thats hilarious . I never knew I had 50 motor mounts in my sports closet

 

Thats unbelievable!!!! Great stuff! lol

 

Made of the same stuff as regular mounts only with a higher durometer rubber. Get those videos up.

 

videos !....i currently have a full racing beat streetport exhaust system for my gsl-se...but im still deciding if i should use it or not....people say full racing beat sucks.....i wanna hear your borla...how much did it cost

 

Maybe we can get it installed tomorrow, and find out how it sounds. It costs too much for its build quality, I must say. You're better off buying the Racing Beat universal muffler for the same price.

widz, if you have a full RB system why haven't you installed it yet? Don't believe the hype. RB has been around for many years because they make decent products.

 

No, Racing Beat doesn't suck (especially not the streetport system). Will it get you the maximum possible power? No. But it is an excellently made, quiet system that sounds good and will net you a substantial power gain.

I'll post some pictures of my Borla tomorrow. As Jeff said, it's not worth the price. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's kind of a piece of junk. I'm gonna use it, of course (anything is better than the stock muffler), but I won't buy another one. I'll buy a Racing Beat universal muffler next time, or a Magnaflow if I need something smaller/cheaper.

 

Bye bye Edelbrock.



And the Borla (no, not installed yet):



Notice all the scratches? It came shipped like that, and not for lack of packaging. Whatever, I don't care that much.



Not the prettiest welds in the world.



WTF? Crush-bent pipe in a $100 muffler? Come on, guys. And yes, that's fiberglass you see sticking out.

So, if you have to get a Borla, get a one of the straight in/out variety, rather than the offset/centered type, because that's just inexcusable for the price they charge. But as you can see, the quality of the workmanship certainly doesn't exceed that of Magnaflow despite the significant premium in cost. If you're looking for something of real quality, pick up one of Racing Beat's universal mufflers, because the one Jeff got is absolutely beautiful. It's on a completely different level. I can't believe I only paid like 15 bucks less and got this garbage.

Wow that Borla really looks like crap. Definitely not something to show your friends. Oh well. Maybe you can get one of those triangle mufflers for the turbo since they don't muffle as much as the universal muffler, which will be perfect with the muffling effect of the turbo and the 3" universal presilencer. Then you CAN show off your muffler to your friends... I'm sure any other rotorhead would appreciate it too.

 

Whoever told you that is an idiot. I have a full SP system and it's a very well built, durable exhaust system. Huge bump in power (however not as much as a SDJ or the new RotaryShack SS header), plus it's quiet while cruising, minimal drone, and it sounds great at full chat.

The Camden/Holley setup looks great. Get up some dyno graphs!

 

I have almost the same setup Camden 7 SC with RB headers but im still using my edelbrock 600. I did notice that it was drying a little when the secondary activated so i changed the step up springs for immediate secondary activation from 5 to 8, changed the primary and secondary jets from 100 primary to 104 and 95 secondary to 100, no more drying.
Also changed my exhaust setup from RB headers to 2.0 pipes collector and factory exhaust to
same RB header 2.25 straight through pipes to aftermarket exhaust and ohh my God what a difference, with factory exhaust and the previos holley single barrel i had on it before it would be so hard to reach 80 MPH but now i reach the 125s so easy, havent DYNO it yet cause im waiting for the upgrade that pulley boys have to increase the boost to 11 pounds so i can Dyno it before i perform the Bridgeport with overlap escape.
I was thinking of making my 12A turbo but now i dont think so, ive been doing some research and camden SC and bridgeport are a excellent combination.

 

How much pounds of boost are u running, are u using a -7 -8 or -9 pulley -7 being the one the camden brings when purchased, and how did u fix the slipping problem my belt slips a little when stepping on it hard.

 

Heres a vido of my exhaust setup.

I'm using a -7 pulley, which produces about 9 PSI on my setup. Without auxiliary injection, I see no need to change it. As for the belt, I basically just got a new Gatorback and tightened the crap out of it. Even now, it still sometimes slips a little at redline. The 6-rib pulleys that Atkins ships them with are simply too narrow.

 

I have the -7 too but know pulleyboys a branch company of atkins and camden is producing a -9 pulley wich increases your boost to 11 pounds, i should be getting mine tommorow then ill dyno it.
ohh and the -7 is only from 7 to 8 pounds actually, i asked camden.

 

The gauge could be a little off. They usually are.

 

Where u get the gatorback belt from, is a gatorback better than a gates belt?

 

I would send that back if it was a real borla. I got the same muffler about a year back, and there was no problems... Welds looked great and the inside pipe had no crush bends. I could see through it.

I would seriously take it back. Mine is over a year old and still looks great.

 

That was a Wicked Nicky Borla. Maybe that's how he sells them for so cheap.

 

great sound

 

What is your setup...I like that.

 

he listed his mods... anyway i am thinking about going supercharged now... i have a 13b but it should be good nonetheless right?

 

soo cool more supercharged 1st gens FTW

 

Autozone and Schucks sell them here. I dunno which is better, but I do know Gates makes several different types of belts, you want their most expensive one.

 

So, yeah, as I was saying, stock mufflers suck for ANY purpose. (In fact, I'd probably extend that to any chambered muffler.)

We got the Borla installed today. Vids tomorrow when there's more light, I promise. Not only does it have more power and a much nicer sound, it's also quieter with less harshness. I must say, despite my misgivings about the build quality, it does do its job remarkably well.
