Default Yup, Borla exhaust review

Well I took advantage of the Meraki auto works deal on a borla exhaust, and all I got to say is wow! The exhaust is perfect.

At idle it sounds close to stock.

When accelerating normally, It's a combination of a WRX STI boxer rumble mixed evenly with the deep V8 growl.

At WOT sounds like pure muscle, nothing like a mustang. It sounds like we'll.... A Yamaha tuned V8 lol.

Stock I ran 12.7 @112. I'll definitely be going to the track to test it out. The car definitely is faster from butt dyno. Well rpms climb faster too, so that's a huge sign that you finish gears 1-3 slightly faster than stock.

Another shout to Meraki for helping me thru my shipping issue. Their communication is top notch.

Only thing is I need new gaskets from the cat back. I wish borla provided gaskets.

Yeah I thinking of doing a video as well, but man the exhaust sounds so much better in person. It's mind blowing how videos don't do justice to the amazing sound.

Congrats man ! It's always exciting adding an exhaustnto a V8. I have he Joe Z but am told the Borla is a little milder with less drone

^Is that your car, or a friends?

Whoever is revving it is an idiot for just bouncing it off the limiter repeatedly.

Sounds good though! haha

Got my catback 2 weeks ago . Sound pretty nice. The car should have come with this exhaust from factory. Not too loud . Perfect. Gotta try quarter mile to see if its faster now . Did 12.9@111 stock .
