Hi, Guest
See, that's where the MBRP is different. If you're not running a header, you won't need a resonator. You can cruise at quite the rip for hours without needing earplugs.
They're both good systems, it's just a matter of what approach do you want - deep and loud, or almost-as-deep and noticeably quieter.
As for the FJ mention, the MBRP fared about as well as the "top 3" and they've even moved to complete SS for all parts since the review. The review was a Gen 1 system.
I see that the MBRP rates 4dB higher at peak than the Borla, yet every clip I've ever heard of a Borla system sounds louder than the MBRPs I've had/heard. They're also rated at the same sound level for 4000 RPMs.
