Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

[grinch72]

Any feedback on how's the sound when MDS / Eco mode turns on?

I have stock exhaust and when I bought it I could hardly tell but now I'm either tuned into it or it's changed but I think it's awful...sounds awful and "feels" awful. I nervous to change because I'm thinking it just make it even worse.

You can hear the difference. I don't think it is a huge change but a change nonetheless. Whatever you don't like is more than made up for in how it sounds overall!

What he said...if you’re not willing to accept some trade off I’d stick with the stock. I have the Touring and love it btw

I just ordered the S type today and should be arriving withing 4 days, looking forward to hearing the Hemi as it should sound...after all it's why we install aftermarket exhaust systems on our vehicles in the first place.

I have the S-Type and it is a little loud on start-up but mellows quickly. It has also toned down some after 1500 miles. To me it is perfect, you can barely hear it on the interstate at cruising speed but what a sound when you get on it. Under normal driving you can definitely tell you have an exhaust but it is not too loud in my old humble opinion. I also asked Borla about the resonator. It is supposed to be a resonator that is installed in front of the muffler. They could not give me an estimate of when available. If it fits in front of the muffler, seems like any system could add it. Per Borla, it tones the Atak to the S-type and the S-Type to the Touring.

My exhaust installer called me today and stated that we cannot get the borla exhaust for the time being. Could it be that they are sold out or we using the wrong company to order from? Where has everyone else gotten theirs from.....???

If y'all could chime in with whom ya'll ordered your Borla exhaust with I'd be very much obliged...

I have the Magnaflow cat back, but I know www.hottexhaust.com is a supplier of both Borla and Magnaflow that often has discounts and free shipping that a lot of members used. ( I did in November and got 25% off and free shipping) Another supplier is www.gotexhaust.com that carries most brands. Hope this helps.

This is an interesting read. I have to say I really like the stock exhaust system. It is quiet cruising. but has a nice tone when stepping into it. This 5.7L Hemi makes nice music.

Cheers. Ron

Nick at "Got Exhaust" hooked me up with my Borla. Great price and fast delivery.

You won't be disappointed... It almost makes me look forward to driving to work every morning!

Great to hear... I only have about 200 miles on mine so looking forward to hearing what it sounds like in about a month.

Hey PorBoy... about how many miles did you run before pulling it off?

The volume was a bit shocking when I first installed my Borla Touring. It's had a few dozen heat cycles now and has mellowed out a lot.

I did a quick search on 'exhaust break-in'. I'm in agreement with most people here that their exhausts on their American V8's have mellowed over time. It seems out there in internet land most chatter is to the contrary. Does anyone know 'why' the break-in period might change the tone / volume? The case for 'mellowing' makes the most sense to me as there may be carbon build up that would dampen the sound. Curious if anyone knows.

I think some exhaust systems get louder over time, others mellow over time.

I think it was someone in another thread explaining how magnaflows and borlas due to how they're designed, mellow over time.
Supposedly some flowmasters and "Cherry bomb" style exhausts got louder.

Some exhausts if they get rust and leaks develop, will obviously let out extra sound with age!

Sadly since I don’t drive much that exhaust has about 400 miles on it.
