Default Borla S + LT

Who runs Borla S with catted LT headers? I was wonder would this be wise to put on a DD? Im young and dont mind some noise but to much could drive some one insane. So what do you guys think Borlas and LT a nice set up?

I'm running Borla Stingers, and LG Pro Long tubes, with no cats. It's a little loud for me. However if you're leaving cats on it, it may tone it down enough.

My car is a daily driver and it was a great combo for ME. No louder IMO than the NPP system when open, just a deeper, cleaner sound. They also popped like crazy on decel which I loved, but some hate. I did not find it too loud at all. However, when I had the cam installed it was a very different story and they were removed as quick as I could get to an exhaust shop. I had cats by the way.

If you don't mind the noise, go for it!

Here's some clips of mine...

One of it in action. Captured on the race track from another driver's car. Will give you an idea of what it's like on the road...

my wife had no complaints. She actually thought it sounded great. If you even intend on putting a cam in though, think twice. It sounded like 3 harleys combined.
