How does a Borla 3" compare to a Milltek 3" in regards to sound?

Interesting. I have an annoying hiss at WOT and I'm assuming it's a clamp issue...
but now I'll be careful to look for issues with the exhaust.
Did you inspect the hanger bar that is welded to the front of the muffler? That partially tore off on my prior Milltek 3" when I hit a speed bump (force pulled backwards on the exhaust and ripped the hanger). This allowed exhaust gas out of the muffler but was hard to see. Just a thought.

I also think the Borla + LaBrees is awesome...but it's loud...
when a bunch of us raced at Laguna Seca both S4s with Borla + LaBree got black flagged for excessive decibels (Laguna has strict noise limits). I was fine with Milltek.
I rode in S4Lynx's Borla + LaBrees and there was definitely some interior drone. Could be because of his use of Dynamat for the sound system trapping the vibes...not sure.
Agreed, though - aggressive sound that is mean.

Hiss is usually a clamp issue FWIW. As for the hanger(s), all were inspected and welds were cleaned
up very nicely. Piggie is my hero, slaves over my car more than anyone else's and has fun doing it...or so it seems ;p

He must have taken a hit of crack before that play or something.
Oh well, I'm just looking forward to a solid game 6. Even if the Pistons don't win it all, they played a great Game 4 that really, really, really impressed me. Like I've said before, if there was ever another team I'd like to see win a championship, it would be the Spurs.
