Default Custom Exhaust Opinions please

ok guys, I'm new here, but I've been browsing the forum for over a month now, I've researched about exhaust and came down to single borla exhaust, however, after looking at the pics, it just seems like its piping and a tip at the end so i went to the local muffler shop
my question is if i run 2.25 piping from the resonator and put a tip at the end, would it be the same? also, how would it sound? im looking for a deep tone where cruising around the city, would be quiet and when i step on the gas, it gets loud, let me know guys, thanks...

Yes, it would be the same, and it would basically sound the same as a Borla single. Do a search if you want to know how it sounds.

I used to have the Borla dual exhaust and it sounded pretty decent. quiet, but more muscular sounding than stock. I now have a custom 2.5" dual exhaust from resonator back. Its a lil louder than the Borla and a lil deeper. Unless you go with headers or cut out the resonator it will still be pretty quiet. You can feel the difference in air flow with the Borla, with the custom I would say is almost the same as with the Borla. Go with custom, its cheaper and sounds a lil better
