Have you seen the Bassani True Duals?? They are damn nice, come in either Aluminized or Stainless Steel.

It comes off the headers, goes to an X pipe, and then follows the stock path over the axle and exits out back.

If I have the money I'd have one right now

I paid $570 for my Borla a couple years ago before they came out with the single tip catback and raised the price.

I would go with Borla. Quality is great and the rumble is just right. One thing that I love about Borla is the warranty. 1 million miles is basically lifetime.

If you want a meaner sound, corsa is the way to go. If you want a really unique, clean smooth nice sounding exhaust, then Borla is deff. your answer! I have borla on my car and I love it! I want LTs so much, but Im affraid to mess up its sound I love it so much


And if the tips are a big deal w/ you, as much as I love the uniqueness of the borla octagon (quads) tips, Corsa's look extremely nice! But then again, for $110, you can get the Corsa knock-off tips from FIREHAWK#608 on here.

If you want to hear how the Borla sounds this is a great video of it at WOT. The solo launch at the end is the best chance to hear it!

http://www.injectedvids.com/Videos/WS6andGTO.wmv

Its stock manifolds, SLP y-pipe and then the Borla w/ completely open plates. I think that exhaust sounds extremely nice on that car!

I have a borla catback and just put some long tubes on not too long ago, Im really not sure how I feel about it. Ive tried it with a couple different plates but am not sure. Im thinking about getting a gmmg and selling the borla.

hasn't been a prototype in over a year. i had the first one. after all the testing i did, they put it to market. they are made to fit factory manifolds and cats. but, it can be made to fit headers. click the pink banner and you'll see how i got it to fit the bassani headers and cats. www.vincihighperformance.com has installed the bassani to MAC headers and JBA headers as well.
