I had my Borla on for 6 weeks before I added my PPE headers. The Borlas are nothing like factory. You'll know that you've got a exhaust. It sounds great. The clamps are not bad at all. You just have to see it in person. It is well made. I loved the sound even before the headers. 4000 RPM above, that sound is still there just amplified.

I've had the full catback borla, modified caback borla as well as the full HKS SSM system. Without a doubt the HKS is the most friendly exhaust on highway trips, zero drone, and it screams unlike any of the other exhausts on WOT.
I ordered a 3" QTP electric exhaust cutout to put in the system for the days when I want to be obnoxious

I think the Borla will be your best bet.. I took mine on a 14 hour road trip from Toronto to Myrtle Beach and had no drone on the hyw. I feel its the way the car should have came stock.
Good luck

Drone really really sucks and is a sign of bad design.
But it's really tough to not get drone if you're going with bigger piping simply because the ISF doesn't have flaps. This is how the other makes/models deal with it. To give you the noise you want without the drone on the low end or under load with passengers which blows.
I'd love to hear how the other aftermarket designs sound. It's totally ymmv. Can't take someone else's word for it.

Ur only option will be Borla, I had it and it is very "wife friendly" with the inside cabin noise and even at aggressive acceleration it is very accomadating noise wise. It wasn't loud enough for me so I picked up a Joe Z and it's amazing. People compliment the sound almost every place I take it to but my wife isn't a big fan of it especially with the windows down.
