Pros: Great deep, smooth rumble
Cons: none, now

I have recently gone Stage 2 (Grimmspeed PnPnC Manifolds, Grimm Hi flow crossover pipe, Grimm UP, Cobb DP, Perrin TMIC) and it has made my Borla a whole new beast! I have no desire to get rid of the resonated section anymore. It has a great rumble from the inside now, with only a TINY bit of drone at cruising speed (75-80). I have no trouble talking with people in the back seat. Once you introduce any music on the radio you can't even really tell it's there anymore. Outside it has become MEAN. I have had numerous compliments on the sound of the car now. Makes me grin whenever I hear it.

Pros: Easy install, Sounds deep and not very loud
Cons: Some drone over stock but not too much

Easy install...instructions need better pictures but the diagram made it easy to figure out what goes where. I would buy this again, for the cost and warranty it's a great value.

Pros: Great Sound, Oval tips look great, Quality Build
Cons: Supplied bolts too large for downpipe bolt holes

I wanted a CBE which sounded great, not too loud, Oval tips, Donut gasket flange, and stainless steel. The Borla fit the bill. Very easy to install, but you will need to enlarge the downpipe bolt holes or use smaller bolts. Haven't noticed much highway drone. It sounds great, a nice deep burble, without being offensive. Perfect sound in my opinion.

Pros: Great sound , quality fitment
Cons: None yet

I've been looking for a CBE for quite some time. Finally decided on the Borla and it's exactly what I was expecting. Deep rumble but not offensive. Mated to a Cobb catted DP and it sounds great! I highly recommend this if you're looking for a good DD sound.

Pros: Perfect Sound, quality materials
Cons: Nothing

Bought this and had it installed by Fredbeans Subaru. Fit is perfect, sound is right what I wanted. Noticeable from inside the cabin but nothing obtrusive. I had to tell my father I had changed the exhaust because he couldn't really tell. It's quiet inside the car. Outside has that perfect low end growl and it doesn't get obscene when you get on it. This might actually be too quiet for some but perfect for me and my wife. NO DRONE WHATSOEVER.

It also looks stock which is great. I was on the fence about this and the SPT. 2 things swayed me towards the Borla. The price/reviews and the fact that the SPT's y pipe hangs a little low for NYC streets.

If you want a quality nice sounding exhaust, Borla FTW.

Pros: Great sound, no drone, not too loud, great looks
Cons: Connection to DP could be welded instead of a slip ring.

Went in easy except for the connection to the DP. It has a non-fixed ring at the flare for the DP. This makes the re-install of the stock spring blots impossible without special equipment. I think it would have been better if they simply had welded it to the front of the flare like to stock connection. I do wish it had come in a 3" set-up. Other than those two small issues I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great sound, better flow, and doesn't want to sacrifice any drivability.
