I'll see if i can get some pictures for you. I am very happy with the sound, but the tips do sit low in the rear bumper and i am having trouble getting them set straight!

thanks.if you want as close to muscle car sound as you can get,i've found,this is the exhaust to get .a little loud in the car,but that's what the volume button is for on the radio!good luck.

i've got a corsa system right now (bought the car with it on). i'm coming from a twin turbo 3000gt vr4 with straight pipes which was about the meanest sounding car i've ever heard. This corsa set up is too mellow for me but i like the civility of it. Is the borla straight pipe set up loud cruising down the highway or does it drone? if it doesnt i think i'm gonna buy mine real soon. I'd really like it hear someones..anyone got a set in NC thats willing to let me hear em?

It is loud and there is a drone from 50-65 but above 65 it just goes away. I like them a lot but will sell the set I have If anyone is interested. My wife will not ride with me anymore. So I'm getting ready to go with a set of the Z06 TI.

They aren't bad at all while cruising...very quiet around 2k cruising. It does drone a bit but nothing you can't turn up the radio to hear or just listen to the exhaust. I love it, if i were in NC or SC i'd help ya'll out (and my car was out of the body shop). But then again that is one more reason to cruise the dragon...lol j/k
