I know that videos cannot capture the same aural experience as in person, but it sounds almost the same as other videos with stock exhaust.

Overall, I absolutely love the exhaust, makes great power you can feel, really enhances the driving experience but just wished it a tad bit louder. I'm sure Sikky headers will solve that problem.

A little fun.. as you can see it's not very loud anymore.

You are correct itsmike, at WOT it sounds just a tad deeper than stock but otherwise it's not very loud.

The Borla cat-back is a very quiet system once 'broken in"

Definitely a wife approved exhaust system if that's what you're looking for. If you want the attention or more rumble for your bum, look at a JoeZ or ISS forged instead.
