Cool Finally got the Borla! (PICS)

Just got it put on. $800 even w/install and tax. When I first started it, I thought "uh oh" because I could not hear a change. Evidently however these things take time to break in. Once it heated up, the thing was just cream.With throtle blips reving between 1 and 2K it issues a deep growling burble that gives me goosebumps. I can litterally feel the sound. At Higher RPMs ther is a deep rich mellow sound. It is only supposed to get better as it breaks in. Deeper and a little louder. I am stoked! Enjoy the pics!!

Looks like you just got the muffler. Do you notice any HP gians?

Looks nice, I like how you cant see the muffler from behind, kinda stealth. Would love to hear it...

Beautiful... I'm interested in hearing your impressions as it breaks in. Any "drone" during normal driving?

Mine just came today also! Thanks for saving me from having to post pics since you have a black track also. $800 though? I paid $620 shipped. I'm putting it on myself, but even a full hour of labor at a muffler shop is only about $60. Should be no more than $700 at most.

How is the interior sound level?
Is it annoying?

Nope checkout the second pic down, thats the silencer. cat back all the way baby!! As for gains, I havent had a chance to explore every milimeter of the tach but it seems I feel more urgency to the acceleration!
