So between the Borla muffler replacement and the MBRP catback which gives a deeper cleaner sound? Which one puts a bigger smile on your face without excessive drone? I was dead set on going with Borla muffler replacement and then if I wasn’t happy removing resonators. However I have read through this entire thread and I feel based on your posts we are trying to achieve the same end result!
Tough call TBH. The borla setup was quieter, but not by much. Probably cause of the resonators still on. But it gave a great sound. The MBRP on the other hand gives a great sound as well. This system is a louder at start up and acceleration which does yield a nice smile or smirk in doing so, and quietens down nicely at cruise. Deeper and cleaner might go to the Borla just by a tad. Meaner and a tad louder goes to the MBRP. But, with that said, if I towed allot, I would go Borla muffler route just for the added benefit on the factory resonators. To me, the MBRP system is a good buy for the price you pay TBH. I think I paid $650 shipped for the black coated setup. I will say this...the driver side pipe doesn't align up very well no matter how many times I readjust. Seems the hangar is welded little off because if I center the tip, the rubber hangar is pinched hard with the hangar...so I'll have to get that adjusted at a shop. My only complaint. The MBRP muffler isn't as pretty as Borla's either, just FYI if that matters. But given the two setps, I'd go MBRP again. The acceleration is kinda nice
Thanks for your detailed opinion, and if you can get a clip that would be great! I still however am still on the fence on what to do. I mentioned i dont want any drone to a buddy and he said go Corsa because the have some type of patented no drone technology. After looking into it however they want $1400 for the setup and I’m not sire i want to spend that much on exhaust.Tough call TBH. The borla setup was quieter, but not by much.

I'll see what I can do on the video.

Good luck man, I found that system just too loud. Many people complained about it, thats why Borla came out with their overpriced resonator.
If you had it, it would be a "bottle" style resonator, basically a 4" diameter "bulge" on a 3" pipe. It's not a can type like the tailpipe resonators. There is a 3" perforated tube inside and what looks like a piece of cardboard around that for sound absorption. I can't imagine it does much. Maybe they deleted it for 2020?
My Limited has it as well. Mine’s an early build (03/18).
Still not sure which makes the difference as I've seen 4wd models with it too. Maybe they decided it didn't do much or maybe they changed something else that made it unnecessary.Yes this is why it’s sorta important to list in your signature what you have. This way when folks compare, it’s an actual apple to apple comparison and hopefully that will help others.
Perhaps
Long bed vs short bed? Shot in the dark.Still not sure which makes the difference as I've seen 4wd models with it too. Maybe they decided it didn't do much or maybe they changed something else that made it unnecessary.
Doesn't matter much though, mine's coming off since the MBRP system goes all the way to the cat flange. I guess this isn't an MBRP thread though.
