I had the Roush Axle Back exhaust on my car for a while, with the resonator in place, it is a good way to get mean sound out of the stock car. The cold starts were always loud and even louder in the winter. Cruising speeds and you could barely hear the exhaust. Cabin noise was also not bad, just that rumble whenever you hit the throttle. On the down side, sometimes i felt like due to the resonator and stock exhaust tubing, the flow was being choked and caused back fires and pops. I was not sure if that was due to back pressure and the flow not running through the pipes freely or the Roush saying "Hello, I m here you know".
Now i have the Borla Touring Catback, this thing is quiet as heaven. Cold start almost as quiet as the stock exhaust. You get on it though, you can still hear the rumble of the exhaust with the windows down. Windows up, almost as quiet as the stock exhaust. Cruising speed, there is no freaking exhaust, its just road, wind and a little bit of engine noise. I felt some power gain though, the tires are getting loose more frequently even with the low throttle input, it must be in my head right? lol. I also have the AFE pro dry s drop in filter so i m not sure if its a combination or just the exhaust. The throttle input also improved.
I recommend this exhaust for people who DD their car and don't want to wake up their neigbors in the morning. It is enough loud to let people know that you are rocking this legendary coyote on high rpms. I prefer the car to be loud when i m really getting on it and going fast. This is it! Its loud when it needs to be, let me put it that way. I don't recommend this for people who are looking for an aggressive and really mean exhaust noise. For loudness rating, i am giving Roush a 7.5 and Borla Touring a 5.
A side note here for DRONE, the Roush had a deep annoying tone if you wanted to accelerate on 6th gear while running below and around 2000 Rpm! I wouldn't consider that Drone but some people might find it disturbing in the cabin. The Touring on low rpm 6th gear acceleration is really quiet. No Drone at any rpm so far. This exhaust does deserve the name Touring after all!
