    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    As I've stated before the Touring was definitely louder than I expected/wanted. I didn't love the system on this truck BUT I still love Borla! The company and customer service are top-notch! I purchased through an authorized dealer but I contacted Borla directly and respectfully gave them my...

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    Hahaha that was actually the best part of it. I had a couple in a Tesla at the market look at me like I raped their poodle! How dare you burn those poor dead dinosaurs!! :cry:

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    I agree. I learned an expensive lesson... that to me (and wife) the quiet inside is more important than the rumble outside. :)

    Adjust Power Running Boards Extend Speed?

    Tested, and nope. If you manually deploy when stopped they’ll retract when you drive off but then it reverts back to default... deploy/retract with the doors open/close.

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    I agree Sir. I had the stock system re-installed and silence has never sounded so good! The Borla definitely sounds mean! It’s awesome but IMO it’s not a “mild growl” as they claim, more like a roar especially when you’re on it. I really did like the agressive sound OUTSIDE but I (and my wife)...

    Adjust Power Running Boards Extend Speed?

    Yeah I know you can manually deploy them but who wants to do that every time you park? I’d like the option to auto deploy when parked and retract when driving. I don’t mind the look when it’s parked, I mean all running boards that aren’t power (most) are “deployed” all the time anyway. Just my...

    Adjust Power Running Boards Extend Speed?

    Why don’t they just stay extended when parked? It could be an option in settings. I mean if you park, get out and lock the doors you‘re obviously gonna want them extended to get back in, right? Would be especially helpful when it’s raining. :)

    Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

    Hahaha that’s a fact! Nice choice of crayon colors! That really took a lot of time and effort though, thank you!

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    The 3.92 should have better acceleration than 3.21, but does anyone have any idea of the time difference from 0-60? Are there any actual numbers out there?

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    My shop said the Borla tips are another reason it‘s louder... smaller pipe going into bigger is like a megaphone effect and amplifies sound.

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    :ROFLMAO: Exactly! One man's perfect sound is another man's divorce... which is why I've decided that just reading opinions online really doesn't give you solid info. Exact same system on exact same truck... some love it, some hate it. I rolled the dice and lost. :(

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    ;) yes but if I recall you ended up there AFTER you had both a Magnaflow cat-back and a Borla Touring cat-back installed. I wish I would've tried the Borla muffler-only option first. The major problem I've discovered is one man's "beautiful and perfect" is another man's "Holy crap are you...

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    Soooo... I'm going back to stock. My local shop owner said he can weld Humpty Dumpty back together again and re-install for $150, says it'll be good as new. That seems like the best exit strategy at this point. I'm not confident the extra Borla resonator will dampen it down enough and I don't...

    Borla Touring System comparison vs Stock

    Thanks, I thought some people might be looking to unload OEM. A guy in SoCal already contacted me. If I decide to go back stock what’s the going rate for a Borla touring cat-back with about 20 miles on it? LOL.

    Yeah that’s really fortunate, I guess that made it a lot less painful :mad:
