The Borla story

Borla Performance Exhausts was founded in 1979 in Southern California as a small shop machining custom exhaust pipes for race teams. Today, Borla is owned by Tenneco and produces millions of feet of stainless steel tubing annually. For European performance platforms, Borla has engineered systems for BMW M3/M4, Porsche 911 Turbo and GT models, Audi RS3/RS4/RS6, and Mercedes-AMG C63/E63/A45. Each system is designed to work seamlessly with emission standards while maximizing horsepower and torque across the powerband.

What makes Borla exceptional is engineering transparency and build quality. Every exhaust uses 304 stainless steel internals with hand-polished muffler designs, mandrel-bent tubing optimized for flow without unnecessary drone, and dyno-verified performance gains. Their S-Type systems deliver a distinctive, aggressive tone at full throttle while remaining civilized at cruise—qualities European sport car owners appreciate. Thermal shielding protects underbody components in modern platform designs. Every system comes with a lifetime warranty against rust-through and clogging.

At Foreign Automotive in Kitchener-Waterloo, we install and tune Borla systems on BMW M, Porsche, Audi, and Mercedes platforms regularly. Our MAHA dyno allows us to verify flow improvements and calibrate ECU tuning to unlock the full potential of your exhaust system. We serve customers from Cambridge, Guelph, and across the GTA. Every installation is backed by our 24-month labour warranty, expert fitment knowledge, and performance verification.

Borla — frequently asked

Common questions from Borla customers across Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and the GTA. Don't see yours? Call us at (519) 894-9551.

Is Borla louder than Magnaflow?
Borla's S-Type is noticeably louder and more aggressive-sounding — the distinctive raspy tone at full throttle is part of its appeal. Magnaflow tends to be mellower. Both are high-quality. If you want that unmistakable Borla tone and don't mind heads turning, S-Type is the way. For a quieter, more refined note, Magnaflow is the better choice.
Will a Borla exhaust pass state/provincial emissions?
Borla cat-back and axle-back systems retain OEM catalytic converters and meet EPA/CARB emissions standards, so they pass Ontario Drive Clean and MTO inspections without any issues. If you ever go full-header or cat-delete, that's a conversation for tuning — we'll advise before you buy.
What kind of horsepower gains will I see?
On most platforms, expect 8-15 hp and 10-20 lb-ft torque from a cat-back alone. If you pair it with a header or downpipe, gains increase to 20-35 hp depending on engine. The real benefit most owners report is responsiveness and mid-range torque — the car feels more alive.
How is Borla different from other stainless exhausts?
Borla uses hand-polished internals to reduce turbulence and dyno-tests every system. Their lifetime rust warranty is among the best in the industry. Most competitors don't polish their internals or offer comparable warranties. Quality and longevity is where Borla earns its reputation.
Do I need a tune with my Borla exhaust?
No — a cat-back system is completely bolt-on and doesn't require any ECU work. If you add a header or downpipe (which we also install), a tune will help optimize fuel and ignition curves for the new flow, but the exhaust alone is plug-and-play.
Will the Borla interfere with lowering springs or coilovers?
Borla systems are engineered with clearance in mind, but suspension height, ride height springs, and ground clearance modifications all matter. We'll assess your specific setup (lowering springs, coilovers, splitters, skirts) before installation to make sure the exhaust clears everything.
What's the warranty on Borla exhausts?
Borla offers a lifetime limited warranty against rust-through and clogging on the stainless parts, plus a 2-year warranty on muffler internals. We'll handle any warranty claims on your behalf if ever needed.
Do you install Borla for customers outside Kitchener-Waterloo?
Yes — we ship Borla systems across Canada and install for customers from Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, Burlington, Mississauga, and the GTA. If you're local, book your installation and we'll have everything prepped. If you're out of province, we can arrange nationwide shipping.
