Im looking for an exhaust..i told my friend (who drives an 05 blk sti) that i wanted a more of a clean, nice sound. and he told me to get an borla exhaust...i heard it on the website, and thats the sound i want, just want some opinions on an borla exhaust

You're probably gonna want either borla or magnaflow. Or go Precision Muffler. They use the magnaflow resonator and tip.

 

I've got a borla axleback on my 07 and I really like it. It's not drony (sp) at all but you can still hear it. Stomp on the gas and you'll hear it. It sounds really nice - inside and outside of the car (I've been told). It is comparable to the TRD exhaust, except the Borla doesn't hang as low and can't be seen from the back of the car

 

I like the HKS Hi-Power and the Borla.I think they both sound great, but depends if you wann look stock or not... There are two versions of the Borla, one on trdsparks.com and the one from Borla...

 

The TRD exhaust is the best IMO. It don't sound like a weed-eater, it has a nice low rumble when started, while shifting, but gets a loud roar when revved up or slammed on while tryin to show off lol. Once again jus my $0.02.

thanks for the input guys

well again i have been asking many people what they think of my choice of borla, and like the info i got on here, i hear a lot of good reviews about it, what is this about the diff versions that they have of the exhaust?

and also im looking into axle back exhaust

 

Yea that's exactly like the Borla :D , it sounds f'n smooth.

As pinoyFMtC was sayin, there is the TRD Sparks Borla axleback one:

and then there's the Borla one:

The TRD Sparks exhaust looks like a custom pieced setup, AFAIK. They both probably sound good though

 

the trdsparks version will have a more noticeable tone than the actual one from borla.

the reason i say this is because i have had the magnaflow exhaust, which is identical to the borla exhaust, and it is very quiet, doesnt matter how you drive it.

however, with the trdsparks version, it will sound amazing, deep and a low rumble.


also, the AEM intake will not fit your car, because the 07 are different from the 05-06, make sure you get an 07 intake.

if you really like the AEM intake, just get the TRD intake, because it is the same exact thing, just overpriced.

 

sorry i forgot to say that i've got the trd sparks one..

 

thanks blackonblacktc, i didnt realize they didnt make an intake for the 07. so if i get the TRDsparks version of the borla exhaust..

i should get a trd sparks intake??


or is there any other good combos??

trd sparks most definately for the borla exhaust if that is what you choose to go with.

for the intake, you have many choices, well two haha.. the TRD and the Injen.

More are coming out, such as Fujita and thats all that come to mind.

MMW also has one out, but i dont trust their products so i do not recomend them.

Anyways, enough rambling.. for the best sound, get the injen intake w/ TRD Sparks Borla Exhaust

 

thanks
