Default borla exhaust question?

I have an 01 gs300 and i have a borla axle back. I want them louder. If i take out all the resonators will it sound good or should i just buy new exhaust?

Sound clip would help a lot. I found a couple of clips but most of them were gs 400 and 430

best bet is to sell me your borlas and get something else louder like HKS or full catback...

Seriously, let me know if you want to sell..

If you want loud, getting rid of the resonators will do it. My Tanabe deletes the resonators and it is loud. However, it's not super loud, just Japanese pocket rocket loud.

Interested in your Borla too if you happen to sell... What you could to is make it a catback by installing a mid-pipe.

Yes headers will make it louder, not so much more hp, but definitely louder.

Well, header***

Removing the resonators will definitely make it louder.
