BORLA exaust scale comparison?

hey guys I'm about to install the borla ATAK type axle back..I have and X pipe and the Borla Touring axle back but it too quiet!
Everyone has seen the Borla video but I havent hear an ATAK live..
for those out there with Borla exhaust can you compare the touring, S and ATAK on scale 1-10? THANKS!

All I know is I am the loudest 5th Gen Camaro in my area, but I have the ARH longtubes also, so I am kinda cheating...

I have the Borla S cat back and it sounds sweet. I don't like drone and it has minimal. Even at hi-way speeds i can have a conversation with the gf or be on the phone with no problems. I have Kooks long tubes to put on it and i think it will sound amazing. Just not ready to install them yet because i don't want to do a tune and void my warranty. So since i'm biased i give my exhaust a 10

If you put long tubes on kiss the convo with the girl goodbye at highway speeds in 6th.

S Type has some of the meanest drone with long tubes, however it's SOOOO worth it =).

That's ok. I don't plan on putting the headers on for some time. When i do and it's too loud or too much drone i'll take off the axle back and sell it then buy the touring axle back or similar.

If stock is a 2, touring is a 3, S-Type is a 5, and ATAK is an 8. This scale is assuming 10 is the loudest possible cat back only.

This .. Once coupled with headers the SType is so incredible. IMO that tone is second to none, it will drone a lil with headers and without headers it isn't terribly loud.

Wait till you guys do a cam with them.... Heads roll at red lights

this gives a perfect vision of how it sounds..thanks!
yeah my touring sucks, it only sounds aggressive at start up nothing more..very quiet at low RPMs too. So I'll prolly go with the ATAK, I'm sure the X pipe will add a clean sound too it..
