."Get Borla!"
A Borla what? What muffler? My 14" 12198 was louder than my Roush off road. Believe it? The Borla made 10" ROR holds the tone longer and is very aggressive and much louder on start-up but is quieter under throttle but way more aggressive. Go figure! How many people thought that was possible? When I told Darren, he was surprised, and rightfully so. Keep in mind I went from 45'd 14" maggie to a ROR side exit. I was afraid it would have been TOO loud. I was so caught off guard it wasn't even funny. Arklight has taken the time to document various systems. That's a guy who can fully give advice. He has actually tried a ton of different systems.
What I find discouraging about this exhaust forum lately is that people keep pushing one brand over the other without taking into consideration people's taste.. I've done it myself at times because; personally, I THINK Borla sounds better than magnaflow. But there are instances where people just say it without even having any experience with that particular product. They clearly just "heard about it" or "read it." Personal preference is NOT fact and while it's funny to tease about other products (fartmaster magnaslow etc) doesn't mean it sucks. Darren's videos proved his '04 could make magnaflows loud, from what I've seen before that in old posts, a lot of people kept saying how quiet those mufflers were. I just feel this forum has become very fad like. When I started it was all magnaflow and now it's all Borla. Don't get me wrong no way I'd go back on this truck, but each situation is different.
Youtube, youtube, youtube. Other than hearing it live, that's the only way you can decide what tone suites you.

What people fail to realize it's based on preference. My Borla is louder than most trucks and cars I am around each day. Flowmaster really aren't as loud as people think. I'm not aiming this at you, I'm using it as an example, I thought your quote fit the mold nicely .
