We had a poker run/car show at Florence Toyota/Scion yesterday and they had a new XB with Borla duals installed. The dealer sticker indicated they were $499. They are just straight pipes with Borla tips. Sorry but I didn't think about getting a pic underneath.

I started it and it is pretty quiet with a pretty low tone. It didn't get very loud when I revved it. I didn't get to hear it moving. I think between 2 cats and a resonator there's not much sound left to muffle.

Installed yesterday, still needs some tweaking. Hopefully itll help you get an idea. I also have the AEM CAI, which is kinda loud and may be part of what you are hearing ??

Sparks has the borla dual exhaust for $350. I like the way it looks but it may be a little to load for me.

I checked out the Borla dual last weekend. It is not as loud as it sounds in that video.

eh, it looks like crap if you ask me. The style of the exhaust tips don't fit the rear or flow with the rest of the car, they stand out like a sore thumb.

Not to mention, you are paying $500+ for an exhaust kit with minimal gains, for around $100 more you can have a custom full exhaust, better gains and have it flow better with the car as well.

I have to agree. I love Borla as a company and have religiously used their products in the past, but this exhaust just doesn't look right. A flat-back vehicle with two big, round tips coming out the back..... i dunno, personal preference says "ewww".
