Default Borla exhaust... going back to stock

It's taken me about 6 months to finally realize that I really dislike the droning booming sound of the Borla exhaust. I also really dislike getting burned on the leg from the exhaust tips sticking out. So I'm going back to my OEM exhaust system. I did the exhaust and APR93 chip at the same time, so I have no idea if I will have any performance issues but I'm really looking forward to have some quiet time in the TT again.

Default Wow... if you think the Borla is loud, don't dare come near my car or AxeYrCat's.

In my opinion the Borla is too mild! To each his own, I suppose :-)

Default I love the sound at idle, but can't stand it going through the gears...

too much resonation in the cabin. At highway speeds I can barely hear the radio.

I have a borla muffler on my Scirocco's Techtonics cat back system and it sounds great but I'm just very disappointed with the TT version.

Default You should get the blueflame then..

much quieter (around stock, little louder than stock i guess) and the tips don't stick out much..

Default 2nd that. I had a Borla on an Alfa and got tired of it in a month.......

It's not the sound when you step on it, it's the constant drone at all speeds that drove me bananas. Got rid of it as well.

Get a BlueFlame. I love mine!

Third, rather be seen than heard.
