They got wise in 04 and stopped using the U-bend.

No drone at all with resonated tips. Still sounds mean. Still loud enough to trigger alarms. Every now and then when driving through my neighborhood, I give the throttle a little burp as I drive past parked cars to find out which ones have alarms.
crazy

What is everyone's opinion of the sound the Borla exhaust system gives the GP? I want something that has a nice rumble to it, but not so loud that it drones in the cabin or sounds like a ricer driving by.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Well it still makes oil changes easier to take off the tire on the passenger side. Also I have already put some stereo equipment in and as far as teh way the interior is installed its easier to tear down and put together very quickly. other than that the underside and under hood of the car is as close to identical as it gets.....

Yeah, if someone has some recent Borla GTP sounds to post up, we would be very appreciative.

I know a bunch of GP guys who have the Magnaflows on and are happy with those.

HercMan did you get any info on the super 40 F/M`s??

the folks at perf peddlers seem like nice peeps but not too product sauvy.

i read what they had on the sper 40 but when i asked ?? they really couldnt answer me, are the super 40 legal (noise). or do you know if i might be asking for problems from the MAN.

i was also thinking about some borla tips but i dont know if that would cancel out any of my F/M growl...

hammer so she growls to wake up the neigbors lol no

Noise level won't get you in trouble with the man.
A good set of tips make a big difference. I tried running mine without tips the sound was unbearable all the noise was being bounced off the bumper cover and reverberating back into the car. Put the stock tips back on and problem was gone. Just ensure what ever tips you use that they stick out a little past the bumper cover. From about 30 feet away at idle you really don't notice.
