I plan on either buying a set of B&B bullets single tip for $500 or having my local muffler shop make me a set of straight pipe exhausts using the exact same design as the borla straight pipes. Has anyone done this and if so how does it sound. From what i have read the drone on the straight pipes is much less than the B&B bullets. If the price is the same or similar i will go with the B&B which will run me $600 installed do to me not being able to do it myself.

Mine is a custom straight....there is drone but its not terrible my pipes kinda give it a rumbling idle and when mashing the peddle gives it a exotic car sound almost with hints of muscle lol thats the best i can explain it....

Custom straight pipes here. Built off the Borla straight kit only difference is they use a 4 inch tip where I used a 4.5 inch. Sounds amazing really deep rumble getting up to speed but at 60ish no drone what so ever I can have a conversation with no problems. And did I mention how deep it was. I have 96.00 total in mine. 76.00 for the tips from oreillys and 20.00 at muffler shop to cut and build back out. Friend owns shop.

Yeah considering i was a friends shop that price is pretty mucy totally inaccurate from my experience....
@ OP
My setup ended up costing me installed everything about 350 but i switched.from quad tips to dual tips too so i had two less pipes technically thats really the only difference....and YOU WILL GET DRONE with straight pipes i notice it a lot of 60-70 it becomes harder to talk to friends in my car....my pipes werent built based off of a borla kit so i cant compare to those however it could be different...
Funny you ask about all this because im actually taking off my straight pipes in a month or two and going to be selling them to switch to a full exhaust system setup
Yeah everyone's reply will be different. Like I said I have no drone at around 60 u can here it but it's not loud inside car. I can carry in a normal conversation. But if ur burp the throttle it will growl really deep. But yes very noticeable drone at lower speeds say city driving. Imma a person that doesn't mind drone but sometimes I'm even like Jesus Christ. But anyway you have some great opinions now.
I thought the Borla "straight" exhaust had a small muffler ahead of the axle - was it called the XR or similar? Maybe that's what eases the drone of true straight pipes.
Not trying to steal your thread, but I have a question. I have Corsa exhuast from axel back. Can I remove everything from the exhaust manifolds including the cats to the Corsa exhaust and replace with staight pipes? Good or bad idea?
