Borla needs your help...

This is Alvin Tolosa from Borla Performance Industries in California. Borla is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket exhausts for over 30 years. We are excited about the Smart ForTwo and we are developing an exhaust system and need your help. We would like your your styling or personal preference on this vehicle.

We have developed (2) exhaust tips and are asking for your preference of a split-dual tip or split-quad tip design:

Borla Split-Dual Tips


Borla Split-Quad Tips


We are developing this product and not selling it at this time. We value your feedback and appreciate your time.

I like the split-quad tips more than the other.

You should set up a poll function in your e-mail to avoid turning this into a 100-page thread.
If you did, I'd check the box for the quads.

Just to confuse things, how about a dual tip but center exit, a la BPP and DTH systems? The "dual exhaust" look just doesn't appeal to me on a 3 cylinder car.

Full disclosure: we have a Borla Stinger dual system on the Vette and it is great (and extremely loud!)

quad exhaust for me (ala Mercedes AMG-styled) as long as the tips come out through the bumper, and not beneath the bumper

How many tips do you need, it look's ridiculous with any more than one. This is a one liter 3 cylinder car, who are we kidding!
