SW or Borla, can't decide, anyone heard both?

I'm really struggling with this one, both seem to be very high quality, both are engineered specifically for our Raptors, I've read about others saying the Borla wasn't loud enough for them (I want to get the most aggressive sounds without headers (CA sucks with Smog laws).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Also can't decide on Roush or an enclosed CAI.

I haven't heard the Borla in person but I heard the SW full setup on a 12 Raptor at a local show and it sounded AMAZING!!! Def very aggressive

There was a great thread no long ago with video on SW vs. Magnaflow...I know not Borla, but you can really get a idea of the SW

I had two different Borlas on the Vette....switched from the touring to the stinger, also running Kooks LTs with high flow cats...sounds awesome on the Vette.

As far as the Raptor...I think the SW is going to be a better choice...

Just my .02

I ordered the ford racing touring but never got it on. It was ordered for a screw and when we got it it did not fit. The part numbers were right but it lacked the length needed and the solution was a mid pipe that had another hanger on it...meaning there would be an un used hanger/bracket on the muffler section.

If you have a scab borla/ford racing looks nice, if a screw my feeling is it is NOT engineered for our trucks. I am looking AE roush, magnaflow, sw, etc. right now

I have a borla stinger on my 2011 with the resonator delete. The resonator delete is a must. From inside the cab theirs not alot of drone. From the outside it sounds pretty badass. Had my buddy drive my Raptor so I could hear it. Plus if its not loud enough install a electric cut-out. I get lots of thumbs up with the cut-out open lol
