Just took delivery of the WK2. Overall, incredible vehicle as noted by many before this one.

What is a bit different here, is that Borla just installed the prototype catback last week, and it immediately grabs your attention. It's Business Time.

I was also a bit stunned by the guts this thing has, either the test drives were forgotten, or it has extra ginormous Borla Ballz.

If you are interested in some of this special sauce, strongly encourage you to call Chris Higgins or David Borla at Borla R&D Oxnard, CA. Those guys love what they do.

More later. Turn it up.

That sounds great, nothing like what Borla could come up with for the WK..

Thanks guys. I literally have only driven this thing 3 miles, so no other feedback yet. I'll get both streetside and interior cabin WOT clips up soon.

Chibianh, this is not the ORII, so can't comment on the fitment with plates. I'll add skids around the exhaust where possible next spring, and will be installing the tow hooks this weekend. I'll try to take a photo when the rig is up on a lift for winter rubber.

Smoove and JH, Borla did not recommend the alternatives of Touring/S Type/ATAK for the Hemi as it needs it's own exhaust tune to mitigate droning while cruising under 4 cylinder mode. David Borla sound tuned this proto himself, as he evidently does for every new system.

In the little i've driven the vehicle, cruising speeds have no real droning intrusion, both idle and moderate speeds give a low growl that is fine for phone or moderate volume music, and WOT squeezes the beejeebus outta your brass monkeys.

exhaust Installation is pretty straightforward-it's just plumbing, after all. Cat-back exhaust systems will supply you with the hardware (nuts, bolts, and gaskets) to bolt it together. A car lift is the optimal way to maneuver underneath the car, but not many tuners have one in their garage! Typically, you only need to get the rear of the car up in the air enough to get the job done; just don't forget to support your ride with some quality jack stands. NEVER work under your ride supported only by a floor jack! Installation is basically unbolting your old exhaust system and replacing it with your new cat-back. If your new performance exhaust is properly designed, it should use all the stock mounting points and exhaust hangers. If you have an aftermarket rear bumper, things can get a bit hairy, though you may need to adjust or change the location of the exhaust tip to fit your bumper.
