IMO, the BORLA's signature sound comes from their muffler design, so I don't think it's necessary to get their midpipe. Just bolt on Apexi, GT Haus, or RR Racing midpipe and you're good to go. Just my take on this.

Agreed, doesn't seem like there's any magic to their midpipe. Hopefully someone who has a non-resonated GTHaus midpipe will buy a set so I don't gonna be the guinea pig.

Decent acceleration with windows up. It's actually louder/deeper than the video makes it seem to be. Phone was picking up a lot of road noise than what I actually heard.

That's a bummer, I didn't catch that.
Per Borla's website
Due to the single-piece design of the factory exhaust system, our optional mid-pipe will require cutting and welding.
@Ay-nako do you have any info on this?

Hi, so everything is a complete bolt on, my vehicle was posted up on a you tube vid as well. the mid pipes to be CARB compliant do have resonators, but there is an option that when you get the mid pipes installed, you - on your self, can get the resonators/secondary cats taken off. (done at an exhaust shop). I am absolutely in love with my exhausts on my IS500 and on my RCF as well.
They did a killer job!
