Default Ordered Blitz Exhaust and Got Performance Anxiety

After getting beaten up in an ebay bidding war at 11:30 last night for a used Blitz Nur-Spec (if you're out there - you know who you are - reveal yourself !) that I was sure I was going to get.....
I found a new Blitz today at Titan Motorsports and impulsively ordered it cause I just can't wait any longer. $570 shipped, seems like a good price.
But now I'm having performance anxiety, wondering if I should have gotten the Borla.........

Two different manufacturers/styles. Check out the sticky post on exhausts at the top of this forum if you want more info.

I was same way wondering if i made the right choice... I should know in a few weeks but I think I;ll be happy. I almost was considering Borla but after i saw T.L.W. exhaust and GSing430 the exhaust looked really classy and sharp looking from the side and the back... I wanted something that showed alot of chrome but not rice looking... I can't wait to hear this on my car...]

ebay Blitz went for $405 +shipping $40. Used 9000 miles. I bid up to $400 in the last seconds, but that was as far as I was going since for not that much more I could get a brand spanking new one.

Saw your DIY post - nice.

Bummer - just found out that the Blitz is not in stock at Titan, and Blitz US doesn't have them in stock either, so they're telling me 4-5 weeks (slow boat from Japan?).
I've only heard good things about this exhaust.

here's my update on the blitz.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...827#post957827


performance wise, it won't make a differance, you won't be able to tell, what i feel personally since the performance is not a factor would be the looks, sound and quality of the exhaust in that order.
