So i finally installed my borla X pipe and the car is NOTICEABLY quieter inside the cabin than stock lol outside the car does sound a little bassier on cold starts, but once it warms up its almost like the engine isn't on. I do notice the engine appears to be reving a little faster, but nothing night and day.
My theory is the resonator was letting mostly lower frequencies get through so it gives a perception of higher volume and now that thats gone it sounds quieter but I didnt take before and after decibel readings.
I think the OE Gen 2 mufflers are just way too efficient at noise reduction. Maybe time to axe them off or do long tubes and really let it sing
