Default borla

installed mine about 6 months ago. LUVVVV the sound. Soooo much better. Took about an hour and a half on a lift. No big deal. I did heat up the one pipe to help remove the old exhaust. Kept the front cats and removed the rears. I agree about 20% louder.

Just a word of caution here . . . people perceive sounds very differently. What may be perceived as "no drone" by one person will be perceived as an annoying drone by someone else.

True all us perceive sound differently but my car sounds exactly the same while cruising on the streets or on the highway as the oem x pipe did . If I get on it big difference in sound. I know exactly what drone sounds like Borla x pipe does not have a drone.
