Roush or Borla

Always here good things about Borla, up there in price though, worth it?. Anyone put on a Roush system yet. Its stainless and looks pretty close to the borla. Looking into the "offroad" version, it a little louder. Any input is appreciated.

Roush split system:

04 Red Lariat has the Borla system and loves it... I've personally heard it and it sounds GREAT but isn't overly loud (if we're talking about the same system)...

I have not heard the roush systems, so I can't compare them to the borla.

I gave around 590 for the borla including shipping. It sounds good with no cab drone and no rattles. The install was very easy.

Whew. What a relief. When I clicked on the videos, it took me awhile to realize you had more than just the f150. I was listening and thinking, what's up with the sound?

Have Roush

I've had the Roush exhaust (street legal) since i bought my '04. VERY happy. Never had the Borla, so cannot compare. The Roush has a good sound, but isn't overbearing, you can still carry on a conversation or listen to the radio with no problems, but it lets you know it's there when you go WOT. Bought mine from Hill Bank Motors out of Calif raya@hillbankusa.com. They are on ebay quite a bit. Wish the suspension worked as well as the exhaust!

I have the Roush Off Road dual split rear exhaust on order. I'll hopefully have it installed in a couple of weeks. I was able to get it for under $400, so I figured I'd give it a go.
