I think it sounds amazing!! Invidia sounds good for the price I;m wondering what the disadvantages are if any?

Invidia is a great exhaust for the price. TIG welded and mandrel bend . Its comparable to a 2k plus exhaust in term of quality.
Its quieter than the other cat back systems that's why some guys don't like it. Mated with headers, they are great. Not too loud and more exotic throaty sound.

Hope that helps

Thanks. It really confuses me as to why Invidia is quieter since the piping diameter is actually larger at 2.75 than Borla's diameter (2.5 inches for the piping). Is it because of the muffler design? Also, is Invidia offered without resonator?

the muffler and resonators are completely different than borla, they muffle the sound more than most. Also the borla exhaust is a thinner material than most of the exhaust for the RCF hence they resonate sound differently.

Unfortulately, they don't offer non resonated. you can always chop them off ?

Thanks so much. Yeah, that is definitely one way to go.
