Hello friends,
I installed Borla on Friday. I took it to my local shop here in Ottawa, Canada and they installed it for me for $169.50 Canadian.
my only other mod is lighter wheels. no other mods on car but that and the Borla.
this is my first performance, sporty or whatever you want to call the stinger car. i have never owned before loud cars or performance cars.
my observations:
this is pretty much it. I think it was money well spent. out of all mods, I think exhaust is most important as it will make you feel you are going fast, even if you are driving grandma speeds.
thank you for reading my review. i am not a car expert, or exhaust sound expert by any means. appreciate everyone's inputs.
anyone know what mods i can add to the gurgles louder? it seems for pops and bangs ecu tune is only way. does JB4 help in making sound louder in any anyway? CAI?

my observations:
- it sounds good. youtube videos don't do it justice. car should have really come out stock like this. hearing from outside while the installer drove it, it sounded really good.
- it is loud, but its not going to make your neighbors wish you a painful death. if you have ever heard truck v8s, and v8s from american muscles, or the noise from motorcycles, this is tamer in comparison. much tamer.
- the sound build up when you press hard on gas is good. its an exciting sound and makes you want to keep driving. even if you don't drive fast. i understand now what people mean when they say sound can really transform a car. you don't need to be going crazy fast to have fun with the sound.
- car burbles at low speeds with foot off gas and in lower gears. it's an addicting sound.
- there is a bit of tinny noise. it doesn't bother me, but to each his own. if you are sensitive hearing you may not like it.
- very slight drone on highway speeds going uphill. it doesn't bother me, but again. to each his own. I ordered the fake akrapovic exhaust tips to help with the sound when i bought, but i don't think i will install them as i am ok with the slight drone.
- you can hear music and have conversation in car easily. i had music set to 6 volume, windows down and sunroof open and could easily talk to the girlfriend.
