Got 2 of each in stock. If you're ready to do it up, call and ask for Kyle for special Thansgiving party-time pricing.

I have had it for about a week now. Keep in mind that while I think it sounds the best, it is not the loudest. Mine is just a bit louder than stock. There is the other Borla that costs a tad more that may be worth checking out.

Actually, I think the quality is very good however, It took some fiddling with the hangers and brackets under the car to get it aligned at the back.
Using my Rhino Ramps, I did some adjusting and tweaking. I am finally happy
with the look.

i dont know if its just the recording quality, but the Alta catback sounds kind of tinny to me. The borla sounded deep and rich. Personally i wouldnt want the exhaust to be obnoxiously loud anyway.

Nice sound and vid. I like the mounted camera. The Alta system is great, no doubt.

Is that the street or sport borla?
And douse the Borla of Alta have a drone in the car, an if so is it so bad that I could not go no a trip for more than an hour?

The full turboback exhaust is not bad in ALTA form. There is no drone in 6th gear unless you're traveling faster than 85mph, which could be a problem for some folks. If you're a law-abiding citizen, the ALTA exhaust sounds excellent.
