Yes. Couldnt be happier with it. Nice and mellow cruisin around town, then when you step on it, it opens up with a nice deep rore. I've gotten many compliments on the sound.

Do you have any other exhaust mods, like headers, or s pipe?

I just have an Injen CAI. That will chnage the tone a little ut not much. Other than that, just the exhaust.

Sorry, i dont have pics and a buddy of mine borrowed my camera for about a week. It's subtle though. The tip is bigger than stock and you dont really see the exhaust when following from behind. Nice stealth look to it. You actually see less of it than you would if you had the TRD.

Also kind-of a pain to install unless you have a lift. I was trying to do it in my driveway with some jacl-stands, but its tough to get the stock exhaust of the rubber mounts. I went to a local shop though and they ut it on for me in about 15mins and only charged mme $40.

But again, very happy with the results.

I have the Borla as well... got it from the dealer. Sounds great, I love it... but I am getting rid of it to get the new Megan OEM catback and S-pipe to go with my new Alphawerks headers.
