I called muscle motors and they said they'd shipped the tracking labels to borla (a while back). Earlier this week MM said they contacted borla and said the exhaust were done and were waiting shipping. BUT they weren't certain cuz their borla rep was on vacation... i'm not trying to be impatient but i ordered and was charged the exhaust over a month ago and haven't been updated by MM until i called them... well i think i talked enough.. i'll just wait a bit longer.. (at least the sho y-pipe is here) Merrick

Borla is on.
A couple of tips. If you don't want to lie in the drive way and bang and curse the exhaust bolt gods, take the car down to a independant muffler shop and have them replace the studs and nuts that connect the cat to the cat-back. For 30 minutes of my time and $20, I figure it saved me a couple of hours of banging and brused knuckles.
I didn't seem to get any instructions, but one tip. They send an extra hanger. My SVT exhaust didn't have a hanger at the rear Y even though there is a hanger bracket there. The Borla does.
Put the hanger on the car first. It is impossible to get the hanger on the car if it is attached to the exhaust, and being a new hanger, it is nearly impossible to get it back off the exhaust pipe once you put it on.

Personally, I *am* becoming impatient!
When I spoke to M&M July 3rd, they said Borla would be shipping them the next week. Since I was out of the country from then until now, I had to work out elaborate procedures with UPS to keep them from either (a) leaving the exhaust system sitting, unguarded, in my driveway, or (b) sending it back to Borla. Imagine my surprise when I got home, two weeks later, and it hadn't arrived!
The worst part is, M&M is so hard to get a hold of, and even when we do, they just feed us BS!

How long did it take before you recieved your exaust? Is it still available? Do we have to order in pairs? Anyone want to go in, I think I'm ready.
Thanks,
Justin

It took 6 weeks or so for mine to arrive, but there were a half-dozen ahead of me.
I replaced the Y-pipe at the same time. Sounds great! The pipes look cool too. More mid-range to high-end power.

Is this exhaust going to fit non-SVT contours? I don't see why not but The Borla site only lists the SVT for it. Also, Is this still open for more buyers?

How long did you guys have to wait until you got your exaust? I heard MM's was kinda slow, either that or Borla was? I'm trying to get another GB going and was going to ask MM's about there pricing.
Thanks,
Justin
