When I had a 2011 ECO, I had the cat back Borla installed. I liked it, nice sound at idle and when you got on the throttle and no drone on the highway. I hated look of the stock tail pipe. The Borla looked great.
There are not to many videos of it, but the ones I see it does not sound "ricey". I wish there was a video of a manual 1.4t with the borla going through the gears.
I used to have a Stainless Steel Borla cat back on my Honda. I liked it...until I snagged it on a parking garage grate and made a pretzel of it. If a Cruze version was similar quality...definitely not Ricer sounding.
