Borla Switchfire 2019 GT review

[Matthewstorm]

Stopped at the shop and my car is done..springs and headers are installed. Got in and fired it up..and holy moly. Let it idle down, and walked around the back to talk to the owner of the shop and his tech got in and hit the throttle..I was not prepared..bout blew my ear drums out lol. If I could describe it in one word..amazing lol. The Kooks mated to the switch fire just fine, he kept it level but it pulled the switch fire down at the front where it connects to the kooks..since the longtubes are well longer and closer to the ground..he told me there are some clamps I can loosen to try to prop it up a bit more, he just preferred it level even with the switch fire dropped a bit...I might do that not sure yet.. for reference my setup is now Kooks w/green cats to switch fire straight back to the stock active mufflers. I'll get a clip tonight after I get off work and head to pick it up.

I just ordered the Switchfire and Steeda coolant tank. Having installed next Friday.

It sounds like you are going to have a lot of parts waiting for your car. I know the feeling lol

Dude, I have a whole stack of audio parts. And I'm still getting up the nerve to click 'Order' in my Steeda cart.

Man, I know what you mean. All of my friends told me I was crazy....well they still do. They couldn't understand why I replaced perfectly good brakes and rotors and now tires that only have 8k miles on them. lol

Oh, yeah, forgot the Nitto N555RII I'm getting. After 1200 miles on the Pirelli.

 

[m3incorp]

lol those Pirelli would have to go first. Mine were replaced immediately after getting home from the dealer.

Well, mine are getting replaced after getting home from the dealer, also. After 1200 miles. Ha.

Your drive is a bit further than mine was. I was lucky and sold mine after a year for $700 for the wheels and tires...nobody seems to want them lol

 

[Matthewstorm]

Which wheels did you get?

 

[m3incorp]

I have the Velgen VF5. They are some of the lighter wheels in a 20".

I have this mid pipe as well. I'd say the loudness is a pretty good balance. It does wake up a ton on throttle. It has a h pipe sound in the lower rpm range and a x pipe in the higher rpm range. It makes for a Unique sound for sure I'd buy again and would definitely recommend. Also build quality is top notch which I liked.

Thinking of getting one of these on my GT. Any more feedback or Reviews?

Absolutely a great sounding and Performance enhancing pipe.

Video from inside the cabin with open windows. Stock active exhaust, switchfire and ESS Tuning Supercharger.
After installing the SC the sound at high rpm improved a lot , it became less raspy and more throaty.
