  • Im so pissed.. thunder racing... borla.... GRRR

    Ok, well heres the deal

    I got a Borla catback from thunderracing.com.. it comes and it's slightly bent and screwed up, but we fixed it with a hammer

    a friend and I installed it, it rattled really bad, so I take it to Meineike which is a reseller of Borla, and has their stickers and crap all over and they say borla just fits sh*tty and they can't do anything.

    So, today I take it to West Cost Mufflers, which is a reputable place to have performance exhaust done. They tell me that the exhaust system is defective, and the tips and sh*t are higher than the others, and all this other stuff, they said to call Borla and send it back. They've been there for a long time, and everyone who has a performance exhaust system goes there, they know what they're doing.

    So I call thunder racing and this chick on the phone tries to tell me that only their little shop in louisianna knows how to install these systems, blah blah blah these guys install probably twice as many exhaust systems a day as they do, and probably have 3 times more knowledge about exhausts systems and cars in general as she does. So she's gonna try calling borla and says I'm gonna have to take my exhaust system off, and send it it which will cost a f*cking fortune, and have no car for who knows how long.

      I'm thinking of getting a magnaflow, I talked it over with the guy at west coast mufflers, and he said they fit and sound great, so I'll probably buy one of those and put it on, then try to get my 600 bucks back from that POS borla, or sell it.

      I can't believe no one on this board has never mentioned that Borlas don't fit worth SH*T. He said all kinds of people come in with the same problem and he tells them the same thing, he wrote it down on paper for me too.. I'll sue the f*ckers if I have to.

          b/c that isn't the problem, I just mentioned that for the hell of it, it was slightly bent at the opening, fixed it in a matter of minutes.

                I don't think you can have it fixed, I've tried twice. They both took it right off the lift, and said they can't fix it, and it just fits like **** and to return it. Im gettin a spintech, **** borla
