Talking Awww SNAP!! borla exhaust "off-road" edition

I had to do it, cuz i GOTS to have it..i've been wanting an exhaust since this past thanksgiving. sooo...x-pipe design + no rear cats= my low bank account

I didnt do a baseline b4 i put it on bc i was too impatient. I tried to record some sound clips but you could not hear what it really sounded like. It is a very very deep rumble at idle. a good example of the sound is this clip with no exhaust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoMf0I01WFM during revving it is deeper
here are tha pics!!
full system


muffler


tip

That's some good stuff. I love borla. They make great sounding exhausts and their tips dont look like cans.

Nice exhaust, but for some reason Im still not fond of the Borla mufflers. I would buy it for the piping and change out the cans
