2017~2024 CX-5 Borla Exhaust

Fed Ex delivered the Borla exhaust system today. It is raining now, and I am anxiously waiting for the rain clouds to move on to begin installation.

OEM removed without issue.
 
Install was straight forward. Hangers wear lubed yesterday, and the bolts came off without a breaker bar (my CX5 is 2 months old).

Overall, the sound is mellow, and not over the top.

IF you want something louder and more aggressive, this Touring selection is probably not for you.

Sorry, but I will be using my Iphone to record the exhaust sound. Hopefully, that will provide a decent recording.

Look for an SPL/sound meter app. It doesn't even have to be accurate as long as it's linear enough to compare before and after to see the difference, especially inside the car.
