Default Can someone explain the differences in the Borla Exhaust Setups.

I am seeing numerous Borla setups available for the car including dual tip, quad tip, adjustable and non adjustable, true duals etc. Can someone explain the differences between these setups. Is there any difference in performance between any of the setups ? Is there any one setup that is the loudest ? Does one have a distinctive sound compared to another ?

thanks,

The Borla system comes with dual tips (4 all together) I believe they call them intercooled or something like that as well. I am also pretty sure you can get the system with dual tips (2 all together) also. True Duals have nothing to do with the Borla. The borla also come with several plates you can use to control how loud you want it...

The loudest setup...cutout.

Is the two tip Borla as loud as the adjustable 4 tip system ?

There are two systems that I'm aware of. One is the more common catback with the blockoff plates that control the flow through the muffler. The other is just a rear section that includes only the over-axle pipe and muffler and isn't adjustable. Both had the same dual intercooled tips on either side. There was almost $300 difference between the two last time I checked.
