I attended my first HPDE event this past weekend and my friends got some video clips that I thought I'd share since there aren't too many out there with the Borla exhaust/Header combo. It certainly isn't as loud and ferocious sounding as the JoeZ, but I had several compliments throughout the weekend.

Did the Borla Cat back install today...sounds great and a little louder than what I was expecting....it should tone down a little after the break in period.

That's the system I was thinking of going with becouse I live very close to my neighbors. Was it easy to install? Can you post a video please.

I took it to the local muff shop and it took them about 45 min or so to install...charged a $100...I asked the guy if it was difficult to install and he said what took the most time was the stuff around the muffler, but from the sounds of it, not too much work.

I'll shoot some iphone video this weekend. The wife has the car out tonight. She doesnt know I put in a new exhaust but I'm waiting for her to make a comment when she gets home..hehe...
