Default Borla waste of time...

I recently just added a borla catback exhaust to my car and am quite disappointed from the sound or actually the lack of sound the aftermarket exhaust gives off. Its barely louder above stock and for the money the exhaust was, im shocked. Does anyone else have a borla exhaust on their car and if so, is yours quite as well? Obviously Im not going for the ricer sound but i want the full deep sound of a sports car.... Any pointers would help from anyone... My buddy has a 03 S2000 and his stock exhaust screams louder than my borla... Thanks for your time

give it time.... the packing will burn in and get louder in a few hundred to a few thousand miles ... also consider getting a very free flowing intake like the 3 inch pipe units needswings and tvt have as that will unleash the sound thats hidden in the engine and liven up the exhaust as well.

Hope you had asked me before hand, the Borla is the most quiet sounding one. I just switched to the magnaflow and love it! See my site for details.
