I have had the Borla exhaust since September of 2020 and haven't had any drone while cruising.

Also just recently installed the Takeda CAI, and I must say they both sound great when paired together.

I would say ZERO drone while cruising. And all the other reviews I've read about the Borla exhaust seem to say the same thing.

I switched to a Borla exhaust back in 2018 because my girls were getting annoyed with the Joe Z. With the Borla they can actually sleep in the back seat. So to address drone concerns, IMO I'd say just slightly louder than stock at cruising speeds (that's if you're really concentrating on listening to it) but you get that satisfying growl as soon as you get over 2800 - 3000 rpm

No drone whatsoever with the Borla. I have a much more aggressive setup now and still don't deal with drone. It's a great axleback

Forgot to update back but I am super pleased with cabin noise and tone! I would say it’s the best axleback for this car.

The exhaust tone almost likes like a G37, which sounds very good IMO.. so I’m all for it!

Also picked up the Borla Axle back and installed it last night.. Like everyone says NO Drone inside the cabin, nice grumble on cold start and between 2-4K rpm, but once your up to speed its just a nice low mello tone.

Not a fan of those open air conical intakes. I had one and sold it.

Same, I put an AFE high flow dry filter in my stock air box and called it a day. The others sound mean but thats about it, I had a good shop tell me don't even bother with those.
