Seems like the majority said Borla

Just to give you an idea, got mine (not Borla) installed for $70, very close to the l-sportlines. The stocks are so puny

Make sure you like the round shape or the oval shape, but please don't pick the octagon/rectangle shape

Try going to your local muffler shop to see what their selection is. Mine had Ractive tips (some are pretty nice) and a couple other brands. Save shipping plus you may be able to negotiate on install + product.

Borla also sells their tips directly
http://www.borla.com/products/polished_tips.aspx

Pasted in the links below from an earlier post of mine.

This one had a couple (no, not the ones with the light built in)

Oh, and make sure to set aside the $200 for the optional flame thrower kit

Local Pep Boys. 14.99 and a can of Brasso. Almost a year and no scratches or fade, and the Borla look without the cost.
