The better half saw the box delivered from the Ring app. What was that box she asked... Uh oh. Haha

She is already nervous it will be too loud and just shook her head.

I'm smiling but went to take better half to lunch and she is not...haha.

Maybe save some fuel babying the acceleration? Wow

Sounds oh so familiar, although I have the Type -S... my better half told me she'd never drive it because it was too loud. I told her good, I won't have to worry about the inevitable curb rash you always put on the wheels. :p

Even though my truck rides better than her '19 RDX Aspec, she said we will take her car on long trips. Just wish my truck would corner like hers at high speed... Haha

I am finding I am accelerating a bit slower

Very Cold Start and a little concerning it started doing this before the exhaust was put on

I'm finding myself babying the throttle around the house and in town. As a result I've seen better mpg in city driving and quite shocked. Fear of waking neighbors and scaring vehicles beside me on take off. Could be the lighter foot, but I'm thinking better overall mpg will be there.

Went on a trek I normally take a couple times a week and reset the fake mpg tracking. Quite different as I've done this before the exhaust as it's in town and a touch if interstate. Looking forward to getting on a stretch of road with no limits and see what she does.

I can say this though, even the touring is an eye opener when it comes to throttle response. Both in reaction and noise. Enjoy even the engine breaking as I'm slowing down. But man I'm getting old as I even cringe sometimes. The better half... ALWAYS

Did it lower the volume of the sound or just change the sound. Mine is too loud.
Both. But to clarify, I think the system is still too loud. Borla has totally missed the mark on the Touring system. They are pandering to children who like obnoxiously loud exhaust systems.

Thanks...appreciate the input. Hate to say but I went back to stock. I had the S-Type and way too loud. Not only loud for neighbors, but very loud in the cab for me. You helped me to not go from S to Tour to Stock.

Looking to sell my Borla S-Type. Only used it for 12 hours! Will give great deal!! Boxed up and ready to ship. Great, but just a bit too loud for where I live.
