Borla is nice but i'm betting that you will want something louder..

I have a borla exhaust video on youtube too. You NEED to listen to speakers with a sub to here the deep bass that the borla exhaust offers. At the time I did the video, the only exhaust mod was the borla mufflers. that's it. Since then I have cut out the center muffler and replaced it with a straight pipe, and the sound is much deeper and louder. I get compliments on the sound every day.

Get Borla

Borla's are OK. I'm biased to the Tanabe exhaust, the MT on the 300s and the Super Medallion on the 400/430s.

Maybe I'm an old Man (mid 30's) but I found the Borla Cat back system kinda loud. I guess I was so used to the whisper quiet relaxing luxury part of the Gs400 . The Borla Exhaust was very noticable to me even at light throttle. It did make sound meaner but it just wasn't for me. I wish it sounded more like a muted throaty German V8 luxury sedan

I got it from Amazon for a great price and luckily I was able to return it for only $25 shipped at their flat rate !

^^^ yes it's a very deep mean sound especially with the k&n Cai and on the highway it sounds amazing, I love it and personally wouldnt change it any time soon and I'm in my 30's, to each their own, everyone wants to race though and it can get very annoying, but then the light turns green an they get destroyed , borla backs their exhaust systems up to a million mile "warranty"....

I'm mid 30's to lol but my first rear section was the Borla.. I wanted something different.. Now granted if u replace the mid pipe or delete the resonators thats a different story as u will get a different sound altogether..

Funny I felt the same way, but then again it may just have been all in my head. I did find myself driving more aggessive and using the e shift more often just to hear the rumble, Maybe I gave up on it too quickly.
