Exhaust difference What would be the differences in sound between an fully open Borla, and my same car with a stock catback and e-cutout?
I'm considering doing this to have loud/quiet on-demand, my neighbors have a bounty on my head

I think fundamentally they would be pretty close, but to my ear, a LM and open Borla sound different. I'll tell you having it closed will quiet the car down nice and get nice and loud as you get on the gas.
I say DO IT!!!

the borla will be qieter inside the car...due to the exhaust exiting the tailpipe.
a cutout exits under the car (typically).
both are going to be similar to an observer standing nearby
