I just bought a 2000 Boxster S which is equipped with Borla exhaust and, probably, had two cats deleted.

Sound on acceleration is awesome but there are some downsides. It is too high ( and ugly) when you are accelerating in a maneuver. It sounds like a four cylinders with direct exhaust. Besides, at cruising speed ( usually around 2.5k rpm) you barely can keep a conversation inside the car.

First question: is this the normal for a Borla ? I heard that Topspeed exhausts are not too loud and keeps a beautiful sound. Should I replace it ?

Thanks
