I ended up going with the Borla touring and am totally happy with it. It is quiet in the cab and no drone but opens up nicely when given some throttle. It has a nice deep growl to it without being over whelming in a daily. I also went with the one that came with the quad tips and it looks awesome. Thanks everyone for the input.

I have the Borla S-type and there is no drone in it. Since it is supposed to be louder than the touring, I wouldnt think it would drone either. I will say though, I wished it was a bit louder lol.

Agree.  I have the S-Type as well and it has no drone.  Only issue I have is I keep getting rattles.  Always seems like it's the last clamps coming loose closest to the exhaust exit.  Anyone else find this?  Any suggestions beyond getting it welded?  I don't hear it on the road, generally when going slow up a grade or pulling through a drive-through.

Mine doesnt do so, so not sure what would be causing it. Granted after a couple of heat cycles, I went under and made sure everything was tight. The only issue I have with mine is that they didnt cut the old exhaust enough for the end of the tails to be even with the bumper. They still out a few inches.

Thanks for the reply.  I've tightened everything a few times now.  Solves it for a while but tends to come back.  Maybe will try new/different clamps.  Love the exhaust as a whole, just kind of embarrassed by the rattles.

I feel you. I would be too. Cant stand it to make noises that "shouldnt" be there lol. The plastic trim around my door rattles ever so slightly...drives me nuts.

I just did a 1800 mile trip from Minnesota to Wyoming towing my 25' 6000 lb travel trailer with my 6.2 High Country with the Borla Touring setup.

Under a heavy load, like a 5%-6% grade, it's loud until it downshifts and puts the rpms at or over 2000 rpm then it quiets down because it has less a load on it.

10.3 avg. mpg for the whole trip. High as 12 one tank(no wind) and low as 8 in the wind.

One thing for sure the 6.2 has more than enough ass towing.

The Touring has no drone at all. It is perfect for me since I didn't want real loud just an aggressive sound. When towing a 5000 lb load it does get a little loud going up grades. The only reason I stayed away from the S-type was there is no difference between the sound  between it and the Atak on a ZL1. It was way to loud for a daily. It literally wakes up the neighbors when he starts it.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
