Holy cow. The sound is out of this world and the gains are quite noticeable. Definitely money well spent. There was just one small issue. Borla's website says the exhaust fits 03-06 sedans, but the paperwork from the box says 03-04. I drive an 05. Mounting for the muffler is totally different. So now I gotta buy the 04 mounting hardware for the muffler. Not a huge deal. Just wish they'd make it known that it's 03-04 specifically. Other than that, no problems at all. I'll try and get a video up soon.

Sorry for it being a bit shaky. My buddy took the vid and it was super cold last night. I got my borla from a guy on eBay for $800 shipped. I'll probably post another one later about what it sounds like inside.

That sounds so bad ****. That was a good price. The Borla was my second choice after the Nismo. Looking forward to the drive by vid!

Not very mean, and I don't mean that in a bad way. But it doesn't sound aggressive like Borla ussually does and with ART pipes it should be a bit deeper. Must be the camera distance.

Im not sure if it is different due to being a sedan set up though. I haven't heard many of those at all.

I think it was the camera distance. It's meaner in person. How much does a tune usually cost?

If you go to a shop and get dyno tuned around $600, $500 if you buy the cable and do it over email with datalogs.
