Default Is Borla Good at all?

I recently installed a full catback system Borla True Dual Exhaust and was wondering if its good for horsepower like it promised since obviously everyone says its the most quiet exhaust out there. Could anyone tell me what I could do to make it louder without getting another totally different catback system?

I wish I could take a video and post it but I don't have a video camera. To give you a picture it deepens the rumble and pops a bit (deep sound) when you let off the throttle around 4k rpm. Hfc also pushed my traction over the edge, I started spining my tires under full throttle above 4k, I didn't notice this before then..

I have the Borla TDE with AAM hi/flo cats and the exhaust is noticeably/tastefully more aggressive.

Performance wise I did feel an increase in pull on the low end range.
Perfectly happy with those upgrades

Borla+HFC+Headers here...mild at normal throttle openings, loud when you get on it. Sounds like a pair of sport bikes when going under overpasses.

Performance change is definitely felt after a reflash.

The Borla TD really needs an X pipe to really get the most out of that system.

How does the Borla sound? Ive listened on youtube and it sound pretty good. Im looking for an exhuast just a little louder than stock with the same type of sounds and improved performance. Is the Borla system it?

Before I went custom HKS, I had a Borla w/ APS test pipes and DC Headers. Sounded mean as hell. Though the quality of the steel in the Borla True Dual is garbage. When we pulled it off, I had a cracks all over where the metal just split.
