Yes, I have advice. Replacing the rear section of the exhaust will not void your warranty. The Magnusson Moss Act protects you.

I just got the Borla "Aggressive" catback system installed, including x-pipe, and I couldn't be happier with the sound. Very deep and nice and loud. I don't like that they put their names on the tips, but oh well. I still love the new sound!

I agree, I just installed Borla Sports and they sound great. Loud and deep when you hammer it and quiet with a deep purr at cruise.

I had the stock mufflers cut off, and straight pipe welded in.

The local guys think it sounds great, interior drone is minimal-I just completed a 900 mile trip, some with the top on, and I had no issues.
Cost less than $100.

I went the low buck route a few months ago, since I planned on installing headers/full exhaust anyway.

Good Lord, Corsa Sport isn't loud enough? I have the Corsa Touring and that's as loud as I can stand it. I used to like really loud exhaust but I guess I'm getting old. Anything louder than something like the Corsa Touring sounds like an old Mercury Marine boat motor to me.

My exhaust scares Grown men when I blast by, and can be heard more than a half mile away!

That must make you feel proud.
No police in your town? No neighbors to be considerate of? Surely there are other motorists to be considerate of.

Loud is a matter of personal taste.

I agree that the Borla name should be removed from the tips as well. I did not realize we were going to be free printed advertising

Is this a Camry forum...? Last time I checked we have sports cars, and a majority of us modify them, make more HP, and as a result, well, they get a more aggressive exhaust note. Mine is really aggressive and, yes, I am proud of it. Police are not an issue before 10 PM, have you ever heard a Harley? And as far as neighbors go, when I come home late, I keep the rpms down and you can hardly hear a peep...


And as for me being inconsiderate of other motorists...??? Dude do you drive a Vette, or a Honda Accord?
