Very good price...I bought mine from a local shop that I'm friendly with and they gave it to me for $109, which was with a slight discount (jobber price, I think)...

I picked up 2 new Borla XR1 small body bullets for under $80 for the pair yesterday off ebay.

Are these any good for performance?

I think bullets are a better sound than XR-1s, but XR-1s still sound good.

Go to www.ls1sounds.com and hear it for yourself.

The XR-1 will definately sound better than the bullet. It will have a deeper tone and much less rasp, if any at all. XR-1's are definately the way to go.
