Don't do that...That would be the same exact thing as having an SLP Loudmouth system or straight pipes...If you're already running the Borla wide-open or close to it, you won't gain anything at the track...Sound will be similar too, but more unrefined (as nothing at all will be able to go through any muffler). As long as your running cats, the rasp would be minimal either way. Honestly though, I wouldn't cut up such an expensive and nice system for no gains and a similar if not worse sound IMO...At least Borla has a unique tone (love it or hate)
