Default Borla Rear sections installed!

So it's been a few days since they have been in, first off: I love the look of them, the tips are about the same shape as stock, but a lot bigger, they are the perfect size to fit the exhaust cut-out on the stock gs rear bumper.

Now on to the sound, they give a bit of a deeper tone, but I want it a little louder, so next week I'll be taking out one of the three resonators. I plan on taking out the one much wider resonator, before the two long ones.

But I'll take some pictures of them installed and I'll post some videos with before and after the resonator removal.

The 2 longs ones make a huge difference, and that's what I would take out. Just those taken out on a 400 with stock mufflers makes it sound way better and much deeper.. The center one doesn't have as much effect.

Yeah I thought about doing this, but wouldn't that just make it way to loud and annoying?

Exhaust Video!: http://youtu.be/9bwSYEzIfNw

Listen to this with speakers with good bass, otherwise normal speakers wont play the low tones!
