It's like fine wine. Will sound much better after 1K miles or so.

Default I thought the same when I installed mine - it does "seem" to tone
down a bit, and develop a nice, low growl. Although, some of this is just getting used to the sound.....

Default You guys thinking the Borla is loud crack me up! You should hear some REALLY LOUD, street legal...
...exhausts. Then you would think the Borla on the S4 is super quiet.

Like Tuan & miS4tune said, after the Borla settles in and the carbon fills the pipes, it'll quiet down a bit.

Don't worry. =)
