Default BORLA Exhaust ??

Has anybody tried the full exhaust system BORLA makes? It has full mufflers? I have a Ti exhaust on my stock '00 coupe and it's not what I was looking for. I thought it would be a bit louder than it is. Not real thrilled about screaming around town all the time, so Loudmouths are not what I'm looking for either. I was just wondering how the BORLA system compares to the sound of the Ti's. Thanks for any help!!

my experience w/borla is it's probably what you want!they have a very nice deep rumble,but are not that loud.and when you get on it,they make a nice,aggressive tone.i had the stingers,now i run their straight pipes because i like loud!good luck

Much deeper at idle then the Ti's. here I'll put it like this.

I have a good friend with the same set up as I. 99 MN6 coupe, Blackwing, granatelli MAF, B&M ripper, LS1 Edit except he has Ti's and I have Stingers.

His car "screams" at WOT mine mine "yell's" loud enough that his scream is drown out. Is that good or bad? you decide.

When where together people always mention the "incredible" sounds my car makes they never say sh*t to him. I trap 114 he traps 112. He traps 114 in my car I trap 112 in his, so it's the car not the driver.

The bad part is mine has a VERY VERY noticable drone and from inside the car and is bothersome to many. I'm adding Headers and Xpipe next week. Hopefully that will cure some of the drone but honestly I have grown very used to it.

I'm not sure if you guys are talking about the same system I am. This is a full muffler system...kinda like the Magnaflow system. Thanks for the response!!

YUP!! No x-pipe, but it has the over the axle pipes, and full mufflers, not resonators like the stingers. It actually looks like a nice piece...but if its no louder than the Ti's...why bother!

I have heard this system before, it's very mild with a nice deep tone. I considered this system, but it was a little quiet for my taste. Love them Stingers.

The xpipe alone would have toned it down a bit, but if you adding LT
headers, they will noticably increase the volume and resonance.
