Several companies make exhaust to fit. I've not heard the Borla. Do a search on youtube. There may be some clips there. I know there are some from other makers there. On edit, here's one. It sounds like holy hell. Maybe it was a bad mic or somethin.

raspy rattle-can effect is what I've heard. I had a custom built using a Flow 3-chamber and a glasspack pre-muffler, with quad tips out the rear both sides of the bumper, I had the after-CAT's removed (post-02 Sensor CATs) and it has a nice mild small block chevy rumble, nothing ridiculous.

I'm considering an LS2/LS7 or a HEMI, not sure which yet, but she'll have a really nice rumble and custom true duals.

I have a borla on my Rubi.....can't tell you how many compliments I get on it.
Sort of a quiet rumble when you step on the gas....otherwise fairly quiet.
So far I've been very happy with mine.

Would love to hear a clip of it, had Borla on my 97 Camaro SS until I put a stroker motor in it and went with dumped duals, have only heard a TJ with Borla and it was raspy, couple of friends "told" me it was raspy on a JK but now I want to hear it for myself.

I'd like to hear a good clip of the Borla too. I think those two I found on youtube were just poor quality. Anybody got a good Borla clip?

Not the greatest clip, or best quality...but it gives you a sense of what she sounds like.
This is with a borla stainless steel axle-back exhaust, but I also have an Airaid CAI installed. Although I really don't think that makes much of a difference though, because most of the clip is taken from the rear.

I like it, but let me know what you think?

I'm curious which Magnaflow you went with. I had them on my Dodge ram and I loved them.
