Borla cat back price drop ??

[porkfarm]

I wanted a cat back system for my 05 STS V8, I almost got just the Corsa mufflers last year, but I wanted a cat back. Then this morning on Borla's web site, I see it for under 600. Best I could find on the web was 1200. I ordered it ,

140164 STS 05-06 4.6L V8 AT RWD 4DR S RD RL AC SR 2" 1 $594.50

This seems like the deal I was looking for ! Or is it too good to be true ?

Shows regular price $1400+ so it looks like a steal! - I have an AWD and apparently it will not fit or I would have also ordered a kit at that price.

WOW !! i have wanted to put exhaust on mine but couldnt justify spending 1500 bucks!
im gonna order it too!!

$800 for my Corsa cat-back so certainly a great deal.

Corsa makes a cat-back system ? I was looking at the corsa and it was about 800 just for the rear mufflers.

Got the STS4 also and I am planning on doing exhaust eventually here. Do you know if the Corsa one will fit? On Corsa's website it only says V8 only, nothing about AWD.

Borla's website show 2 different models... One w/AWD (Not Available) and the other RWD which is available. My guess is the under carriage is different with AWD so it would need a different system.. Guess just something else I loose out on.

But the Corsa's should fit .. They are just the rear mufflers. The install sheet shows cutting the tail pipe after the rear axle. I just went to the cora web site and I do not see anything for full cat back system, just the 2 rear cans. The gibson is for everything. That I could see not fitting the AWD.

Perhaps things changed. It's been a while since I bought my two.

Can't say what they are doing now but I unpacked the boxes myself and laid them out with the installers...

So Cat back means the entire pipeing? Will that improve performance, I really like whiat I've seen about the Corsa STS system though. The pic on the site shows some piping on it, but that doesn't go all the way? Says no welding? (not that I plan on doing this myself)

Yup. just cans for the Corsa. Check out the install documentation, shows you where to cut. Now check out the borla, no cutting. All the pipes from the cat back. Noticed that they have it on the "BLOWOUT" sale now. FED-EX tracker shows a Sat. delivery . I know what I am doing this weekend. Ok, after I replace the plastic gear in my garage door opener.. I will give a review when it is done.
