Any chance you can get a Full Exhaust (including Headers) from them for free, or seriously on-the-cheap?

If Yes, let 'em keep it a while!:D

Wish I lived near one of these companies as my car hasn't moved in over 2 weeks!

Please make sure they keep the quad tips. I absolutely LOVE Borla exhaust. Had it on my 04. If they keep the quad tips, they will once again have me as a customer lol.

Yes I will be getting headers as well. They will not put them on though cause they are 49 states legal. I swear sometimes I hate California. Therefore I'll be having my guys at the shop put them on and then tune the car.

I believe they are doing quad tips. The ones that Shelby is doing is made for Shelby and can only be purchased through Shelby. The exhaust Shelby is putting on the 2013 is not a new muffler. It's the same muffler they have been using on the previous super snakes. I'll have to ask them about the H pipe.

I would certainly like to see the difference in power, than the difference adding the headers.

Ive been NoTHinG BUT a rolling Borla salesman since it was installed on my '99 back in '05.

I'd love to first, HEAR an axelback sound they engineer specifically for the 5.8, as well as SEE what they have planned appearance wise.

I suppose it's a good thing I'm nowhere near their facilities, lest I feel highly PISSED as I could have afforded them the first car available for research, and the first rolling salesman.

So I went to Borla today to check on the progress of the exhaust system. They have the mufflers done. They stayed with the quad tips. They look great IMO. They maintain the stock look. It's not a rolled tip either. They sound is great. They are making the exhaust with there 4 core muffler system. I would post pics but I was asked not to. They did dyno the car stock and they were getting ready to dyno it with there system but I had to leave so not sure of the out come yet. They will be offering long tube headers as well. They should be putting them on next week and will be dyno it again. So far everything seems to be moving along quite well. I'm very excited as I'm sure all you will be once you hear it or order it and have it put on your Shelby's.

While I was there they had one of those Shelby 1000's there. Borla is making a exhaust system for that as well as 2 inch headers. The undercarriage looks great.

Hoping to be able to get some sound clips and pics up by the end of next week.
