Rear section is just a replacement for the mufflers we have and retains the midpipes which is pretty much a single pipe.

The Borla catback is a true dual replacement and yields much more power due to the removal of cats and piping size/efficiency.

Borla rear section is slightly louder than stock. Borla full exhaust is a few steps above the rear section but IMO still quiet.

Axle back removes the crushed Y pipe. Source, I have one.
