Borla vs Vibrant Exhaust

So I was looking at getting a new axleback. Question is shoud I go Vibrant or Borla muffler's? Remember it's on stock piping. I don't care about performance. But I figure Borla is pretty much like TRD so it shouldnt be loud. But I have also heard Vibrant isint loud at all either.

Which one is better?

Their is no black and white answer to that question 'which one is better'. All about taste, what you want to spend etc. How you narrowed it down to Vibrant vs Borla and not TRD, HKS, Magnaflow etc might help you decide between these two as well.

I4 or V6? Theyre 2 completely different sounding engines. Heres my V6 with with the borla and a resonator delete. Hearing it may aid in your decision.

Short clip of the muffler, but you get the idea of how it would sound. All i did was change the stock muffler.

It is a 2.5, I have been looking at magnaflow as well. I will be keeping the resonator and it will all be stock piping size.

I have a 2.5 11 Camry with Borla mufflers and all stock piping. It sounds very good, better than the Civic Si IMO.

And FYI, if you've ever heard the TRD exhaust, it's made by Borla. Only the actual Borla version is louder than the TRD one.

The vibrant doesn't sound anything like the subaru, but you can have your own unique sound with it. Especially with resonator delete.

Omggggg yesss. 2GR + Borla = <3. There's a reason that Porsche uses Borla as their OEM.
