Anyone have the Borla rear section? (single/dual?)
 
If so, how do you like the sound? Is it very loud? Does it drone? Does the car feel like it has more power, or is it too costly for it's price?

I have the single. Makes the car a little peppier,but I am not happy with the sound. Inside the car sounds ok but outside really doesnt sound much different than the stock exhaust. I was looking for a more aggresive sound but not annoying but I guess with a 4 cyl I wont get that

Really? I've heard both dual and single on youtube and they both sound different (louder) than the stock exhaust......

I guess its different in person then.

i have the dual set up. its a lil louder than stock. in my opinion its not worth the 300+ dollars i laid down for it

I got the single pipe brand new on eBay for $123. Nobody was bidding on it so I put in a modest bid and actually won this thing. The tone is growly and is most heard when city driving. At highway speeds there is a very slight drone that is pretty much covered up when your radio is at a clear audible level. I can certainly live with it.

Here's a long and boring video from inside the car. Excuse the bed head - I had just gotten out of bed and decided to take this video.

lol. I saw your video and pics of the borla single and it helped me decide that I wanted one. I definitely don't want mine to be too loud. In fact if the Borla single was any louder I would take it out. I just wanted something that was a little noticeable over stock.

Once you get that eBay kit are you keeping the tip that comes with it? I had the ebay axle-back (same one in the full kit) and the tip it came with was pretty horrendous. I had it cut off and had a magnaflow tip welded on. It looked much better but was almost as quiet as stock. I think the full-on cat back will get you where you want to go. Good luck in your quest.

reppin duals.

swapped out the scuba tank for a flowmasster 44 and a highflow cat. did the trick. alot of drone though with windows closed.

check in my signature for my diy borla install.

I had the dual Borla for a while and got into a small accident, someone hit me from behind while coming to a stop, anyway they ruined my original Borla and I ordered a BRAND NEW one. The day I got my replacement Borla dual exhaust kit was the same day my air runner kit came in, once the air runner install was complete I noticed that the Borla would not work with my install so I went with a full custom dual exhaust from a local shop. The Borla is a good system, sounds good if you dont want it too loud. If anyone is interested I will sell my Borla dual exhaust that is BRAND NEW in box for super cheap . . . let me know if anyones interested
