I've heard the Borla, and it's a beautiful sound. Make sure you go with the XR race series (or whatever it's called). With a turbo car, under cruising, there isn't much boominess to the exhaust (like there is w/ an N/A). BUT, floor it and the car just friggin yells. Awesome sound.

I've never heard the magnaflow on these cars, but on my previous car I had one (chevy cavalier...yeah, I know -- I was that guy). Not a fan of the sound. Too throaty and not enough bass/manliness/maturity. Now, I understand this is anecdotal.


If you want the entirely other end of the spectrum, get a flowmaster. Such a raw, unbridled sound -- but in a really good way. These motors sound unique, and the FM takes advantage of that. My roomie's got on on his N/A, and while it is loud, it's unlike any other car on the road.

Hell, my old LR exhasut, with no cat, has an edelbrock. It's got plenty of base, and is nasty at WOT. I love it!

Actually the old flamethrower was my original lindsey 3inch exhaust. I've been through several different setups now. Sometimes its hard to keep them straight.

The video for some reason looks much darker than it actually was.
