Default Adj. vs. Non adj borla catback

Ok, I'm thinking about getting a borla catback. I don't really like the intercooled tips on the adj catback. What does the non intercooled look like, and does it sound the same as the adj.?

It looks the same. Basically it's just the rear section of the adjustable catback without the removable plate/tip. Looks like the factory muffler, single in, dual out with the intercooled tips. It actually sounds decent, or about the same as the adjustable with the closed off plate making all the exhaust go through the muffler.

I hate my adjustable one (was on the car when I bought it). It whistle's badly at WOT and the tip hangers below are designed rather poorly and make the tips sag and become uneven.

Does anyone know if you can buy those tip hangers from borla or something, since I don't feel like buying a different exhaust at the moment.
