Default Borla Rear Section Exhaust, Split Rear Exit

Anyone had any experience with this exhaust system? was looking at either bullets or borla stingers, but this exhaust appears basically to be the same thing as the B and B bullets only cheaper! I have been trying to decide on a exhaust system for the last month or two and havent read anything about this particular system. Am i missing something? Anyone using this system? Any feedback would be greatly appreicated!

Get the Borla Stinger Duel tip. I put them on my car and LOVE it. The sound is excellent and worth every penny.

With just the over-axle pipes, there are no mufflers. It's like an open exhaust. To hear what it would sound like, unbolt your current cat-back exhaust at the axle.

"Exhaust system". Straight pipes = Lots of attention-both good and bad. Guaranteed a noise citation

i actually put these on a few months ago...surprisingly they arent that loud at idle...you DO get that nice rumble though...on NORMAL driving it gives an AWESOME muscle tone, but isnt too excessive at all!! i was surprised as it IS a straight pipe...the thing is......when you do punch it...it SCREAMS like a....well....yea!!!!

i take lots of road trips and putting cruise control on at 77mph like around 2000 rpm....it is very subtle....just watch that pedal!!!

If you like you fillings buzzing out of your head and prefer re-torquing everything on the car every month or so, then go for it.

j/k they will be loud and the drone unbearable to some people. Maybe not you though.
