@@GarageBuds Ah ok thanks for the reply, I've been close to buying this for a while now. The problem is that I have an hour commute both ways to work, and if there's any drone it would drive me nuts. I've read a lot of mixed reviews about the drone, some say it's there, some say it isn't, makes me hesitant but I tend to believe your insight.
@@flopkin I've had the Borla S-Type Catback installed on my MK7 GTI for 2.5 years now. It's a DSG, but I drive it in manual mode exclusively and tend to rev mainly in the 2500-4500 range. The Borla's a beautiful upgrade in sound, and the DSG burps are pronounced. To me, there's ZERO drone when at higher cruising speeds, honestly. Not sure why the GarageBuds would be experiencing it. Mine's stock otherwise, and I've done plenty of highway trips. No drone at all. Again, I never drive it in Drive or Sport, only manual, so I'd surely hear it (auto modes downshift at lower revs for efficiency, of course). Your mileage may vary, but reviews I read before purchasing it all said no drone at all, and it's been the same for me.
Does your exhaust make a high pitched whistle or jet engine noise under heavy throttle? I’m looking to grab one but don’t want the high pitched noise any recommendations?
Not sure what that could be other than some vibration. Have you checked car from below? Make sure holding rubber harnesses are properly in place to dampen any vibration
No point in buying borla unless you are also buying a resonator to weld onto it. At that point you could have just purchased a different exhaust that already has the steps taken to prevent a droney exhaust.
Thanks for putting music in the background while trying to hear the exhaust.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Must get hat... need 5 more hp! 😂 Well done Garage Buds!
Real Ridez thanks buddy
Keep up the great videos mate!
thanks!
Lol mechanic is like "be a hell of a lot easier if I didn't have this extra arm and camera in my wrench space"
How is the drone at 60-70+ mph on the highway? I've been debating on buying this. Also, is this the 2.5 inch or the 3?
There is considerable drone so not recommended for long trips and commute. It’s the 3” cat back

I don't have high pitch noise...it's very baritone tone
@@GarageBuds outside is there a jet engine noise while wide open throttle past 5k rpm or not ?????
@@GarageBuds I’m about to purchase a 3inch version and wanted to know since many brought it to my attention!
not at all.... a deep rumble
How does it sound in the car?
It sounds great. Didn't add any annoying drum sound in the cabin
Are you running stock downpipe in this video?

I’m getting a weird screech on full throttle. Any recommendations?
Not sure what that could be other than some vibration. Have you checked car from below? Make sure holding rubber harnesses are properly in place to dampen any vibration
I know you probably wont see this, but can you send me the link to this exhaust? lol
