Borla Dual Exhaust Installed

Tong Lu · February 1, 2016

I had the single straight pipe on the truck for a few months now and I wanted to put a muffler on in preparation for Long Tubes. Went with Borla Dual in Dual out muffler and it sounds amazing. I see people on here that bought the Borla GM cat back for over 1000 bucks, my set up cost 170 for muffler and 2 18 inch black tips from Amazon. Took it to a muffler shop, had them chop off the Y and ran duals to the muffler and out the back for 200 bucks. Here's a clip, took it from my phone so it is very quiet compared to in person.

Sounds good, and a lot cheaper!

Muffler is Borla 400286 and I will try getting a better video. My wife hates loud exhaust and did not want to participate in the "doucheyness".

I went with this muffler because it's basically an X pipe on the inside, no chambers or anything, you can look straight through from one end to another. Prepares the truck for long tube headers down the line.

Sounds good, how about v4 mode though and Im sure that was mild steel and crush bent. Like comparing apples and oranges really.

Out of pocket for the borla gm exhaust here is over 1500cdn. I had it thrown in to my weekly payments and added under 5 bucks a week to my payments. Probably the only way i would put the gm borla on. Something to consider for the guys who haven't purchased yet. Southh of the border it probably affects your payments by less than 3USD. Just sayin.

But you are still paying for it no matter how you look at it and if you add it to your loan then you are paying interest on top of that.

Oh you did the same thing with Z71 option, it was an option, this exhaust just happens to be a dealer add on. This isnt a good argument unless you paid cash for your truck.

I don't know if we are talking about the same thing. The guys says if you can't afford to pay $1000+ for an exhaust then just have it added to your payments. I did pay cash for my truck like I do all purchases but if you think $1000 is too expensive then why add it to your loan?

Sorry I didnt mean to call you out on how you paid, more an example. Most people finance a car and dont pay cash, awesome you did though.

My point is its splitting hairs on paying interest on dealer installed options vs factory options. He has a good point, if you want that exhaust and havent bought a truck yet this makes sense. Have the dealer add it for 1000 like any other option box people check. No difference. When people finance a vehicle they finance all the options too.

Financing a dealer installed option is no different then checking the z71 box, max tow, etc factory options. Id bet you can get dealer to bend on the exhaust price to sell a truck too.

On a side note, you will be able to resell that exhaust at any point for 800 plus I guarantee it and probably get stock one in return if you wanted. Nice stainless mandrel bent exhausts hold value very well. Especially one like the GM Borla it seems most everyone would want. Itll get even more valuable when they stop making it.

I found it way easier to pay an extra 5 dollars than come up with the 1600 bones. I look at this way, i don't have 70k in cash laying around but, i can afford to pay $xxx/ week for a loan. So i can get a loan for the All terrain SLE over the SLT and still afford to put the hood deflector, mud flaps and GM borla on the SLE for less than a bone stock SLT. I don't get lane departure warning or heated steering wheel or full leather seats but hey, i can stay in my lane, the steering wheel doesn't get that cold and i'm not into leather. So, good trade as far as i am concerned, Added a bed mat, AFE momentum and BB tune with the $1000 dollars i did have laying around. There, truck complete. Has 99% of the factory options i wanted and 100% of the dealer installed/aftermarket toys i wanted. And my payments are manageable. I set a target payment and built my truck to it. And i took home the factory exhaust with 21 miles on it.

I want the borla single in dual out for my 2016 chevrolet silverado. Is this 3 inch a 3 out and should I open the flapper and delete the resonator? Also, does Borla make a single in dual out muffler? I want it to sound like my z06 corvette with borla. My cousin did this to his 14 silverado and said it sounds good. Just want to know what to tell muffler shop and find a good shop that can handle this job.

Part of what you are paying for with either the gm borla or just Borla cat back is quality 304 stainless mandrel bent piping. It is a rarity to find either of those from a exhaust shop that cuts up your stock system and then installs x brand muffler. Having stainless pipes means no going back in 5 years when the steel rusts out or having pressure bent pipe that robs power. Granted all most cat backs to is add noise, even a good quality system like Borla doesn't add enough power to be felt.

I went to a shop in ct who was charging like 400 ish for an install and they said that it would rust out in 3 years. if I am keeping the truck for the long haul then it makes no sense to pay every 3 years because winter chews it up.
