have it done. it sounds great when you get on it. deep, throaty, and gives you a slight kick in the *** in top rec curve. i love it and best of all when idling it sounds almost factory except for the pops

VividRacing.com

Sounds kinda like the B&B as well.

When I first installed mine, I was able to get pops easily. Now after about 3 days and about 200 miles, the pops don't come unless I'm high in the rpms, then dropping the rpms before shifting.

I have now driven it another 100 miles, and it doesn't pop or burble at all anymore unless I rev it up to 7000+ rpms then let it drop down to 5000 or lower.

Would the 98 degree weather be causing this?

Okay, where do I go to listen to the sound track of the Borla exhaust system? How does it compare with the system that is produced by Racing Beat or even Mazda Speed? Is the quality good? Is there a warranty on the system and what is the cost? Looking for some real honest answers before I make any purchase. Thanks, guys!

yeah.. funny.

the price of steel went up, so anyone waiting for it to drop below $500 never would have bought it. What's a borla go for new these days? $700?

I just got the borla on Tuesday and installed last night. won't be able to fully test it until the end of March thou (car is stored for winter).

It sounds great thou!!

So is the best option still the Borla paired with a B&B Catless midpipe for those who have no legal limitations where that is concerned?

I am still undecided, the HKS and Borla sound more or less the same to me, which si deeper? I want the deepest richest sounding one and the HP Gains as well...

20+ Pages and still undecided, I am ashamed of my noobness...

I've owned the borla, the hks legamax, and the hks hi power.

the borla is the deepest sounding. But it's also quite a bit louder than the legamax. The legamax has the nice situation of having a nice note on the throttle, but quiet otherwise.

the hi power is the loudest, but it's not deep at all, it's just noisy and sounds like a civic with a hole in the muffler.

so pick whatever fits your needs best.

eddybear

Which one you got now...

and were any of them noticeable HP gains?

mysql

legamax now. no way to tell if there are gains because the dyno done with the borla had a smaller turbo then now with the legamax.
