How do you like the sound? I’m considering the borla version.
The sound is deep and kind of mellow. When you are sitting at a traffic light it is very quiet but has a nice rumble to it. When you give it the beans its got a loud low tone that I like. I've only driven it to work but so far I love it. You can also hear the turbo a bit better. I'll get a video after work on the drive home.

Good to hear. Look forward to your video if you’re able to get it.

Tree pollen is all but gone now in Plant City, so today, Pepper got a bath, a polish & just because it needed a blow dry, a ride & a fill up.

I washed with Simple Green in a bucket of water & used a soft bristle truck brush. I polished with the last of the Last Coat I had on hand. (Spray on, let haze, wipe off.) Easy pee-zee! Next time I will polish with Torque Detail I purchased when they had a bogo deal.

Went to Shell for the fill up, Premium 93, $3.53!!! (Thanks Joe!) But I used the $50 Shell gift card I got at Publix for $40 bucks. (I have a bunch of these.)

Not related, but also this week I installed a larger pressure tank for our well water system & also new back flow protector (brass) to replace the pvc valve that decided to start leaking.

Soon, April 11th to be exact, wifey & I will be headed to our summer place in Franklin, NC. There, tree pollen will just be in its infancy!!! ?

Unfortunately only trying to diagnose a creak/groaning noise when breaking gently. Cleaned everything, including running the pads over glasspaper, inspected bushings, greased caliper pad guides, dial gauged discs and hub, which both seem to have a runout, not terrible but I think it's there. I need to upgrade my dial gauge arm in order to be sure. After this operation, did a drive test, noise is gone, again :(. I was here before and it always came back after a while. It's either amplified by heat (glazing of the pads) or rust or deposits. I will get to the bottom of this. On the other side I already replaced a hub and bearing during warranty.

Did the https://mountains2metal.com/ Bumper Grille insert install because Arizona is made out of rocks. Easy-peasy, 5 minute job. Ordered on the 17th, received and installed on the 20th.

Does anyone know if this would interfere with adaptive cruise control? I think the sensor is located right in the area of the insert?

Looks great! and its functional

Yes it will...there is one like the one you posted above, for those with adaptive cruise control...lot more difficult to install from what I have read on this forum.
