Default Borla
Just got a recommendation from a shop in town for my 2001 TA.
High flow cats, borla muffler, 2.5" pipes $750.00. Anythoughts on price and quality. I am not familiar with borla mufflers... Thanks guys

Also, is he simply swapping out your stock cats for hi-flow cats? Not really worth the money IMO. Keep your stock cats, they're not that bad.

^ Unless he's fabbing up an entire Y-pipe for you w/ hiflow cats. If so, then you have a pretty good price for an entire package.

I personally hate the way Borla catbacks sound, but it's all subjective.

It's just to "BLAT BLAT" for me (retarded description, I know, but that's what comes to mind).
