The borla is a true dual just the same. There are dual pipes through the whole thing which is the definition of a "true" dual.

It won't sound the same because the BMW has a straight 6 which sounds different. The borla is deep and subtle sounding. I have had mine since the first week I had my car and still like it a lot! I will admit it sounds even better with test pipes and turbos. It is quieter at idle and sooo clean but you can hear the engine more. Hard to explain.

Here is a video of what it sounds like now:


(these are not the best but all I have, )

The Borla G35X lives!!! I am going to wait for the pics to post my review, because I have several folks to thank.

But, I am (much as ttrank so elequently explained above) beyond thrilled with the sound and the performance.

Everything can fit if ya do a little research on g35driver and throw $ at the problem...
