mmm def Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Wait for the COBB or go for the Borla? I haven't heard the Borla yet, but I really like the look of the COBB mufflers, however on the video it seemed too quiet. Has anybody heard the Borla yet, and are the tips as big as COBBS? Not sure what to do...I have about $1k in fun money..Accessport or exhaust, hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptan Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Accessport all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidiq Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 AccessPort will get you more bang for the buck. Take off your catback, that should be loud enough for you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinh Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I have the Borla installed on my 05 LGT. It sounds great! A deep, throaty sound. Not loud at all for a cat-back system. I guess it's the 3 cats before it that keeps it low. But, I highly recommend Borla. As far as the tips....I am not familiar with Cobb's, I can just say the Borls look stock. And I purchased this from Summit for $699. -KevinH KevinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sde Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 $699 sounds like a great deal! i don't suppose you can record any audio of the borla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanoswrx Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I second the request for pics and sound clips :) I too found the Cobb exhaust to be a little to quiet and not deep enough sounding for my tastes. I figure if your making an exhaust atleast make it so it doesn't sound stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGR415 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 does it sound like an exhuast on a wrx would? aka boxer rumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Kevinh- any interest in seslling me your mufflers? I want to try some fitment stuff with my OB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade-LGT Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 [size=1]I had a Cobb on my WRX and found it too loud for my old ears. The Borla has been recommended as a quiet alternative that will still yield a performance increase. I'll echo the other requests for a sound byte...[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 $699? Summit is showing them for $739... You must be special :D Rob   IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinh Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 OK, I wasted a lot of my time today, trying to make a sound clip. I went out and videotaped my car reving....transfered it to my mac...edited it on iMovie....exported to Quicktime. I could not export it to a mpeg for Windows Media, for you PC guys...sorry. Now I cannot attach it to this thread. It does not accept movie or audio files. Even transfering it to just a sound aiff file. Didn't work. Anyone, seriously wanting to buy a Borla and could open a .mov. I will e-mail it to you. PM me. Over the weekend I will insert pics, but it looks totally like stock. -KevinH KevinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 PMed For those who think the Cobb is too quiet, remember, there is a Y-pipe, midpipe, 3rd cat section and downpipe all to be replaced. I believe they just put on axle-backs. It should be the perfect audible level once all the rest of the components are up to snuf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxerGT2.5 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Sounds a little metalic/tinny. But that could be the recording??? :) Looks good though! OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm def Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 I think it might be the recording. Sound a bit louder than I thought, and I LOVE it!!! Tips look a little bigger than stock, very nice, I will be ordering one soon, thanks Kevin. Can you do maybe a drive-by or an in car recording? Maybe a 20-60 run in 2nd? That would be hot.

kevinh Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Yeah, the mic picked up a lot of gear whining. It obviously is not over bearing like that. But, you can make out the throaty deep sound the Borla resonates. I probably could somehow make better recording with a different mic or location. But, maybe another day. -KevinH KevinH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne53 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Very nice..now if there was only a half way decent recording of the Cobb. How about a drive-by AND in car recording? -Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
