Nice photos! So what do you think of it so far?

Mine started to mellow out after a few hundred miles and I think it sounds even better than when it was new. :)

No, it has been too cold up in the frosty North East. Between the crappy road conditions and arctic temps I haven't been able to get the exhaust hot enough to ignite the fumes.

What does one do with the practically new exhaust that is removed? Sell it on Ebay or save it for a spare?

I saw it too last night. It was pretty dark outside but I liked what I saw and heard for that matter. The new exhaust tips are big but not huge. I like the look better than the small stock tips.

Thanks for the pictures of the undercarrage. Like MazdaBob thought the exhaust can is a lot smaller than stock. Hopefully the trunk will stay cooler now.

Does anyone have any other shots of the entire underside of the car. I do not have mine yet or I would look myself.

How is the sound inside the cabin versus outside? I've heard sound clips of the Borla but it's really hard to tell how it sounds in person.

So, any thoughts for those who have heard it?

Thanks.

for me with the windows up its a low growl with music on over 15+ you barely hear it unless you purposely rev it hard or something. though however it can be quiet too if you want it too.

Compared side to side with stock it is definately deeper/louder when revved up at idle. The sound note is agressive and deep and not what people refer to as sounding like a "fart can". As stated, louder than stock but not obnoxious ala whistle tip!

I like the 3 inch piping though, over the 2.5 stock that is good, if you would lets say put a "test pipe and Stage 1"
