Default give it some time to burn the material inside the muffler, when i first installed it

it pretty much sounds like stock with a little bit deep when idle, but after a few hundred miles it started to come alive!
I have just put piggy pipes in there and it sounds much much better, deeper at idle, very nice but not extremely loud at WOT

Default I had the same reaction when I installed mine...

...sounds good at idle and just ok at full throttle. Sounds stock at part throttle and cruising speeds. But, as stated earlier, Borla's will get louder with age. I have 2 year old Borla's on my Mustang and they are defenitely louder now than when I bought them.

Default My borla sounds mean.... The only thing I am not liking so much is some...

drone I have been experiencing lately. I've had it for about 7 months now. It is getting louder as time goes on. Have someone else drive your car in a parking lot while you stand outside of the car... you will absolutely love it (IMO). It is, again IMO, the best sounding, performing exhaust for the price. I paid $600 awe-holiday sale.

Default mine was loud for a week or two, seems pretty tame now.

nice grumble at idle, not too obtrusive when driving around, great shriek at WOT
