Before I had the shop put them on, these are the tiny stock tips:

After I got it home, taken about 2 feet away as opposed to 10 feet.

Racing Beat did a series of tests against the stock exhaust:
"Based upon our initial test sessions, it appeared that the Mazda engineers did not leave much "untapped" horsepower behind in the stock exhaust system. Although it appears there might be modest power gains available from a "cat-back" exhaust system, be wary of big horsepower claims from any aftermarket exhaust system.
Our testing has provided the following results:
Stock production engine - with muffler removed +5 HP
Stock production engine - with RB muffler + 3.5 HP
Stock production engine - with aftermarket system "A" muffler + 3.5 HP
Stock production engine - with aftermarket system "B" muffler + -1.5 HP"
Source
I don't want to pay $800-1k more for 3.5HP, but leaving the tiny tips on wasn't really an option with my body kit anyway since it didnt match, so I went with the Borla exhaust tips.
Thanks

I didn't buy it for my friends, I bought it for myself. Nobody knows what it's supposed to sound like anyway, but glad to hear you like the way your Borla exhaust sounds :-)
