Does anyone with a loud exhaust want to trade for a quiet one? My early Borla is too quiet.

Default Does anyone with a loud exhaust want to trade for a quiet one? My early Borla is too quiet.

It's 3" the whole way and I'm sure the performance is fine, but I just feel like the car needs to make a bit more noise! I can't even here the revs if the radio is on. :-(

Anyway, thought I would see if someone was tired of their boomer and wanted to swap.

My appologies in advance if this is considered a 'for sale' post. I don't want to sell anything, just swap parts with someone local.

Default Probably something like that, maybe not quite that loud. Thinking about pulling the res

to see if that makes it a bit louder. Eventually I'll probably do something custom as I want to delete the spare tire well and run dual, but looking for something for now. Plus I know many people love my exhaust for the reason I don't. It's a 3" exhaust that's really quiet, hate to cut it up if someone was looking for that!

Default Was yours the 'early' version? I've heard that more of later ones

Mine doesn't even have 'Borla' on the tips, which I guess is one way you know it's early.

It's the perfect gentleman's exhaust and I do enjoy it on long trips. Throaty down low, stock like sound where you drive it and gets loud up top... I just want a touch more. ;-)

Default totally. mine was an early version....

i know what you're saying, I was at the point where I wanted to actually hear my car...

even the milltek that was on there with the resonator removed didn't sound near as good as teh Twin..

I appreciate that! I was more after swapping if someone wanted quiet before cutting mine up.
