Default 2012 xB, Borla Dual or TRD single

Was listening on U tube. Borla sounds to loud for me. TRD is kinda quiet.

I'm thinking about getting a TRD exhaust.

Is there any drone inside the car at cruising speeds from the TRD exhaust?

If so, Is it that much louder than stock exhaust?

Any horsepower gain? If not, just stick with stock exhaust?

Thanks

borla really isnt that much loulder over stock,

gains with both i doubt are any more than 3hp

its more of a preference between if you want to see a single or dual pipe and the sound.

From what I've read, following the 'scuba', the real question is how the sound works for you, not the HP. The 'scuba' (resonator plus cat) pretty much defines what your exhaust is going to do. However, if you delete it, meeting emissions requirements is likely to be a problem. If that isn't an issue in your state, then I guess you can do pretty much whatever you like !
