Borla Straight Pipes?
I want a new exhaust but I dont have too much money to work with. I was thinking borla straight pipes! I want something aggressive and vicious that wont get me pulled over by the police while cruising at 45mph (maybe noticed, but not pulled over) Give me y'alls opinion!!

Ive got the Borla 12649 system on my vert, and they really arent that loud. honestly i ran no axle back system for a while with just dumps after the midpipe, and that didnt even attract police attention...
Get the Borlas, they are awesome

I have been thinking about dumping mine after the midpipe! Maybe I will do this and sell my b&b bullets to the op since hes in my area.

I haven't had any cops mess with me in houston for having a loud exhaust. Actually they have followed me into a parking lot to tell me it sounds good and has a nice lope!!!
I can tell you where to get cheap bullets brand new or if you want custom straight pipes I know an exhaust shop in conroe that will take care of you.

Be forewarned that the straight pipe catbacks will give you HORRIBLE cabin drone. I love a loud car as much as the next guy, but riding in a car with those pipes was painful at cruising speeds. If I were you, I'd go with a set of cutouts.
Personally, I'm running the Z06 ti's. Great bark when you get on it, no drone at cruise even with long tube headers and no cats. You can usually get a used set for not too much money. (And they will never rust out. lol)

Borla straight pipes here, and just like others say, they really aren't that loud (considering). Granted, when you floor it, they get nice and loud, but at idle and cruise, even normal accelerating, they just aren't that bad.
It's because the cats keep the exhaust pretty mellow.
