theres a vid link earler in this post

 

yeah but it sounds different in person. i vid clip makes it sound ricey

 

We have heard some sound clips now of the Borla dual set-up. I am not 100% sold on the "real life" sound of the exhaust based on you tube clips.

For you guys that have heard these exhausts in person, would you say rice or not? I want something that you can hear but not something that sounds like a civic trying to be a rocket.

Also, are there is any sound differences in tone and volume level between the single pipe vs. duals? I like the borla set up because I am not interested in having a giant can underneath and the borla's hide nicely.

Feedback and opinions will be grately appreicated.

is there any single exhaust sound clips of the borla exhaust.

 

I guess this topic is dried up.

 

i would say it is not rice

and i have not heard the single pipe but i know it is only 5db loulder then stock compared to the 9db that the dual is

 

Thanks for your reply and your video. Two other questions....

How much has the volume increased inside the cabin at normal driving speeds? This is a question my wife will ask. Also, does this install void any warranty from Toyota?

Thanks again for your help.

i honestly barely hear the exhaust from inside my car. at higher rpm i hear my intake more then exhaust. i was surprised how quiet it really is given the fact it has no muffler. sound clips dont do any justice to the exhaust. it sounds nothing like it in person. i love the sound. but i do wish it was a hair louder haha and trust me im not a fan at all with loud exhaust. i drive a lot of freeway and hate the sound of droning.

 

You guys do realize that this same sound can be achieved by simply going to an exhaust garage & having them fabricate a dual exhaust for you... correct? I mean, I'm not trying to put ya'll down, but why are you spending this kind of money on an exhaust that consists of nothing but stainless pipes & borla tips???? Hell, if it's the tip design that you like, then just buy the tips & let the shop put them on their custom setup for you. You'll save quite a bit of $$$.

The pipes aren't creating the sound you all seem to be enjoying... it's the scuba-tank resonator and LACK of a muffler.

 

true but then i would have to take the time out of my life and go there. and will end up costing 150-200 for just the pipes and bending it. another 70 or so for the tips so all and all roughly 300 + taking it to the shop. id rather spend a lil more have it shipped to my house. + i guess borla uses some type and stainless i dunno. i could care less

 

I gotta agree with Robox....


Sorry my cross eyed mod master.

 

whats the pipe diameter of the borla exhaust?

 

its 3-1/2 inches tall and 4-1/2 wide

 

no not the tips
the piping leading up to the tips
thanks

 

well just got mine yesterday installed 12am
haha
yea me and amigos weird like that
but love the look
and sound
cant wait to get headers and hi flow cat
to make it even meaner

 

yea i wanna do that and straight pipe that huge scuba tank in the middle. But i love the sound before that and its gonna get better

 

just to make it clear is there actually a Borla Muffler or its just piping that replaces the stock muffler?
I cannot tell. I just ordered my 08 xb but I do not buy anything aftermarket from the delaer I have a custom Borla exhause on my Matrix xrs and will always go w/Borla but I need to know if there is actually a muffler from Borla or just a piping.
Also I know that the stock piping is 2" what is the Borla piping 2.5" or 2.25"

 

so anybody know this is or not?
I need to find out what are the Borla kit pipe size
is it 2.5" or 2.75" or what is it anybody I cannot find that info on borla website?
