive muffler, dumps sound better sometimes.

I loved when I dumped my flowmasters for about a month, the sound with an o/r x-pipe was awesome. But then my car started to reek of exhaust fumes. On long trips with the rpms at 2500 I almost went deaf. At WOT the dumped flowmasters sounded killer, but driving around town with the tailpipes on the flowmasters sounds a lot cleaner.

I heard a GT with dumped Borlas and its was the best sounding thing I have ever heard. Although it was an '06 and had no cats it was still sick.

i regreted it and put on tails after a month and half of having it dumped

it rattled everything and had lots of drone and just was annoying at cruising speeds

I didn't have a choice when i did my exhaust, I couldn't afford tail pipes. But I think in the future I will end up with a cobra rear and tips, more for looks then anything.

just do it and if you dont like it put the tails back on. it cost me $50 to get the tails cut off and a turndown welded in. the only time i really smell fumes is if im sitting at a drive-thru next to a wall.

i love mine. gets me closer to that V8 sound



dumps on the v6 stang i vote yes.

dumps on a v8. sometime but they can get loud.

only reason i got them dumped was because if i didint i would of had to drive the car back home move the fuel line then drive it back and have it put on so i just got them dumped and called it a day. and i think it sounds great goin 55 at 2,000 rpm


all about what you like more though
