The Borla is pretty quiet in the car, even with no block-off plates. I bought mine with the adjustability because I like a quieter car, but mostly run it now with no plate-all the sound, and it sounds nice, is out behind the back bumper- quality piece, stainless, 1 million mile warranty- Still think I may, at some point, get the electric cut-out, but not in any hurry- no regrets

Well, I had it put on and it sounds great. Fully open it has an amazing rumble while cruising, but it wakes up when you get on it. Overall, it isn't too loud but just right. Of course, the system was adjusted from my V6. The muffler shop used the over the axle part from the stock exhaust and also some of the i-pipe. Essentially, have a mix of both systems. All I need to do is learn how to drive stick better 
I guess I have a different opinion than most in this thread. I can't stand mine, I'm glad I didn't pay for it (was on the car when I bought it).
The rubber hangers that hold the tips up rip after a couple years and it's extremely hard to get the tips to look straight and not slanted to one side, and IMHO I think the tips look stupid as well compared to some other options out there. Also mine whistles at WOT (with plate and without), which sounds incredibly stupid.

Are you sayin they hang uneven with the hangers still in place or just when the hangers are broken?
My buddy had corsa exhaust on his and had the same problem, they just didnt hang properly.
