took my car in today. no leaks whatsoever. i had a slight rattle but a little adjusting and no more rattle. had the resonators taken off and replaced with straight pipes. its a bit louder now which i wanted since it was so quiet to begin with it. absolutely love it even more now. im a happy camper.

My first reaction after the installation was that the Borla has a rumble at idle and low speeds, but is not loud on acceleration. I liken the sound at idle to listening to a 911.
Other than the leak, I'm very happy with the system.

You should just get the FI exhaust. If you have a problem with it, wich you wont, you call and talk to the man that built it not some automated phone crap or sales rep. Plus you get no rasp or drone and a super kick a$$ sound with the best looking welds and thick flanges to bolt it together.

sure can.
the exhaust is not a true dual. its the single exhaust.
he sent me the drawing of how the exhaust was put together customly.
he has a 3" detonator and the borla XL turbo muffler. (3").
so since its single, is it worth getting?

hey, i know the TD borla gives more power and more air flow.
but if i bought the single exhaust and did the mods that the guy did. would the power even out?
it has a 3" detonator and a 3" XL turbo muffler that connects both of the pipes. let me know! cuz i wanna order and do this **** this weekend.
