Very good comparison video. The borla sounds the absolute best to me, with the paragon coming in second. The car with the full exhaust just not sound good at all to me, maybe its the video, but its just too raspy. The AWE is definitely not my cup of tea. These are American cars and should have in my bullshit opinion, a deep muscular sound. This video has done its job and now I will call Paragon manana and order my new setup.
