Anyone with Borla exhaust changed the muffler tip?

highly recommend the borla. i've convinced a few ppl to get it for the RCF. It just sounds amazing. During install, have the shop do some spot welds around the clamp to secure the setup but be able to break the weld when/if you want to remove the exhaust. I do agree the tips are a bit small, but at the end of the day it's negligible. Just keep the tips clean and you should be fine.

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying. My experience with them goes back to my G35 days, Back 15 or so years. David Borla and I had a rather spirited eMail exchange back in the day. As I said, Borla is a budget exhaust, it just doesn't fit very well and has a very poorly designed clamping system. I recommend anyone who has a Borla to get all joints welded. Over time the clamping system probably will leak.
There are other choices besides the two you mentioned.

I've had the exhaust on for 7months now and I daily drive my RCF. I frequently make road trips from NY to Boston and Philly for work and there is zero drone in the cabin at cruising speed... now if you're doing an extremely slow acceleration holding one gear, then yes you're going to purposely induce drone. But under normal driving and cruising circumstances there is none.

Thanks for all the kind words and constructive criticism guys. Regarding quality, please remember we warranty our systems for one million miles. If you have any issues with our parts whatsoever please hold us to it. We wouldn't hold the position we've held in the market for nearly 40 years without taking care of our customers.

Rafi and RR-RACING.COM will sell a borla with modified tips.
look for it on their website.
love my borla sound. No drone at 85mph and at 2k rpm in 8th.
will start to get loud at 3k plus

BORLA is a top notch product and most certainly a company that stands behind their warranty. I know, since I had a minor issue and BORLA gave me a whole new rear section ( no questions asked )!! As for drone, there is non on just the borla cat back. Introduce PPE headers into the mix, man that thing is crazy loud. I love the sound of my car, yet to "quite" the car I tend to drive in N or Eco mode. Almost always, I get in the RCF and its two clicks into sport plus. Loud or not, I love the sound. Its def the best bang for buck, as well the best sounding of all the systems.
I independently had a "rev" off with a few RCF buds. My Borla ( sans headers at the time ), An Apexi, and a Joe-Z. The owner seeking the new exhaust went with BORLA over the other 2, even though the tips were a bit smaller. Why? " it just sounds the best ".
People always look twice and doubt that the rich v8 growl is coming from a Lexus. Its always funny. Then when trying to catch up, they only see the tails lol

Did it get much louder with PPE headers than just Borla?
