If you plan on off-road driving, you may want to pick a system other than Roush, as I understand it exits under the rear bumper.

I wanted a system similar in appearance to the stock, but with much nicer tips. I also wanted a deeper tone and no drone at all (I already have a car with plenty of LOUD). I went with the Borla Touring Cat-back. It has a resonator as part of the system. Both my wife and I are pleased with the exhaust note: deep, but not too loud for her ears.

If you plan on a lot of off-roading, go with a turn-down exhaust. MBRP makes a very nice system. If they offer theirs with a resonator, you want it.

I went to the Borla website and it looks like this would be the only way to go if I were to get one from them. But it only shows the system for the 2011? Do they not make one yet for the 2012 or am I wrong? I wouldn't think there would be any difference between the stock exhaust on the '11 and '12.

Look at MBRP.

They make a good system. If they made a 2010 and a system equal to the Magnapack... I'd be there

I have heard the Magnaflow cat back on a 2011 sound good wakes up at wot. also the borla cat back on a 2012 louder than the Magnaflow. I have the SW and love them but I also have the headers it definitely turns heads but I get complements on it, as in that sounds good is it stock. not dang that's loud.

Okay so now that I have a good list I want to compare. On loudness which of these would be the loudest. Pros/cons of any. Etc.

Borla Catback - Touring
MBRP 3 1/2" Catback Single
Magnaflow--obviously more than one type but similar to the others listed

well I know Magnaflow is the quietest at idle next would be Borla I have not herd the MBRP but I think it would be the loudest.

out of Magnaflow and Borla stainless works with the headers is the loudest the headers just gives it that note. I do have the most aggressive muffler from SW I would at least check them out stainless works on line or beefcack can set you up

From my reading, I hear that Corsa is a good exhaust and that it has zero drone.

Yes.
But the reason I chose the Borla Touring Cat-Back was the "dual exhaust" similar to stock.
Corsa used a single exhaust. It just didn't have the look I wanted. Had they both had "dual exhaust", I'd have chosen Corsa.

At full droop, does your borla hit the leaf springs?
