Hello!

I read something and was wondering how many of you that have purchased Borla products did this. I called Borla and they sent me the following link. Has anyone done this?

How exciting! Just got an email and my Borla S-type Axelbacks have been shipped. I should receive them this Friday and Saturday have them installed

Thanks

 

I didn't drill any weep holes. I don't hear any water in there. I give them a little tap every so often and don't hear any water moving around. I dont think youll have a problem. You'll love the sound though for sure. They are awesome. Have the resonators cut out and weld in some 3" stainless, that really wakes em up.

 

Just curious why they would have you do this unless it's an issue and why some people and not others? And why don't they don't do it straight from the factory? I'm just going to leave mine alone. Hopefully like you i won't have issues.

 

My Borla's have not collected any water, but then again I don't do a lot of stop and go driving or long warm ups. Moisture in the exhaust only happens when the exhaust is is cooler, once it warms up you should not have the problem with water and should all blow out while driving or evaporate from the heat.

 

I didn't do it to mine.
Didn't open/read the instructions ... like true men do things, lol

 

I've had the S-Types on for almost all the 6500 miles on the car and have no issues. I wouldn't drill unless you have a problem and that was the only fix.

Enjoy!

 

I made this modification to my new S-Types. I wasn't sure if I would have water collection issues, but I use my Mustang in various ways and could end up with water in the pipes. I know, they're stainless, so what! It bugged me thinking that water could collect in the pipes at all, so I drilled them.

I strongly suggest if you want to do this, do it before you put them on! It would be a pain to do so afterwards.

 

I could imagine it being challenging drilling the holes once installed..... though about this and not going to drill the holes unless I have a problem. Thanks

 

Slightly related, I was driving yesterday and a 2013/14 with an aftermarket exhaust had water sloshing out of it when he took off yesterday. Better safe than sorry with the holes.

 

That's somewhat normal though. I've seen many cars spew water out the tail pipes under hard acceleration ...

 

Nope, didn't see those instructions and didn't drill holes!

 

Soooo bummed out. There's been a delay with Fedex delivering my order. Delivery is Monday now which means I can't have them installed until next Saturday the 21st.

 

That is definitely an aarrggghhhh moment.
Sorry to hear it.

 

I don't know if anyone has asked you to or not but please post a video of the before and after (seems to be too many crappy videos out there). Would help guys like myself who are stuck on the fence.

Thanks,

I thought about that.... yes i will

 

This is what you have to look forward to:

 

Seen any of mine? I even had a thread on here. Hmmm

Ahhhhhhhhhhh memories. You just made my day.

 

Watch Borla's video on their site or on YouTube. They show stock, Touring, S-Type and Atak, which is the fairest video of all since all four are recorded with the same equipment,

 

Hah! I watch that video daily now of my father driving my car. Can't wait for the warm weather.

 

Good point Kyle. As much good as mine sounds perhaps my video skills are not that good lol
