As soon as Borla gets the sound where they wanted I will post something. Otherwise, what I post may not be what you will hear on the production piece!

I had Borla on both my Lexus GS400 and GTO. Both sounded incredible outside, but had to sell them due to unbearable drone inside the car below 2,400 rpms. I see exactly the same muffler, but will wait to read actual reviews. Later.

I want to hear it. My Tundra had a Borla Exhaust and everybody said it sounded like a Mustang GT. It did.

Subject: Borla Website - General Question

Do you have any plans to release a exhaust system for a 2008 BMW 135i coupe? Do you have an est release date??

On April 3rd I got this:

Clayton,

Thank you for your interest in Borla Performance industries. To answer your question regarding an exhaust system for a 08 BMW 135i, at this time, we are in process of research and development. An Eta on when a system may be available for your car is 60 days.
Please check back in 60 days via our website www.borla.com. If you do a vehicle search by entering year, make, and model of your car, that is the best way to see if any new products are available. If you have any further questions you can contact me directly. My phone number and extension are listed below.

Thank you

The BMW exhaust is a cat-back system.
