Default What should I do?

Well my Borla Stingers and O/R H-pipe sound amazing, but its just too loud for where I live in CA. The drone is getting to be almost unbearable when I'm going up steep hills at night when it gets cold out. I'm also afraid to go WOT because a cop will hear me within a 2 mile radius. What would you guys do?

getting back the stock H pype would be better since the borlas are a bit more pricey than a O/R H. Would suck having them on the shelf.

i voted for option #3, if its the drone you dont like then switch the axle backs. or if its too loud go back to stock h pipe. but i voted for #3 bc IMO no such thing as too loud!!!

I voted Put the stock mufflers back on (keep O/R h-pipe)
Because thats what I did and It was perfect IMO.
No drone. but the trumpeting is there still. No way to avoid that without cats, or some other exhasut mod. But its not bad at all, less than with aftermartket mufflers still.

I have the same setup, its not that loud......the only time its really loud is if you are getting into them.....but its not too bad if you keep the RPMs below 2500....I have never had any problems with it being "too loud"....most people will tell you the same thing.

yea if its to loud then i would put the stock h pipe back on. I have the same setup but i love how loud it is. sounds so good but that just my opinion, i would put the stock h pipe back on because like you said at WOT cops will here you an you dont wanna attract the cops.

Thats 2 mile radius is no lie, lol.
I left my friends weekend house in a secluded area. And once I hit the main road I let er rip. He called 30 seconds later to tell me he could hear me clearly, lol. And this was around 1 1/2 miles away.
