Default Borla Help

I cannot tell from the website and my cheap pc speakers but which system is the louder Borla system, the ATAK or the S-Type?

Was thinking about going with a full header, x-pipe exhaust and keep the stock NPP exhaust but now thinking I might just go with an x-pipe and cat back to replace the NPP to get the sound I want and not have to re-tune?

Borla's "S-Type" exhaust systems are aggressive and throaty throughout the RPM range, with a warm note that lets people know you're coming. The "S-Type" systems are for people who want to hear an aggressive note throughout the entire RPM range that is warm and throaty.

Borla's "ATAK" systems are highly aggressive and are not for the faint of heart. The patented "ATAK" design allows Borla's engineers to provide a dynamic and energetic note at a high decibel level. The exhaust note of the "ATAK" is tighter than that of the "S-Type" and the overall volume or decibel level is louder.

You can see their little "sound gauge" on the product listing http://www.borla.com/products/c7_cor...rt__11856.html
