So have had the car since December and have had a set of Borla s type axle backs on since.
Loved the sound of them, and wouldn't want anything louder, but they had one major problem and that was the drone in the cabin.
They are advertised as no drone, and I've read plenty of people stating they have no drone, but they definitely drone so I finally got fed up with them and grabbed some corsa touring axle backs - 2nd hand from gibbo in fact.
Popped them on today and the guys rev'd it up in the garage and it sounded great- was surprised that they didn't sound a kick in the arse off the Borla - they have more of a rip to them but no rasp at all.
So I jumped in the car and took off - and well- holy hell - the sound in the cabin is non existent. Like seriously night and day difference. I had to open the window just to hear it.
Now ... this leaves me with the slight dilemma of whether to pop an h pipe on there.
Anyway - sound bite below for anyone interested - there aren't too many about so thought I'd add to them. You'll have to excuse the engine fan noise - the Lund tune apparently just sets the fan to maximum no matter what you are doing.
In other news - when the car was up I got a good look at my tyres - which turn out to be be nearly bald after 3.7k miles :shrug:
So I've some MPSS on order now too
