I finally did it. Here it is:
Bolt-on mods are not that bolt-on! Sheesh, we had some problems fitting this thing as you see on the timelapse video:
It's pretty, much nicer tips than stock, larger diameter, angled, more aggressive, better filling the space. Cans are also good looking. On second gen 987 cat-backs don't do much - HP potential is in the headers where all catalytic converters are. But supposedly this Borla adds a few horses thanks to an optimized air flow. Not really noticeable for me.
This is a poor, poor attempt to compare the exhausts:
First of all - you hear the deep, throaty sound right away at low RPM. Drone is there for a second, but easy to live with. This character (deeper vibe) stays at high RPM but my microphone setup doesn't capture it well. Then you hear that with Borla the noise peaks much quicker than with the stock exhaust. It's that much louder, maybe 20%? As much as naturally attractive is the violin, F1 like, high pitched sound of some race exhausts - Borla adds the much needed presence to the car. It's just there, when stock is almost completely neutral and lacking - Borla doesn't disappoint. I'm starting to love this thing.
Cheers!
