I have one. I didn't like it with stock exhaust and gutted rear cats, but with the longtubes and high flows I love it. It doesn't get attention from the authorities when cruising, but makes itself known when goig wot. I've literally made kids fall off their bikes when I stabbed it for a second in the neighborhood. HaHaHa

I have it, was on the truck when I bought it. Sounds great to me! Sure it's not the loudest but it's noticeable. Good quality as well.


By NO MEANS is it garbage. I'd upgrade to Bassani but $h!t, it's great quality and too expensive to just get rid of to go a bit louder.

Talk to the ones who have or had it. Everyone on this board will be partial to Bassani of Magnaflow. Not many L's with Borla.

I have it on my truck, it sounds good when just cursin around, But I don't not like it wide open. I think it sounds bad. I can't even describe what it even come close to sounding like when at wide open. Almost like it is cloged up, I guess that is the only way I can put it. Plus I am not a fan of the tips, think there on the small side and I don't like the tip with in a tip look.

I noticed that sound at WOT as well. But at least it dosen't get wraspy like some systems. I've heard a lot worse.

I'll prob. go with Bassani in the future..Mine was on the truck when I got her.

I had borla way back , I think it may have been one of there 1st batch (on my 99). I noticed that my muffler was only 2 1/4 ", so the pipes were necked down. I loved the sound with longtubes and high flow cats.

Yeah, I'm thinking of adding Bassani hi-flow cats...

You guys say that will open up that Borla? I guess if I don't like it I'll go with the bassani cat-back as well.

My Borlas with no rear cats sound awesome, I'm sure they'll sound equally as good with high flow cats.
