FutureGS400,

Hey conrates on your new GS & welcome. I have the Borla and like Mo said the hangers kinda suck. My left pipe always siides to much on the hanger and wants to rub on my bumper. The sound is great,nice mellow rumble not too load even seating inside. It is noticeable cruising @ 60-70 ,but not unpleasantly. Thats my opinion. I've heard the Borla & L-tuned togather and the L-tuned sounded just alittle bit louder. nothing close to the Greddy pipe though.

Here are 2 sites where you can compare different tire sizes for your 18 and 19 rims.Compare them to the stock diameter incase you want to try and stay close to the stock tire diameter.

As of this morning (picked it up yesterday!) it has 951 miles.
I know, hard to believe but true! I actually saw this car being bid on Ebay, and since it was nearby I emailed the guy and started asking questions since I was naturally skeptical. The owner had bought it off a friend of his who is a multi-millionaire with LOTS of cars and needed more room for another new (exotic) car of some kind. In 2002-according to Carfax.com and DMV records, this car had 657 miles on it! The guy I bought it from had also never really driven it since he had a company car and a new SUV for the family. He finally decided he needed the $$$ more than an extra car just sitting in the garage, so I made him a good offer and now it's mine Everything checked out OK-believe me I did some serious research!
This car still has the new car smell and has never even been driven in the rain before! For all intents it is a new car that happens to have been made in 2000! I was hoping for a super clean, low mileage car but I never expected this...
