LOL J/K



Stock



Borla





Not the same to me, but I wasn't looking for a really loud exhuast, just a better note.
Maybe becasue when I saw him I was just driving my FD with an open exhaust and it sounded pretty low key then.

I like also It just didnt seem loud.

Just got finished a bit ago, sounds great. It's buring a bit of oil from the removal/install, the hangers are a bitch.

I think the ****** is leaking, I hear a hissing sound now, right by the cat. I wonder if it's water, man does it spit out some water on startup, rich pig, LOL. I'll find out tomorrow when I take it for a cruise. Anyone have a similar problem before on a catback?

Using my driving habits, IE not killing the clutch, I can break them loose in third now when I row throught the box. It helped alot, rev matching is easier too.

I noticed one of the relief slits were contored a bit. The exhuast note's tone is multilayered. After retightening everything it sounds a bit different, so there must have been a small leak, however, the tone that caught my attension is still there, seems like it coming from the cat. The flange connecting the catback to the cat is tight and lined up properly. I think it may be the "chuffing" due to the change in diameter between the cat and the catback pipe. One thing is for sure, the gear heads at work think it sounds great, I agree, much better than the stock and not ricey sounding, perfect.
