Borla is for American brands, not imports. Simple as that.

Great for American V8's, not for import V6's.

Wow, I just found this thread. I have had my Borla for almost a year and don't seem to have any of these problems. I had almost no drone until I added Kinetix cats. Now there is some and I have thought about putting the stock cats back on.

I have heard the Borla, Stillen 2nd gen, and HKS in person and the Borla is the most stock-like out of those three.

Sorry to hear about your problems.

You're the second person I've heard that says the same about the Borla. I didn't believe Eloy (skeleton_cru) when he was telling me that this Borla isn't obnoxiously loud and that it drones, but after him demonstrating it at a meet for me, he was right...

As far as the quality I really have nothing bad negative to say about it, except they are known for their drone. One of the main factors that wen't in to designing the Intimidator exhaust, was trying to make the drone as minimal as possible. The thing you have to remember is that Borla is a multi-million dollar company, and if they lose your business today, or mine for that matter, they have 10 people in line to take our spots as of tomorrow. I don't agree with that being the way to handle things but hey, that is why I own my business and not one like that...Tony
That's why I bought yours. Thanks Tony

Mine has been great for the past 40k miles, and I really like the sound and weight. Sorry you guys are having such a crapo experience! Funny, I have heard a lot of complaints from sedan guys, but none from coupers. I also had mine on when I put my rear sway bar on, and didn't have any real issues. Go figure. Best of luck to you!
