Default Did my borla die?
so i revved my car pretty hard on neutral and after i could not hear my borla exhaust. it sounds as if i still had the stock exhaust in there. has this happen to anyone. i also feel a power loss. could a blown turbo make my exhaust quiet down? any ideas will be helpful. im going to try to vag my car today to see if it helps.

doubtful. exhausts really aren't that fragile...if your turbo was gone you would know it.

Was it loud in neutral before? You won't get the same pressure as when you're on it in gear

Default I've never heard of an exhaust giving up and becoming quiet...
they normally get really ****ing loud like a lawn mower or a go-kart. Something else might be wrong.
