is the borla good for turbo's? hows it sound? is it dual exhaust? any good power increases? hows it compare to the RB?
Borla=loud, very loud

I have Borla, if RB was stainless when I did my exaust I would have bought it, now I am switching to the RB mufflers because they are made in

I'm seriously considering Hayes for my new engine, What problems have you guys heard about? I have two very strong recomendations for them, and have talked to Don several times myself and he has been really helpful. I'm going to have Bill at Auto World in Portland OR, install the new engine because I'm am not able to do it myself. Not mechanically inclined.

thanks

I have the Apexi duals on my FC. It looks damn good. I'm not certain how it compares to any other FC exhaust but I think it's cool. Once I get a digital camera, I'll post some pics.

Well, I'm good friends with a guy who worked for Hayes, and now has his own rotary shop. He said he would never buy from them, he gets his engines from Atkins. He said that now the just have a bunch of retards working there, and they don't hyave a clue. Other than that, I belive there is a guy over on the club who has had to have his new engine replaced 3 - 4 times because he had blown the thing 3 or 4 times (this was like a year ago), last I heard I think he was going to sue. I ran into a guy at Pacific Raceway who had taken his car to Hayes to have them figure out why his car was running like ****. They ended up charging him $1000 to replace the EGR, and I think one or two other things. He got his car back, and it didn't run any better. He then made the mistake of bringing it back there so they'd fix the problem. Well anothe $800 later the car still didn't run any better. He took his car to another rotary shop, they replaced a broken vac line, and adjusted the TPS, and the car ran fine after that. The list of bad Hayes stories goes on and on. Please don't go there, go to Atkins or Pineapple.
