Question 4" to 3" Borla?
I am making the car a bit more streetable. Currently it is a high 10-second NA car. Running a 4" muflex system, LTs, and no cats. I would like to put a Borla catback system. How much will I give up if any by doing this?

not much. if youre truely worried about giving up power find a system you like the sound of and put an electric cutout on the end of each header for when you want power.

Yes, Spintech

Custom 3" with v-clamps to match a set of competition step headers I have.

Most likely will not match anything else.
