George, How do you like your Borla's
They aren't too loud, but I still have mixed emotions about them.
Any modified exhausts I had in the past were on 50's Ford Flathead engines. That was a kind of mellow, burble sound - That's what I expected and didn't get.
The Borla's are more of a moaning sound. Out of 8 owners I know that have them here in NE, they all love the sound, so I'm a loaner here. But then they are all younger then me.

The custom exhaust guy that installed them thought that they were not much louder than the original exhaust, but then he only ran it in the garage.
