Which system do you guys recommend? I have posted questions on Txstyles thread regarding his Borla system but there are no sound clips!

So I need to choose what exhaust to get on the arriving Roadster!!

Please post your opinions and choices. Oh and if any of you lucky one have sound clips pleaZZZ let me know where I can hear them!

 

Normally I'm a JDM guy, but the domestic exhausts are cheaper and putting out more horsepower than their Japanese counterparts. Personally, I'm going to stick with the American parts for now.

 

I'm all for JDM.

Here is a URL for sound clips for some of the exhausts. (This link has been posted by another member previously... forget who)

If you want Ti, then I only know of Japanese companies.

Personally, the Ti doesn't seem worth the money (although the weight savings is nice).

Stillen is simply too heavy, and their reps response to posters on this forum left me with a bad taste regarding the company's honesty. I also don't like the unfinished looks of the thin walled tips. Therefore I won't buy from them.

The Injen supposedly sounds great and makes great gains, but I strongly dislike the angled tips as well as the look of the tips in general. To me, the angle really spoils the look of the car. It is quite light though (for SST).

So, I'm personally in favor of the Borla. It also makes very nice gains (if the dyno's can be trusted) and according to those who've heard it the sound is fantastic. Finally, I like the looks of the Borla much better than the Injen. I like the straight tips, and I like that they look similar to the stock tips with the meaty rolled lips and the sharp inner lip. The Borla is heavier than the Injen, but is still lighter than the stock.

Borla for me!

-D'oh!

 

Injen all the way. I'm looking for max power and I like the polished piping and the tips are fine. Don't care for the stock look of the Stillen or Borla, GLH. The Borla has a very raw look. The metal is unfinished and looks cheap (IMO).

The JDM exhausts are very nice (Amuse, HKS, Top Secret, Fujitsubu, sp?) but I'll never spend that kind of money on Ti exhausts, or their SS version. They are not worth it to me.

I'm gonna try and stick to the domestic market because it's less expensive.

But , compare them you're self and make the decision. You need to see what is more important to you.

 

I personally prefer the looks/sound/performance of the Stillen system. One flaw is the weight addition but the extra 20 lbs wont be noticed in a 3200 lb car.

I personally think the Injen system ruins a good thing by putting angled tips in the back. It doesn't look right IMO. The Borla system has too many clips and looks like it may rattle. The dual tips look a little funny with the PE system so... They all have their flaws. IMO, the ideal system would be a TI version of Stillen.

 

D'Oh! Thanks for the in depth response. I appreciate all you guys with response that have true value. I am leaning toward the Borla so far but I need more investigation!
