I've had my Borla for 45,000 + km's and drive about 100km a day, 80 of those at highway speed of about 110km/h. The is no drone at that speed, the sound is noticeable but does not wear on you (if the Focus had better sound dampening you would not be able to hear it). The loudest is of course when you're accelerating or really laying into the throttle. Another local Focus owner has a Vibrant and it is louder than the Borla, with another having a Magnaflow which is equal to the Borla. If I was to buy another exhaust right now, even with cheaper alternatives, I would still purchase the Borla.

Now if you want a loud Borla, try waking up to a '97 Cobra with long tube headers and a Borla XR1 racing exhaust every morning for a couple years. Pretty damn loud on the track too.
