Loads of people have Borlas on their GS4s. Borla is the quietest aftermarket exhaust, but still nowhere near as quiet as factory. Next in loudness is L-Tuned. GReddy is right up there with the loudest. Don't know about the Apex.

Power gain from any of them is going to be minimal (maybe 4-10HP).

Default How is the fit and finish of Borla?

How is the fit and finish of the borla system? can you put it in yourself or do you have to weld?

It's a bit of a pain, but you can do it yourself and no welding required.

I have L-Tuned though. I still had the dealer do it because they only charged $70 to install I think.

I had the Greddy Power Extreme exhaust installed on my 02 GS3 yesterday. The sound is very loud. After 2000rpm, the GS3 took off. But I think I'm going to return it. Even if I have to pay for restocking fee. I need something a lot quieter.

How much do you want for your Greddy power extreme system? Will it fit on a GS4? Thanks, Mike D.

I have the Borlas and love them minus the rubber mounts. I am working on a fix for that and will keep people posted. Two reasons I went with Borla:
1) They look the best imo filling out the ports in an oval/rectangular fashion plus the mufflers are smaller and out of sight.
2) These guys produced exhaust exclusively for Bentley years ago so the quality speaks for itself.

For those interested in Borlas I have the Borla carbon fiber exhaust set up for sale for 300 bucks. It is in brand new condition.
