listen, to be able to combine an exhaust system that is quite, yet doesnt sound like rice, and also have just as much power gain as others, go for it

Pros:
|
Great sound with good gains on the dyno
|
|
Cons:
|
the two bolts that connect to the do-nut flange are two short
|
|
Fitment was good and the sound is excellent! Very low rumble at idle and hardly and cabin noise at WOT and hwy speeds.
This exhuast connects with interconnecting tubing, therefore it gets rid of the axleback gasket.
Very good product IMHO.

Pros:

price, deep rumble, easy installation, stealthy
|
|
Cons:
|
not for those who want loud
|
|
The borla hush is very quiet at idle. It has the deep boxer rumble when you accelerate. The installation is pretty easy(use a friend and a lift). It looks very similar to stock from the rear(although the tips are larger and shinier). A great system for someone who wants the power without the noise and wants to retain the stock cats.

Good quality product. Easy to install.
Word of caution to those mating it with a turbo XS downpipe or other 3" flange (as opposed to the stock donut gasket attatched to the cat converter):
You will need to purchase a 5" long piece of 3" in diameter stainless tubing and a 3" two bolt flange. The stock slip on attatchment it comes will only mate to the stock cat converter. Other than that, no real issues.

Pros:

sound (duh)
|
|
Cons:
|
fitment with diff guard (see my $2 fix in EJ20 forums)
|
|
Installed on a '02 WRX wagon. No drone on the highway. Great sound with the windows open. I had to modifiy the diff guard hardware to get a clear line to the bumper cutout. Currently fitted to OEM downpipe.
Also noticed a slight "wiggle" rattle when I turn the car off as the exhaust gas makes the pipes shake a bit.
Longer exhaust hangers should help fitment.

connecting bolts to 3rd cat are too short
|

Great system. Nice price too. Nice Boxer rumble that is not droning or too loud. Highly recommended. FYI, buy longer bolts to attach to 3rd cat pipe. Borla's bolts were too short.

Makes the boxer engine sound like it should
|
|
Cons:

At idle it has a nice rumble, at redline it has a great roar to it that just screams \'Boxer engine\'. Install made easy with fittings and clamps.
Looks close to stock so cops don\'t pay as much attention to you.
Best exhaust out there in my mind.

An awesome cat back for those looking to go \"sleeper.\" Keeps a nice stock twin tip look, and is one of the quietest cat-backs on the market. It does let just enough of that boxer rumble through to make the hairs on your neck stand up though.

Pros:

Very sleeper and very quiet even catless
|
|
Cons:
|
Read bottom
|

Only negative aspect is that this catback only bolts onto a stock d/p unless you buy a 3\" flat flange and have a muffler shop weld it on the cat back for you. I had to pay an extra 50 for this so all in all i payed 500.
Right now I am running catless. It has a nice low rumble to it. The exhaust is very quiet. Prob a few decibles above stock exhaust.

quiet yet deep sound, great gains, twin tip, sleeper 3 in

2.5 in flange

so many posatives
this is a quiet twin tip 3 in cat back with relly good power gains, the only issue is the 3 inches goes to 2.5 in the last little bit for mating up with the stock downpipe, i had that fixed for i think 60 bucks and they put a three inch flange on!

One of Thee quiet exhausts on the market.

Not as \"Hush\" as you\'d think. 2.5 flange. Some have reported that it hangs a little to the left.
|
|
Installed on an 04 wrx wagon. No droning at all for me. Took me about 45 min. tops. Very nice tone. Also, very stealth looking.

Pros:

great rumble down low and opens up on the high end, no drone good quality, great product
|
|
Cons:
|
if you have a aftermarket downpipe prepare to get a flange welded so you can use a flat style gasket instead of the factory donut
|
|
no drones, sounds bad (good) at 4500k+ rpms
mine bolted up great, had the slip flange welded so i could bolt up to a helix downpipe, soon after had the 2.5 hickup relapced with a full 3inch piece of tubing, you will want to eventuallly replace that flimsy slip joint with a thick flange (3/8\'s is ideal) that way theres no warping and no leaks i had mine fixed in fremont pm me fore shops names i paid 40 bucks had it fixed sounds great good stuff

I have had the exhaust since May 2004 and still look forward to driving my car. I love driving in the parking garage at work where you can really here it reverberate.
If you want non-rice sound, non gawdy appearance, and good value, you can\'t go wrong with this exhaust.

Sexiest duel tip for wrx. Others I have seen are thin and cheesy looking. Perfect sound. Stock looking...but better. Borla read my mind w/ this system.
I noticed better throttle response when I bolted this to the stock DP/UP.

|

This is the first power mod I\'ve made to my recently-purchased 2003 WRX wagon. I chose the Borla because I wanted an exhaust that retained a subtle look and wasn\'t unbearably loud. Not only does the Borla Hush fit those requirements to a T, but it also seems to provide a nice additional power gain...I can certainly feel more acceleration and the car seems stronger through the midrange. Save for the supplied mounting bolds (which were too short), I\'m very pleased with my decision.

High Quality, Million Mile Warranty, Incredible Sound, Not Too Loud.

If you like the ricey single tip, this doesn\'t have as good of a \"tuner look.\"
|
|
Dual Tip doesn\'t look ricey. High Quality Stainless Steel. The sound is not too loud, and everyone seems to agree its the best sounding exhaust. Doesn\'t make annoying drone sound on the freeway.
