Neither.

 

a lot of parts but man, a decent installer can make it not rattle and it will NOT leak. try taking a borla system thats been put together, apart. its impossible! installation aside, i'd go with the borla. the gains are proven plus the sound is fantastic, i still miss mine although my evo tt is starting to grow on me. i hate the hks higher pitch sound. i like the deeper rumble.

 

borla...the HKS sounds ricey N/A

 

Crappy clamps........what the *** are you talking about,they are the same clamps that come with most high performance aftermarket exhaust.I have had the borla exhaust on since late 2003 and never a problem.........as usual it seems like your talking out of your *** craig.

 

Price, shipped to 89127???

 

HKS has superior build quality. Its fully polished stainless steel from front to back. The welds are very high quality and it only comes in about 3-4 different peaces, meaning much less of a chance for something to leak.

The Borla comes in like 10+ different peaces, and to do it right you should have it all welded together, which is an added hassel. Then if you ever want to take it off and sell it or whatever, you have a problem cause its all one peace.

The HKS gives a little bit better gains to, like 5hp, its marginal.

The HKS looks much better imo as well. The 4.5 inch blow torched titanium tips are one of my favorite parts of the exhaust. If i'm not mistaken the Borla ones look kinda stock, I know the stillen ones do for sure.

As far as sound the Borla is much deeper, vs the HKS which is higher pitched at certain points. I say at certain points, cause my HKS and the way its set up is very deep and throaty at certain points in the RPMs as well. I installed all my stuff at once, except the Plenium spacer, so who knows what they all sounded like by themselves.There is very little droan at highway speeds, it doesnt bother me at all, and if it did you can just turn your stereo up to 10 and you can't hear it at all. Now if you get on it....thats a different story...holy crap its aweosme...lol

If you want a much deeper sound then stock and louder, I'd say go with Stillen or the Borla, I'd actually reccomend Stillen over the Borla, cause it doesnt come in so many peaces. If you want more of a sound you hear on the race track or something, then go with the HKS. IMO its sounds awesome. and I originally thought I'd like the deeper sound.

 

the Borla alone sounds great. any vids with the HFC's on?

 

The clip posted on the ops 1st post is everything included. Intake, Headers, HFCs and the exhaust. I could get a more recent one, maybe reving to something over 4000rpms. Will keep in mind later today.
