Borla mufflers are great but that price is . Especially when it's only an axel back and not a full cat back.

i have a borla exhaust on my car. It sounds really nice. Not too loud but deep enough. It sounds really clean when you pound on it but it won't be like a supra. I still have my cat on though so i dunno how it would sound if you remove the cat and resonator. I really like it. i'm pretty sure you would too. Hope this helps

Depends on where you live, or who you bribe.

I had borla with no resonators... sounded alright- not loud at all, you know how borlas are-

I had Magnaflows with no rez's and no center cat- it sounded bad- really poppy/ crackly... You will need to experiement with set ups regarding cats rez's etc. to find the optimum sound-
