I'd imagine that the Borla would be heavier since there are more parts to it, but I really don't know for sure.

I know the OEM system weighs a ton (actually about 70lbs

), so I'd imagine a good aftermarket system would offer a weight savings in addition to power gain.

I got the RS-R sounds great. If you leave the silencers in it is not loud at all. Atleast till you hit WOT =) Without silencers..... make sure ther are no cops

The Borla weighs about 15lbs "less" than the OEM exhaust.

It only "drones" at RPMs under ~2500. Between 2500- 4500 it is relativley quiet, and just alittel deeper than OEM.

I also added Crawford Cars after the TD and the sound is very similar to TD alone , no "rasp" as found with Test pipes.

I was suprised to find that the Crawford "Plenum" added signifcantly more exhaust note than the HF CATs.

But all in all , I'm pretty happy with the Plnum. CAT and TD combo.
The sound only attracts attention when you "on" it.
