Q. WILL I GET BETTER FUEL CONSUMPTION?
A. Yes, a better performing engine uses less fuel more efficiently, increasing fuel encomomy under normal cruising conditions. BORLA's patented
flow through design and proper diameter mandrel bent tubing evacuate the exhaust gases out the sytem much faster and at a much greater temperature than factory exhaust. This results in performance gains in KLW when you plant your foot and fuel economy at cruising speeds. And, the bigger the vehicle, the bigger the engine, the bigger the load, the bigger the savings in fuel. That is why UPS delivery trucks are BORLA equipped. |

Q. WHY DOES IT COST MORE?
A. The most commonly used metals in the manufacture of exhaust systems are rusty mild steel, aluminized steel or an inferior 409-grade of stainless. BORLA uses only Aircraft Quality T-304 Stainless Steel. It costs more than the other lesser grades of steel. To cut, bend and hand weld
T-304 grade Stainless Steel takes special equipment too. Ask your local muffler shop if they can make a smooth, precision mandrel bend in 2.5 inch T-304 Stainless Steel pipe for you. You won't find many that can, and it won't be cheap. We also focus heavily on research and development to assure that the system fits, performs and sounds better than any other system on the market. Add to this pressure testing, our 1,600,000 km Warranty and the years of race winning technology that go into the systems made at BORLA , and you will see why we have so many loyal, repeat customers. A BORLA is actually very cost effective when you take into account the fact that most exhaust sysytems will need replacing within 18
months to 4 years while a BORLA exhaust system is designed to last the life of your vehicle. |

Q. MY NEW CAR CAME WITH STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST FROM THE FACTORY! WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
A. Material Difference : Many new model cars and trucks come factory-equipped with a low grade 400 series stainless steel exhaust. These are an
improvement from the old, rusty steel systems and are built to improve durability somewhat. And, the inferior grade of stainless is the only cheap material that will last through the factory warranty period.
T-304 Stainless Steel, on the other hand, is aircraft-quality grade with a very high nickel and chromium content making it much more resistant to corrosion. Because T-304 is a much higher-grade material and is harder to work with, it is therefore too expensive for the OE to supply.
T-304 Stainless steel allows us to back our systems with a 1,600,000 klm guarantee - A BORLA is a lifetime system.
Performance Difference : BORLA exhausts are also tuned to maximise the performance . |

Q. CAN I INSTALL A BORLA SYSTEM MYSELF?
A. Yes, many of our customers enjoy insalling their BORLA system. Just be sure you have good clearance and access under your vehicle, have the proper tools, observe standard safety procedures, and ensure the vehicle is secured by approved jack stands. We do, however, recommend you have a professional installer do the work, especially for a header installation. |

Q. IS OUR PRODUCT DIFFERENT FROM A 'GLASS PACK' DESIGN?
A. Yes. A glass pack is a muffler usually containing a cheap grade of loose fibreglass insulation in a lourvered tube. A byproduct of combustion is water which combines with the expelled gases forming a variety of very corrosive acids. These acids get absorbed by the fibreglass packing and
attack the lourvered core. This in turn causes the core to rust and blow out along with the other internals of the glass pack. All that is left is a loud, empty can. BORLA mufflers, on the other hand, contain T-304 Stainless Steel perforated pipe wrapped with several layers of stainless steel sound absorbing material and a blanket of ceramic sound absorbing, high temperature material. The stainless steel inner construction which is impervious to all corrosive acids, protects the ceramic packing from breaking down and getting blown out, so a BORLA muffler never needs replacing. In addition, a BORLA muffler is the most effective sound-absorbing device for the size. |

Mazda, Nissan, and Lexus. Ford Motor Company chose BORLA exhaust for their limited Cobra-R model. Ford's national dealer training videos have featured BORLA project vehicles. We developed a complete exhaust range, including headers for the Shelby Series 1 and have worked with Toyota and their Solara as well as Mazda and their Protege' on both aftermarket opportunities and limited production runs.
Top engine builders, top winning racers, car manufacturers, and automotive enthusiasts worldwide recongnise the difference BORLA makes. You will too.
