Sounds good at idle. Much deeper sound. You can definately tell the difference. Especially after a cold start. At WOT it's pretty loud. A lot of popping in second,third, and fourth on deceleration. There is a little resonance and drone at certain RPM's but I can live with it.

I had my Borlas installed about 2 weeks ago and I love them


My only disappointment is that I waited too long to get them........
