The off-road version may or may not be the same design that they almost started selling several months ago. I already had my order placed when they decided not to sell it because they realized that it wouldn't be street legal. That was when I went ahead and bought the HKS Hipower and customized my stock mid-pipe by removing the secondary cats. I would much rather have the Borla.

So the droning inside the car with the borla isn't bad?

Can we PLEASE get a recording of the exhaust inside the car? I'm really very interested in purchasing this. Its not so loud inside it rattles the car is it? Or if I have my stereo turned up it won't over power the music? I'm interested in slight sound a bit of performance.

Won't be doing any recording from inside the car. It just doesn't help any. As for droning, I promise you that it is almost non existent for the Borla exhaust. Yes you can tell it's not stock, but it's definitely not loud or annoying inside or outside the car.

Here's the inside, a 0 to 60ish clip for 45 seconds and then a 5-80ish clip for 30 seconds.

It doesn't record that well and there was a ton of wind today (high gusts in the area) but it'll give you an idea.

I'm not going to do an exterior since Caymandive's video sounds exactly like mine.

I think I'm going to have my install checked because I still get a drone intermittantly.

The video shows captions that clearly says the Borla exhaust is "off road".
