The price is right. I paid $375 shipped for my TRD which was too much, IMO. Oh well, I like the TRD tip better so I guess I got something for the extra $100.

i own the car that Borla used to design & test fit the rear section exhaust system. i have the prototype installed on my car. The exhaust is very quite on idle but when you accelrate past 3000 rpm.... u get a good exhaust note.

hear are some photos:



i'll try to create a video clip of the sound of the exhaust

BTW...Borla has developed a dual exhaust rear section system. i'm waiting if they decide to produce production. I've seen the prototype and was fitted on my car, i liked it and what to switch to dual exhaust.

It looks ok. I like the round rectangle tip on the TRD better. I'm curious to hear the sound though.

I'm going to wait until other companies release the exhausts. I wonder if Tanabe finshed the r&d for the xb exhausts...

hmm, u think its impossible for our xb's to expose the canister? I think mufflers look great with the canister, not with just some piping sticking out..

Just my opinion...

Anyone else notice that this exhaust is just a pipe that replaces our rear canister?

The Scion Mall of GA demo xB has dual exhaust with a body kit that surrounds the tips. Looks awesome!
