How are you paying for Borla x-pipe with 2nd cat delete

Without afm? $700 for that? Really?

I'm currently in vendor hell where I paid for the axle back just over 3 weeks ago with no ship date in sight. I assume they're legit, but who knows? They gave me a little off what others sell (under $100) for but the trade off (I since learned) is they don't even bother ordering it for weeks when they do a large order. So me and others finance their business while they do whatever it is they do during every passing day, except even bother to initiate a purchase order for the products paid for while money gets spent on their business which doesn't seem to do much (certainly don't provide any status what so ever). So yeah, loving it. Great biz model. Lesson learned. Hope they come through this week.

Back to topic, are people really paying 600-700 for some pipes for the Borla x pipe?

Sounds like I should do a local fabrication route. I'm done with this crap. Chevy dealer service sucks and so far so do Camaro vendors. So different from what I'm used to. I hope other vendors vindicate this particular one.

I paid about $1500 for a full Borla Catback S-type without AFM and without NPP (11924; 60606) from Autoanything.com. Mind you I convinced them to give me 12% off coupon. I noticed that if you put all the products in your cart and walk away, soon after you will get an email with a special offer. The offer happened to be 12% one of the times.

I paid in full for the atak (11925) on march 27. No one had that item in stock in Canada so they ordered it in but borla is waiting for the valves so it will probably be 3 more weeks till it's shipped from Tennessee. So yea...it sucks waiting this long for an axle back.
Hopefully your comes through for you soon.

At least you know you have a supplier issue, this vendor just says my order is in process. Not my money - they have that, but their side of the transaction....in process.

It really is true. You get what you pay for. No regrets on my full Borla setup.

Starting to think it's the wait. When you're starving and someone throws you a cracker, you be like damn that's the best cracker I've ever had.

I ordered my Borla system from Phastek and had it at my door 4 days later.
