Default Borla aggresive exhaust w/x-pipe.

My take on it. I bought the car with this system. I would say this system is on the edge of civility, if you come home late at night you'll want to keep the RPMs low. There is little to no drone when cruising at Interstate speeds, but it is loud. It is fine for the weekend warrior and short trips, awesome even! If you are like me and drive every day, all day, and take trips in your car you might not like it, I have ear fatigue, even a little ringing after 6 hours in the car. FWIW YMMV. Oh, if you get a Borla get the good tips!!!

Hi Todd.

I've had mine for quite a while and I really don't think they're that loud (not like BB Bullet's). Maybe I'm just used to them now. And at times, I think they could be a little louder. Of course, to each his own and you do have a great exhaust.

BTW, how do you polish, up against the inside rolled edge. I'm starting to see a little build up and the buff ball doesn't get that close into the groove.

I'm using the buff ball and if it doesn't get the inside edge so be it, that's all the effort I'm putting into my exhaust tips.

I should state that as far as the noise goes I have 3 year old run-flats and the transparent top, I'm getting new tires on the rear and will report again after my drive from La to Ks.

I know what you mean. Only so much time to dedicate to the "minute" details, with all of the other details.

That will probably do the trick for you. Others outside hear loud from mine, but at times, I'd like it a little louder.

My neighbor was happy to see my C5 with Borla Stingers go!! My C6 has flowmasters but I'm hoping to upgrade to Borlas. I miss them

I've had my Borlas for about a year now and I really like how they stay subtle until you start driving aggressively. A good downshift really wakes them up.

If I ever get headers I'll sell my Stingers and get standard Borlas.
