Borla Catback Sounds Awesome! (Vids)

Exterior sound (revving and 1st gear)


Interior sound with windows closed (driving around town)
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151132762481965

UEL Headers pre-paid/ordered from JSCSpeed.com. I know, I'm a spammy bastard, but I have loyalty to my buddy Mike there. He's a cool dude and excellent salesman.

I figured these vids might be better than the stuff currently on YouTube. Feel free to add me on FB, I keep my prof. public and always looking for fellow BRZ owners. Probably going to have my friend with pro sound equipment record more sounds, especially when the UELs come. Any questions/comments, post 'em up!

Cheers,
Isaac

Sounds good. Looking forward to mine coming in. Any issues with installation? Especially getting the exhaust tips centered?

Borla does a lot of testing to insure no drone on their exhausts. I can only speak from Mustang experience but it's one of their big selling factors.

Nope, although it does help to have a friend stand at the back of the car so you don't have to keep getting out from under to check.

I had no previous experience with Borla, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised with the build quality and sound of this exhaust. The lack of drone is a really nice thing, something I've never had before!

Is your car a manual transmission? I'd like to hear the interior while you cruise on the highway at 65mph (2500ish rpm) . I don't think you did that in your videos.

Yes there is a TSB out. The dealership I go to could not reproduce the chirping so I told them to use a stethoscope.

Anytime, bro! I highly recommend the vendor I got mine from, no offense to any of the others. I've just had nothing but great experiences with Mike.

What kind of intake did you pair it with? Right now it's a toss up for me between Greddy and Injen.
