After installation i start up the car and.......boom , i got noise that brake
my ears , its was so loud that all the neighborhood wake up from the noise .

Now what i can do about it ? i cant drive daily with this noise .
if i will not find solution , i will instal back the stock test pipe .

when i in the track i not have problem , but daily i cant drive like this .

Do you have some advise for me to reduce the noise ?

thanks

Dont scare me lol. I have an ETS extreme catback and test pipe with an open dump..... It has not come in yet but I have been looking forward to it....

 

ditch the test pipe get a HFC

I have an ETS V2 quiet catback with a test pipe.. and to me its loud but not to the level you are talking about:

 

Very impressive , but mine is much louder .
You have lucky that you dont installed the VTS EXTRIM version .....

 

I met up with an Evo owner who has the turbo back Turbo XS with the HFC. It wasn't extremely loud. It sounded nice.

 

Yes , you are right , but they not have BORLA cat back.....

the problem , is this combination .

with other cat back the story will be different

 

I was thinking of getting the Borla myself. I thought it was a little too quite at idle and sounded to high pitched when the rpm's increased. Always been a fan of Borla though. They sound great on the V-8's

 

like I said before to significantly quiet it down you need to do the following

1) get a HFC and ditch the test pipe
2) Get another inline muffler

Both will sacrifice performance a tad bit in return it will give you a nice and quieter car.

I been contemplating my switch to an ETS HFC.. but I am happy making 400+awhp on E85 lol... People tell me my car is not that loud.. But I guess I gotten older lol and I live in a nice community.
I sure don't want the neighbors knowing when I am coming out lol.

 

That's gonna be loud.. at least for me..

 

But doesn't the Borla only have an in-line muffler before the rear axle.... If so, where would this second muffler go?

The OP is dead-on with his comment that it's the combination of the Borla with the new test-pipe. The best suggesting so far are a high-floe cat, but anything that flows better than OE is probably still going to be loud.

I've always thought of Borla as loud and not very good. Too fancy-looking by half. Sort of the exact opposite of Magnaflow, which are, in general, relatively quite, pretty darned good, and not fancy at all.

 

Not going with the straight pipe? Thought I saw that on CT Evo....

 

Magnaflow makes a canister style Inline muffler that will fit in place of the test pipe
