Borla would be the best IMO.You could run it with no plate in it and be straight threw on the passenger side tail pipe and still be quiet in the cab

I 2nd keeping the borla, but i would say get an electric cutout for it.. Summit Racing has it for a decent price. I absolutely hated the borla until i got the cutout, to the point where i was going to rip it off the car.

It saves the effort of changing plates, and you can have it open or closed as much as you would like.

With it closed, with all exhaust going thru the muffler makes a huge difference in sound, and you don't get that annoying drone, for normal driving. But at the flick of a switch, you can open it up and run it wide open.

Course I will be running a procharger, not a turbo set up, but thats my opinion FWIW.

Thanks...

Do you have the adjustable Borla set up? Its pretty hard to beat the adjustable Borla. It gives you the best of both worlds.
