True dual borla!

I wouldn't go back to the y pipe configuration, true duals will always sound better to me, there's little to no rasp. Is your car an auto or manual? I ask because with my hooker muffler at 70 I'm doing 16-1700rpms and theirs no drone, where I would think with an auto there may be some drone

the duals with single chambers will be quite a bit louder and should flow better overall. another thing to think of is ground clearance with duals. Personal choice really

in a y pipe exhaust i didnt really like the borla setup. too much rasp. not as bad as most exhausts though. added an inline resonator and it sounds much better now.

not a big fan of borla, sounds like an expensive loudmouth aka very raspy to me IMO

I liked my duals with single chamber setup (2.5" h-pipe, single chamber knockoffs)

I like my Borla and have always gotten compliments about the way it sounds.
