With the top down... This video is for you. Mostly hanging out in third gear.

Borla S-Type, resonators removed, stock H-Pipe, sound tube delete, JLT CAI for noise.

Those sound great. I just went and ordered the Ford Racing Sport ABs. I know they sound similar, but I'm hoping those are a little more tame when I leave in the mornings for work.

That sounds great. The scenery is just like what I got lost in yesterday. Small mountain roads. I need exhaust.

Ok, a couple of questions.
1: any issues with drone?
2: did you run them with the resonators first and if so, was there a huge sound difference between them being on and off?
3: are you running the quad tips or just the duals?

Thanks!

Nice video. Sounds mean when you open it up but I'm not sure I could tolerate it in a DD.

I'm pretty sure that Borlas give you NO drone at any rpm.
Diva removed her resonators when she still had her single tip GT500 mufflers on the car.
Not 100% sure but I think she now has the single tip S-types on her car.

Ok thanks. I thought Corsa was the only exhaust system to have zero drone. Good to hear Borla doesn't have it either.

If I remember right, they are Borla S-Types private-labeled for Ford so should be no difference. However, S-Types have zero drone at any RPM and are as quiet as stock when cruising at highway speed in 6th. Might be a little louder if you have 3.55s or 3.73s since the revs will be a little higher, but probably not much. They are worth every penny, IMO.

keep in mind the only reason it seems crazy loud is that it's a convertible with the top down.

Sounds great Diva, and that road looks like a blast to drive. Where was your road trip?

No, I just know enough people patrol spaces and I don't need to be incriminated, even if I was a passenger. As evidenced that my sister in the Twin Cities got pulled over the other day and the cop said "aircraft noted your car in excess of the speed limit on two other occasions"
