Hi guys,
I'm about to order one of these systems but wanted an honest opinion of the cabin noise level on a long trip? I don't really want to put one on if it's likely to do my head in on motorway/dual trips. Your opinions would be great chaps!

If you're taking the wife and kids with you, they will complain.

Oh man Chris, I hope you have a way to get it over there without having to ship overseas!! Heavy and large packaging is never fun on the wallet!

All sorted Skip. Borla UK depot is about an hour away from me and they can get it in for me inc shipping etc for a reasonable price plus my brother fits tyres and exhausts in the same town so even better!
As for taking the wife & kids with me Jay, No kids & the wife will be fine. She loved my AC Cobra with loud pipes and the roof off so at least the Jeep has roof,doors,windows and a stereo to help drown it out or she can get the bus lol

Get it if you don't mind drone, if you do get the Corsa.

What he said.... :D

Is the Borla that bad?? I was just reading the info off of Borla site and it says they are designed to keep most of the noise behind the tips and stop drone lol

If your wife's into it I say get one. The system does drone around town but you can auto-stick your way around it. On the highway, just turn your radio up a little louder.

I use the Jeep for 3 hour drives on the highway sitting at 75/80 mph so probably right in the drone zone! The Corsa is about $500 more expensive than the Borla, either that or i get the quieter version of the Borla?

If you're taking the wife and kids with you, they will complain.


Had my SRT for 2 days now and the wife HATES the Borla s. Mine has the front resonators deleted. Drone is pretty bad at 20-40mph but its nice at cruising speed. I dont know W.T.F to do with mine but I gotta please the wife. So mine may be going up for sale.

i have the borla s system i dont mind the drone but it present

Sounds like someone removed the mufflers instead of the resonators.

I've noticed that with my Borla-s it took a little bit for the exhaust to break in and the drone to really come on. Like mentioned before its worse in the earlier gears during those few seconds where the RPM's are at a steady rate and the transmission shifts. At cruising speed the drone is there but you get used to it and it really doesn't bother me at all. When people are in the car with me they comment on it but i've never had any extremely negative things said about it. It's really all personal preference but it DOES sound absolutely amazing hearing it outside of the car!

Have'nt figured that 1 out yet either :rofl:

Absolutely, its sounds beastly.

You think I can mount a Magnaflow (part #12599) muffler to the Borla sysem to lessen the drone?

It comes with 4. Previous owner removed the front two. Replaced with striaght pipe.

I love mine, have been to and from Florida in it at 70/80 cruising and I don’t think the drone is bad at all (I love the drone) its more noticeable at certain RPMs at lower speeds intermittently but when you’re going that fast on the highway with all the wind and road noise and radio on its not bad at all and in fact I already want it louder but I’m also not married and my kids are grown so they love it, but I’ve never had a women that has been in it with me complain even when I nail it and try to scare them on the highway lol
And its been said, but yes like most things, its all personal preference, what may be too loud for someone is music so someone else.

^+1 for sure. All about preference, but I can tell you I have no drone at 75-80 as that is my cruising speed when I drive 50 miles for work each day. I only notice drone around town at about 2k rpm and actually had to ask my wife if she noticed it after about a week of having it. She doesn't mind it and she's not a big car fan. She just knows she loves the SRT better than the STi! Me too!

Man get the Borla for sure, We just picked up our new jeep and it has the Borla and it is the best exhaust I have ever heard for a simple bolt on system. The loudest drown is at 40mph but as soon as it shifts, good to go, like the other guy stated or auto stick around it. It's not too loud, it sounds great. The wife and I just drove 7 hours 2 days ago with no complaints. Couldnt stop smiling over how good it sounds.

I did a lot of cross country travels with my borla s. highway cruising it's quiet. Turn the music up to a normal volume and you don't hear it. That's on stock exhaust manifolds and stock mid pipes. Get the borla s, you won't regret it. I thought it was quite after I got used to it.

Going to go for a Stainless Works system i think

It's been ordered :D

had Borla S on mine for 3 years now

best thing i ever put on it

don't hear any drone even on motorway

cheers

there's drone in the cabin between 20-40mph. it's especially noticeable if you're cruising somewhere in that speed range and putting a lot of load on the motor, such as when going uphill. if the wife complains, get a new wife. small price to pay for the deep, menacing rumble that can be heard for blocks. i heard a lot of different exhaust setups, but haven't heard one i like more than the borla S. add headers, and you're in exhaust heaven.

Yeah thats what I'll do....replace the wife over the exhaust. Wish it was that easy :eek:
