exhaust Q... too loud...

[indiana_red@hotmail.com (Ken Bates)]

Well, let me throw this in.  My MK1 16v is running but not driving yet.  If
that makes sense.  And I knew my Borla with the 2.25 TT Stainless Cat-Back
would be louder but i am a little surprised.  Ill reserve final judgement
untill I get to really hammer it on the back roads and live with it a little
but it is louder than I am comfortable with...right now.  A bit raspy and
"poppy"   That straight through design of the Borla makes if really feel
like a machine gun on your hand when you fell the exhaust stream.  ; )

Just my (little) experiance
