i guess since no one else has posted up on here with a sound of Borla, i'll do it.

Ummmm, good luck with that!  You obviously have done ZERO research on the subject, so I suggest you just read until you can't read anymore. The 3L isn't "bigger" than the 2.5L. The difference is..... get this..... in the bore!! Both engines are rated at the same HP, but combine that same 200HP 3L with all of your SVT parts, and you come out ahead of that 200HP. Oh yeah, that extra 40 extra foot pounds of torque is nice too!

You have much to learn.
Who said they are heavier? They might be rated for the same HP, but join that together with the SVT goodies (UIM, LIM, cams, TB, etc.) and it will produces much more than that.
Again, don't jump to conclusions about modding this car. It will not help things to go smooth.

Oh, other BORLA advantage (Star Wars Guy: "Stay on topic! STAY ON TOPIC!"): it doesn't drone. I know this is a problem with a few of the exhausts, and Lord knows my stock exhaust with a removed resonator droned more than my freshmen year Bio professor.
