Consider them all... And do 2 at a time..... Exhaust varys same with the intake and everything else you might want to do... It is all personal preference.. Like how loud you want your exhaust to sound, how much money you would like to spend on a Intake... How low you want to drop your car...ECT........

so is borla most popular one?

how much hp do you gain by using it?
how much did it cost?
how hard was it to install? I would assume someone else did it for you.. then how much did it cost you?

Proboly, L-Tuned would be the most popular... You can get the Borla's for around $400.
The HP I'm not sure of.. But I heard 7hp....
Install was a little tricky, because I did it myself.. You have to change the stock hangers with the ones Borla gives you...

If you end up getting the Borla's I'll walk you through the install so you can save $$$$....

Borla is easily the most popular after market. L-Tuned is probably next. One reason Borla is more popular is that it's 40% less expensive than L-Tuned. You pay extra for the Lexus parts.

Check my picture gallery for pics of the L-Tuned Exhaust.. Only problem with the Borla is the install but otherwise the price will ease that little pain I think.. In the end I went with the L-Tuned because I scored a killer deal and install was VERY easy!
