2017~2025 CX-5 Borla Exhaust

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

Can you give a feedback on the mpg.effect after installing the Borla.

Sure. I topped off the tank last night, and willl provide provide an updated MPG at the end of the week. Right now, I am averaging 23.7mpg with combine driving and a heavy foot.
I was rained out today and will restart tomorrow.
should have thrown a tarp over the car and did the install. People are depending on you!

OEM removed without issue.
Initial start up and cold start.
At idle
Driving.
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.

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.
