Great video man!! Love how in depth you got with it. Borla should link everyone to your video because it’s better than the one they have up for the exhaust. Thanks for sharing!
That's the most comprehensive sound clip ever nice job man
The pops and burbles are one of the loudest parts of this system. Overall, it's not a super loud set up like the video suggests (at least on my speakers), it's hard to pick up what an exhaust sounds like in person with most microphones. You can definitely hear the tone when accelerating through the gears but the pops (especially when shifting from 1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd) are Focus RS loud with rev hang enabled. There is also a pleasing blip noise when opening and closing the throttle. I was afraid this system was going to drone like crazy after watching Shibles well done video, but it doesn't. It's only loud when I want it to be other than the loud POP POP POP on low gears shifts when accelerating moderately/aggressively. WOT throttle is surprisingly quiet, I wish that it had more of a shriek/wail to it but that's just the nature of this turbo engine. There is some resonation between 3k-4k rpm but it's not an obnoxious amount. Cruising between 2k-3k rpm on the highway is surprisingly quiet with a little bit of tone/growl poking through at around 2700 rpm, but just a little.
It has a resonator, it's the cylinder shaped piece near the middle:
I’ve had my borla exhaust for a little over 1yr now. It is definitely not loud, or obnoxious. It’s louder than the stock exhaust but not by much. You do get slight crackles when decelerating in 1st or when shifting from 1st to second gear. Overall, I think it’s one of the quieter exhausts on the markets for our cars. Good luck finding someone in your area with one.
Thank-you Sir. I appreciate your feedback. Definitely leaning more towards the Borla now.
