To the OP: I have Magnaflows which are very similar to Borlas and they sound great as well! You made a good choice!
The B pipe in front of the y pipe has a cat, at least on the 300's

Sounds awesome! did you put bigger pipes from the cat to the exhaust or just kept the oem ones and took off the resonators?

Is the Borla system a axel back or a cat back system?

I'm looking for that "mustang" sound but i'd like an entire catback set up. Maybe buy the Borla axel back and have the exhaust stuff before it custom made at a shop. As long as it won't cost an arm and a leg.....

The borla by itself is probably the most quietest exhaust for the GS. It's not until you get your whole exhaust done where it'll have a much throatier sound.

Does anyone know what a 300 with borla sounds like with 1 or 2 of the resonators removed?
