Default Borla Touring?

Does anyone have a video or a sound file of the Borla Touring System? I am torn between that system and the BB Route 66 System. If anyone has heard them or has them please voice your opinion. Thanks -

All members that I know that got Borla Touring or Rt 66 were not happy with the sound. Sound clips are useless. There are too many variables, like recording Vol, mike capabilities, recording medium and speaker quality. Best bet is to go to a meet & hear them for yourself.

My best picks:
1. Borla Stingers (deep rumble)
2. Corsa Sports (higheer pitched more Farrari like)
3. Magna Flow (by far the most cost effective <$300)

good luck

I have Borla on my Tahoe and love the sound. Just didnt know if the Borla Stingers would be to loud and how bad the drone would be inside the cab.

I was leaning that way myself, but I think I'm going to get the Magnaflow 15884 system after reading about it here.

Thanks for supplying that link...very well done. Enjoyed comparing it from inside, outside, running through the gears (nice touch showing the RPM's) and from launch.

Great link - but i still have no idea now. Great - i think this is the hardest thing to buy for the Vette. I feel this is harder than picking out the color and options when i was ordering the car. Gees - i have no idea.

Cool link. Nice to be able to compare inside the car and out. I actually expected the Borla's to be louder, both the Borla's and B&Bs seem pretty mellow, but I like the Borla's better between the two.

I had a Touring System on my C5...too close to the stock sound - what's the point??? Now I have the GHL 1st generation on the C6. 14,000 miles, and I still love the sound.

I had the Borla sport on my A4 and found too much drone (cabin resonance at 1600RPM) Loved the sound at WOT but as a daily driver the drone got tiresome. Switched out to the touring and they are just perfect to me. Great sound at idle and WOT but not too intrusive the rest of the time. Of course, diff'rnt strokes or YMMV applies to any subjective preferrance like this. Wife even approved and likes them over stock!
