Vehicle is stock, except for a Green filter...
As I fully expected, Borla delivered on sound quality and fit and finish. I've had various aftermarket exhausts on numerous vehicles over the past 30+ years and Borla, while expensive, has always been faithful to their "no drone" claim and the sound quality is as good as any, IMHO. Granted, I'm way past the days of "straight pipes" and trying to be the loudest kid on the block.
I have no sound clips, and they won't do most of us any good. The one Borla provides is quality, and better than anything i could post. Honestly, I think the stock exhaust sounds good for OEM. The Borla S-type just takes what is good about the stock sound and bumps it up _just enough_. Start up crackle is nice, and I now get a nice crackle/burble on downshifts (I run in Custom Mode with Trans setting in Track). WOT is loud, but in a good way... as it should be. It's not ear-piercing loud; just sounds good, like you're indeed going full throttle. Cruise is where Borla shines, too... if you were getting in a TH for the first time, and never jumped on it hard, you would think it is a great-sounding OEM exhaust. I know its there because I've had the vehicle for a year, but otherwise, it is not intrusive into the cabin _at all_. Part throttle acceleration provides a deeper tone than OEM, but at cruise rpm (1800-2300) it is very pleasant and no reverb noise in the cabin.
Good job Borla.
They don't have tips for these yet, so I reused the stockers. They stick out about an inch more than OEM. I like it. It looks aggressive.
Next up... lowering springs... probably in a few weeks.
