I hate to bring this thread back from the dead after so many months but I felt obligated to comment. I just spent my entire lunch break eating at my desk so that I could read this from start to finish.
This is hands-down the single most informative and useful ISF thread I've read since getting my car a few weeks ago. 16 pages with no mud-slinging and no hijacks, just awesome information and insanely thorough and detailed comments.
So thanks very much (everyone but especially caymandive) for taking the time to contribute like this to the community. I know a lot of people appreciate it very much!

Pole Position
Sound:
The Borla is quieter than the PTS JoeZ, meaning it doesn't sound as wicked, but the Borla still has a very deep tone, no rasp and it's definitely overall louder than stock, but the biggest difference I noticed is the Borla doesn't drone and I can actually drive around in auto-mode comfortably. I guess I could sum it up by saying the Borla sounds pretty darn good and is comfortable, while the PTS JoeZ exhaust sounds wicked good, but was uncomfortable to drive (without-cats).

Way to loud is a stretch.... It's louder than a joe z without headers or a borla with headers. But I use my Bluetooth phone just fine and car conversation is not an issue. I just run the car in manual, one gear up. Above 2500 under vacuum the exhaust is honestly quite. My dad went for a ride in my car a couple months back and could not believe how quite it is for being a "race exhaust" set up.

Yeah the issue for me was I didn't want to have to always drive around in manual mode above 2500rpm to avoid the heavy drone/resonance. With the Borla and Headers it's comfortable all the time. I have to admit I do miss the sound of the Headers and JoeZ exhaust at times. It's the best sounding combo out there IMHO.

It's been awhile, but I am back and have some exciting updates to my F! As you may have noticed, I've been fairly quiet for the past year. Well this was mainly due to SIKKY having had my car for R&D, but the car is now complete. More details will be coming shortly and will include "Dyno proven results", but I can tell you the headers are Gorgeous!!! These new headers have been proven to produce more power than both the original SIKKY headers and the current PPE headers. In fact even in 100 degree shop temps and with the addition of my new GESI Cats, my car is making more power (top end) than it did in the past! Until more detail is released by SIKKY, enjoy the teaser shots below!
