Well finally got it done. Went for the Borlas after some investigation on all systems. Most people are correct when they say that you really have to hear them in person to know for sure. The car definitely sounds better than stock and I think I notice a slight gain on performance but its most probably the new sneaker syndrome (run faster, jump higher, etc). I have made some observations that may help others looking to make a change.
The car wont sound like a V8. I know its been said 1000 times and I definitely thought it would be closer than it is, even with the new exhaust. The muscle car V8 sound is much meaner in my opinion.
The drone is considerable during certain times in accelleration. I can see where that would be quite annoying for some people.
The tips seem to be hotter than the stock setup. I dont know if it is my imagination or the fact that the stainless reflects more heat internally??
I am getting more black residue on my rear bumper although I am not sure if it is exhaust related. It would not seem to make sense that it would be the exhaust as the 02 sensor would (should) correct any rich condition from the change in back pressure??
