I want to put dual exhaust on my 2003 P.T (no turbo), Can you help me pick one?. I've been looking at the Borla exhaust.
Thanks the Grossman |

I've had the Borlas for about 2 years now. They're the Mopar version and I had them installed by my dealer (no warranty problems that way). I love 'em to death - they have a nice deep sound, but aren't loud enough to encourage the townfolk to chase after me with flaming torches!
Horsepower gains? Who knows? I can say that acceleration through the gears is much smoother with 'em - no hesitation at shift points!

I'd say to look long and hard at the BTG dual - it has a "Y" split to divide the exhaust evenly between left & right - the Bassani, Borla, ... "dump" all exhaust into muffler, then route "back" to passenger side. I have Bassani, revved side-to-side with friend's BTG - his wasn't lounder, but deeper & sounded better. Wyckoff Chrysler sells them - part number begins with BTG. I'd also stick with stainless - worth the extra $. The Borla, Bassani & BTG are all stainless.
I agree with Nova69, reduces hesitation, but I did AirAid at same time, so hard to say which contributed most. I'd also say that I'm convinced that a good single is at least as good as a dual on the PT - dual is for looks only over a single exhaust - my opinion.

I just took the Borla duals (2.5") off my PT. I had it for ~1 1/2 yrs. Great system. No drone, nice deep rumble, loved everything about it. Had to take it off because needed to go with a complete 3" system for my mods.
BTW, I will be putting it up for sale very soon, for a reasonable price.

I have the BTG cat/back system sitting under the Christmas tree, won't know for a couple of weeks how they sound but the feedback I have gotten is that they are very good. It kills me everytime I walk past that box, I am dying to install them.

BTG sounds like what I want as well. Anyone know the pricing on the parts, where is the best place, and how much/hard to install.

One more thing, even flow is the way to go. There is noting more discourageing then to see a car with duals and most the exhaust is coming out of one of the pipes more then the other. Just my opinion.
