Not to take business away from anyone but I've heard of quality problems with the Borla exhaust. I was looking at picking up one since I like its "stock" appearance but I was told of the quality issue and that another brand of stock looking exhaust would be out soon (a 2 1/2" model with should provide more hp than the Borla). I can't remember who the manufacturer is of the new exhaust but I can report back if anyone is interested.

I have not heard about any quality problems. The Borla uses a smaller diameter pipe after the "Y" connector and some say that keeping the larger pipe all the way back would increase power. I'm not sure why as there's only half the flow through each pipe after the split.
