Huh?
Hi Peter just had a listen to the nice videos you posted re the New Borla X Crossover Pipe. Glad you are enjoying it. Just a little footnote for you. I had dinner with David Borla in Vegas last year just when they released the new style X-Pipe and he made mention that on the dyno their car after installing the pipe saw gains of around 20hp over the standard factory resonator. Here in Melb we have had a similar result after having had a car on the dyno before and after. Enjoy the new found sound. For any Mustang6G.com members in Australia who are after the same X Pipe we have another container of Borla products arriving in a few weeks and we can give you a super good price if you mention this post.

Maybe.....but with the demise of DPE where else do we go? For what its worth my American Exhaust - AWE is a remarkable piece of engineering, delivers great sound/volume and no drone. I think even Harrop have now moved to a third party exhaust supplier. It's the real dilemma for Mustang owners who want to enhance their car with Australian only products. It is very challenging to do.
Bagration I have been in the performance industry here in Australia for over four decades and have seen the rise and fall of our Australian manufacturing industry. The aftermarket industry here in many ways has itself to blame as company's like HM Headers etc grew and then decided its cheaper to go offshore to places like China. You then have the advent of X Force who claim to be Australian. They are in fact Chinese owned and manufacture in China. I have looked at manufacturing here, however in using a top grade US 304SS (not the cheap so called Chinese 304SS) it is near impossible to find pipe benders capable of producing mandrel bends in the sizes required. Years ago I used a spring manufacturer in Sydney that used to make Performance Valve Springs for me, they also made them and exported them to the USA for Comp Cams, Crane etc in those days, they are now gone because of the car industry shutting down. My choice for top quality components such as Headers being ARH and KOOKS and Borla Exhausts is the USA and only from established company's who are still family owned as they stand behind their product and their reputation. Yes Harrop do not make their own exhausts. They were using HM for many years as Ron Harrop was part of the original HM (Head Mod) group. I grew up in the 60s about 200 meters from the original HM workshop in Doncaster here in Melb.
Thanks Fred. That HP increase sounds like a good added bonus to the new sound, not that I have noticed it. I plan on making a couple of drive by sound clips this weekend if I can find a deserted area nearby as well as a quite mode start up for an interested US forum member.
All of the above is why I come to you for the components that are bolted to my mustang (Coilover kit, cold air inlet and bars). That and the awesome service. And I tend to think that we are actually in agreement.
