Eville Rich Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm late to the exhaust mod game. So far my 2007 LGT has the original exhaust system at ~143k miles. But I'm starting to hear some sounds that suggest rot inside the system or otherwise something not quite right. I've put off a lot of the "fun" mods - no tuning or suspension bits, other than Whiteline bushings and front swaybar links. But I'm thinking it might be time to have a little fun with things. So I'm considering a complete re-do of the system, replacing the downpipe through to the end, then adding the tuning component. I'm not a fan of loud exhaust. So for aftermarket, the Borla system seems to get the consensus on the quietest. I'm not clear on what downpipes would be a good fit or if the Borla kit covers everything back from the downpipe. Is see that Invidia downpipes mate to the Borla. Anyone have suggestions on downpipe/exhaust system combinations? Again, I'm looking to keep it relatively quiet. A little louder than stock is fine, but I have a motorcycle for getting my exhaust noise jollies. Thanks for any input!

JazzAvi8r Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 i have the borla and Cobb catted DP on my wagon and i love it. it's great for daily driving as it isn't unbearingly loud, but at wide open throttle, she sings quite nicely. just make sure you get a solid tune after installing the downpipe.

JustCallMeNick Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The Borla sounds like a good choice for you. People on the forum say it's one of the quieter catbacks. You can just get the catback for the noise and leave the rest stock. If you change the intake or any other part of the exhaust though you will need a tune. You probably don't need a tune for just a catback. If you're looking for performance, I recommend getting an AccessPort, a downpipe, and a tune. http://www.cryotuneperformance.com/ http://www.tuningalliance.com/ Dave and Cryo Tuning and Mike at Tuning Alliance. Contact at T.A. is Brittany. TA will sell you parts too, unsure about cryo. Also, you may need a ~$40 3" to 2.5" adapter for a 3" aftermarket downpipe. I think the stock catback and Borla are both 2.5". What area are you in, friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Borla is a quality system. And the price isn't any worse than the garbage you see on flea bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I’m catless with the Invidia Q300 and I love it. Quiet enough idle that I can pick up my gf at her house but still get a nice rumble when you wanna step on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henhead Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 3rd the Borla. Looks almost like the stock tips, just a little bigger. Purrs nicely at idle and it opens up nicely if you get on it while still having very little drone in the wagon. I have mine paired with a Invidia catted downpipe. If I hadn't gotten the deal on the downpipe I would have gone for the Cobb or Grimmspeed as I prefer the location of their catalytic converter a bit more.
