Anyone else get the dealer installed Borla exhaust?

Just curious, my car came with a Borla exhaust. Anyone else get the Borla straight from the dealership? How does TDR's exhaust compare? I love the deep startup sound of the Borla. The car definitely sounds throatier than my BMW M!

Curious, was the Frs new and how many miles did it have if new?

I drove an Frs with the Borla exhaust and now have the TRD. The TRD just sound better overall.

Cool...I drove the Frs with the Borla for about 2k miles. It sounded great at start up and throughout the drive. It just never dropped much from the same sound and feel regardless of rpm. The TRD has a nice sound at start up and once you hit high rpms and change shifts it drops to a low high sound the picks up again. My Frs came with stock so I upgraded to the TRD. If it had come with the Borla I would of just stayed there though and use the 1k for a different upgrade.

I was able to order mine with a Greddy exhaust from the dealer. They have one on the lot that's lowered on Tein springs, tinted, Greddy exhaust, TRD intake, and Sparco rims. All covered under factory warranty too

Mine came with a dealer installed Borla exhaust and only had 6 miles on it when I bought it. I like it.
