Hey guys, just bought my first Corolla. I am wondering what your opinions are on exhaust.... I would like something throaty but not loud. Just want the the muffler and not the entire cat back system. Anyone try out a Borla yet? 
arty:With lower restriction aftermarket mufflers, be advised that they can cause a loss of torque and throttle response, which will reduce fuel economy. With the current Obama administration and the ever rising prices for fuel, fuel economy is an important consideration.
It is about impossible to make a 4-cylinder economy engine sound like a high performance V-8 engine. The common result sounds like a vacuum cleaner with a wasps nest inside. :lol:
The most effective way to make a 4-cylinder engine sound like a high performance V-8 is to record the exhaust sound of a 1970 Chevelle SS 454, run some speakers under your car near the muffler and have a CD on loop playing the sound of the 454's exhaust. :thumbsup:
Here is a link to the Thrush Exhaust website where you can listen to the different sounds of various mufflers. Keep in mind though, it's not going to sound the same for a 4-cylinder car -

The axle back system I ordered was from SUMMIT RACING part number 20154 for a 13 corolla S $309, the system almost fits but needed to be modded. The over the axle pipe was not bent quite enough to fit the flange and the tip stuck out too far but both where easily fixed, otherwise the hangers fit good.But if you want a really good sound, this is it. Borla did a very good job on this one, i've had aseveral aftermarket systems but this one is by far the best i think toyota could put this on as an add on to the S model and some wheels and maybe that bushwacker trim I saw from the 13 sema show and that would be a sweet ride. all you would have to do then is lower it a little and your good. Just my opinion. if you want to here mine I put a clip on youtube look for "BORLA EXHAUST 2014 COROLLA" and look for my name "MARTIN EVANS" and enjoy. finally got these pictures to load, I knew that 6th grade education would kick in one day.

Nice video! GoPro with a suction cup, I presume? I like the sound.
(Not sure what that strange chirping noise is though, you should have a mechanic look into that...:laughing: )
What did you have to do to mod it? It does look like the tip is sticking out a bit far. Have you done anything about that since you made the video?
