Here are some sounds from the Bazooka exhaust on the track this weekend:

You guys probably already knew this but you get only one shot at reving the car in neutral while rolling (if you get to rev close to redline). That kinda makes tunnel videos sucky. Anyways, nothing was wrong, just my ignorance. Exhaust is awesome.

I wasn't aware of this...won't you cause stress on the transmission gears?

Maybe I missed this over the last year or so. But just noticed on the site, you can order a borla exhaust, which this adapts too. Or you can order the bazooka, and then opt for the "full exhaust" which states is similar but not the borla. It says to see the second pic but there is none of the "full RR" system.

Is this mid pipe a replica of the borla design minus the merged resonator? If so is it available by itself?

Since I've installed something similar, I figured I would add to the thread to keep it on topic. I tried the magna flow RR racing tip exhaust, but was unable to make the tips fit, thus I ended up straight-piping the muffler portion of my borla but leaving the stock tips(the RR Racing wouldn't fit with my tom rep diffuser), making it a cheap version of the Bazooka albeit with a slightly different resonator. Loudness, it's there, but with a good gnarly sound like most any pony car with an exhaust. Certainly more throaty, and in traffic when it's decelerating and has some back pressure, a light touch of the throttle results in a pretty nice pop/backfire. Drone is there, but not much more so than the Borla stock cutback which already drones to me. It's still well worth it, and it's very capable to carry on a conversation on the phone or in person. I wouldn't feel out of place taking a client out as long as the revs are under 2500(easy enough with the V8). On the highway, there's no drone unless you give it 50% throttle while keeping it in a taller gear. In some ways, it's less drone than the regular Borla, especially when decelerating. I've since put about 1k miles on it and have a feeling it's gotten quieter. I will say this, I absolutely hate drone, but I love the exhaust now and get thumbs up nearly daily so I really don't mind it. Even the fiancee has approved it after it's calmed down a bit within the first few hundred miles.

Before doing the muffler delete we contemplated simply having a dump exhaust, where it just points down right after the resonators, but the sound was too much in the center of the car, and it was louder as well. The Borla muffler delete/bazooka now seems perfect for me. I would have loved to fit the Bazooka with the shiny tips, but I think only the Wald diffuser would allow them to fit.

To put on a scale to better clarify:
Stock exterior loudness: 2
Stock interior loudness/drone: 2
Borla catback exterior loudness: 4
Interior: 4
Borla Muffler delete exterior: 7 (10 being fully straight pipes with headers)
Interior: 5

Of course review is worthless without video, so here is a quick one of mine:
