Does anyone currently have these on their H2?

Any thoughts or impressions?

I'm trying to narrow down the field..

Thanks in advance..

You mean these? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Honestly, I do not know what they do for me as far as performance goes as a result of hp increase numbers. They were not part of the package, I added them in order to let the engine breath easier. More air in, more air out, with the proper fuel mixture and you are a happy camper. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I do not believe all the HP increases promised by aftermarket manufacturers with regard to their bolt on crap. Common sense and prior drag racing experience led me to Borla.

Thanks for the post, Ken:

I've had some prior Borla items, most notably a set of Borla headers on my Viper GTS. While I'm not a big fan of their exhausts (read: drone), their headers seem to perform quite well.

I haven't seen many on this forum with the Borla, hence my post. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Thanks so much!

Indeed! I have a few other items on the way, so I will definitely be updating soon. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Your list is growing rapidly too I see!

How do you like the Navigation system (read: envious)?

I think the Navi works well...are there some things I'd change, yeah. But most importantly, I like the factory look. I'm not a big fan of having a navi. aftermarket set up.

My next big mod is going to be wheels. Looking at getting 17 x 8 EVO Velociti 8 from Tire Rack @ $411 each. Best price I've found so far.

Plan on getting the Xenon HID from Jason (H2 Source Store) very soon too!

Definitely post some pictures and impressions of the Xenon kit. I almost bought that kit a few weeks ago, but I'm diligently waiting on the new Bi-Xenon projector kit that is coming out soon (that requires no cutting).

Xenon's won't be for a few months...as I told Jason, I don't want to make "the wife" upset with me. So far she hasn't noticed the door sills (and she's been in it a few times since installing them).

I love mine, you won't regret getting them.
I may have liked for them to stick out a little more, maybe a 10 inch wheel, but that would start interfering with flex up front. I'm actually glad they still fit tucked under the wheel well.
I picked up mine on ebay fron $860 including shipping.

Good Luck...

I've got lots of picks if you want some.

Oh yeah...send me the pics @ joe@markerman.com, or just post them here. (However I don't want to take the subject away from Socrates, so you may want to e-mail me pics.
