Borla X-pipe video
I installed a catless Borla X-pipe in hopes of gaining a little volume and slightly more aggressive exhaust note out of the stock NPP. It delivered. Under normal driving conditions in tour mode it is no louder than stock. the video makes it sound louder because the mic is right next to the exhaust. From in the cabin though there is no difference. Once you flip it into sport or track though it sounds demonic. Its louder but no drone and it just sounds mean. Anyway, let me know what you think!

Just the procharger and X-pipe as far as power mods go. I absolutely love driving this car just how it sits.

Do it! I have another video at WOT through a few short shifts which I will upload tonight.
With the NPP its a great addition. Still quiet like a prius when you want it to be and quite mean sounding in sport/track mode. Make sure you ditch the cats to all of the sound you can. (No codes whatsoever when ditching the cats)

@97C5driver: Are you running the 2.75" X-pipe, I think it's Borla part no. 60547?
Been debating on livening up my NPP and your video may have tipped me over the edge.
