    Default I had the Borla Installed, Noticable Performance Increase.

    Noticable sound increase as well.
    Nice to have something that is heard as well as seen

    The Borla is not super loud, like those damn Harley's, but it is certainly more impressive than the stock exhaust.

    It is louder inside, and at 70 mph the constant hum gets tiresome.

    After the Borla install there is noticalbly more pickup

    I just got my car on monday with the borla and I have to admit, it does feel faster. Have you run it above 5k rpms? The sound is scary!

    What is the price on the Borla exhaust? And is the sound bearable at highway cruising speed? I had a Tubi on my Murcielago, and on the highway the exhaust noise gave me a headache. I had to keep altering the revs to keep my head from pounding.

    After driving the car for a day or so, I think its too quiet. It sounds stock until you get on it, then it sounds GREAT. Perfect system in my oppinion. Costs around $3k installed.

    I think it's just fine. If you want to get on it, great to be heard. if you want to cruise cool, it let's you do that. never managed to cruise cool in the Stradale (as I have the valves opened permanently). And putting a Tubi on a Murcielago, i can imagineTHAT one, buddy...

    Depends on your tolerance for such noise.
    Cruising around 80 the noise level is less than a corvette convertable and a low pitch so a conversation is possible without yelling. However, that low pitch starts to wear me out after 30 minutes. I don't plan on driving extended highway miles, only to and from the dealer so it's not too bad.

    I think this is as loud or louder than Tubi, but not inside the car.
    Standing behind the car, even 30 feet away, while someone steps on it and it's really really loud. Inside driving, it sounds great, not too loud, but you know those on the outside hear it.

    Brian,
    sorry. Never had the pleasure to stand behind a GT with a Borla mounted (like mine) 30 feet behind when it was driven. Infact, never even stood behind any GT that was taking of or driving by. Isn't that bizarre ? What an event the Rallye will be, I can only now start to imagine...I better get my plans sorted, to be able to attend for sure!
