Hey guys

They put up a great new video.

https://youtu.be/6atZbD0I6yo

I'll be honest...

A few things about it seem fishy to me.

One.... why do they only show it being shifted with paddle shifters? Who drives around using paddle shifters? What does it sound like with the truck in drive?

Two.... if you listen to the sport version around minute 2:17 the guy shifts into what I am guessing is 10th gear. Listen to the low frequency howl that they let you hear for one second before they cut the shot. Go back and listen a few times.

Now go back to their stock run and listen. Stock has no tone and virtually no noise in the cab. Borla produces that low frequency hum as it goes into top gear.

I'm not convinced this is much better than the Gibson I ripped off.

Why won't they let you hear the truck driven regularly in drive? Why won't they let you hear the truck on the highway at 65-75mph for 10-15 or even 20 seconds?

If you guys want to flame me for posting this, that's ok... but for everyone else who is looking to buy an exhaust without drone... it's a worthy discussion.

Thoughts?

They say, specifically, no drone in any gear at any rpm. They guarantee it. It took them months to create it, unlike Gibson. You get what you pay for imho.

Did you get the S type or Atak? I'm leaning towards Atak...

Borla is awesome with customer service, if you have drone or something isn't right David will step up and get you out of it

I listened several times and have come to the conclusion that an aftermarket exhaust just isn't for you. I don't think you will ever be happy with any of them.
