So dissapointed- Headders/ Borla exhaust

[jgmachine]

I had my Borla exhaust and Gibson headders installed yesterday. The sound is hardly any different than stock. I am so pissed....

but can you feel any performance gains?

It's an H2, doesn't need a loud exhaust anyway

Just think how happy your engine is getting rid of spend gases anyway!!

Honestly, I have not noticed any performance gains. I'm running 37 inch tires, so it's a tad slower..

24 hours later and I am still upset at the crap sound. I have borlas on my Porsche and I have heard them on lots of vetts, all of which sound great. There is a video on YouTube of the borlas on an H2, and the sound is not even close.... Very disappointed...

I totally know exactly what you're experiencing. It wasn't w/Borla but w/Corsa Sport on my first H2.
I was watching youtube Corsa's video and it made it sound like Corsa Sport sounded very aggressive.
After the install, I was very disappointed with the sound.

Lived with it until I traded the H2 in.

Now after getting another H2, I went with Billy Boat exhaust....ABSOLUTELY 100% satisfied and pleased w/the exhaust. Very aggressive sound w/no drone.

I just wrote to Borla asking if they had a different muffler that I could swap in. The sound is just not there....

Has anyone gutted a borla exhaust before with success???

I also have the Corsa Sport. Installed it 4 months ago after watching that same video on Youtube. After installing, took it for a run down the street and noticed a slightly more aggressive sound. After a couple of hours of driving with the new set-up, I got used to the sound and hardly noticed a difference from that of the stock muffler. I think at idle it is supposed to be "oem" like(low rumble), and it takes life at 2000rpms. Just drive through a tunnel and floor it and you'll hear what I'm talking about. I think I'll go with Billy Boat next time.

Well no reply yet from my email to borla. I will write again on Monday.

On my 930 the sound from the borlas is on of the best I have ever heard.
On the multiple corvettes I heard, they are great as well.
On my Hummer, sound just sucks....
