Borla intercooled exhaust tips
Anyone thought about these/had them installed on their vehicle?

Intercooled? So the exiting air is cooled further just so it can exit to the atmosphere...
Wow, way too technical for me...

haha i think it is to prtoect the outer exhaust wall and valence from overheating on performance cars being pushed to the limit.

Sounds like a little bit of the ricer bs rearing its ugly head.
I see a lot of over improved exhaust tips, intake housings....you know. Sounds like fancy advertising rather than reality and function. |

They remind me of Borla's old styled exhaust tips. I thought the "intercooling" part was to reduce global warming.

It makes the exhaust denser, so it settles to the ground and doesn't bother people...

Doh. No wonder why they look Borla-ish. They are Borlas.
