    I finally purchased a Borla S-Type Exhaust System today after doing a compression test on all cylinders yesterday at my brothers house, cylinder #1 at 155 psi, cylinder #2 152 psi, cylinder #3 154 psi and cylinder #4 153 psi! Also 2,000 miles ago I had the walnut blasting done on my intake valves and runners so you could say that I have done some Spring cleaning in Winter. Now is the perfect time to install a better exhaust system such as the Borla S-Type Exhaust System.

    Just so you know if all the Borla exhaust gave me was the great sound I would have purchased it for just that reason alone! What type of gains will I notice with the Borla S-Type Exhaust System on my healthy clean engine?

    Appreciate your feedback!

    Thanks,
    Systemlord.

    Congrats on the new exhaust but the only way to tell the true gain would be a before and after Dyno run.

    Your ears will think it pulls alittle harder and it probably will in the higher revs. Btw, were you able to reinstall the crossmember plate underneath the car? I left mine off because the exhaust would rest on it.

    You should put it back on or you are going to destroy the flex joints.

    Wrong gen Dave. Second gen exhaust doesn't attach to the bracket

    ^^^^ ok

    I think I am going to put my LOUD AS HELL custom straight exhaust back on in the Spring for the Dragon this year.

    Everyone will know when Nathan or I are on Hellbender or the Dragon. :aureola::lol:
