I have had this car for over a year before I decided that i needed to get and exhaust to put on. I looked around for quite a while before I decided that I was going to get a Borla 3 inch cat back exhaust. I finally saved enough money and I ordered it from JEGS. It was the cheapest place to get it from. It still ran about $590 but it was cheaper than any other place I looked.

This is what the rear section of the exhaust looks like put together. I got bored one day waiting to put it on so I decieded to put it together to see what it looked like.

Here are the dual tips on each end that I think are some of the better looking tips that I have seen on other cars.

I do like on the muffler itself that it has the raised lettering that says Borla on it but I think it would have been better if the Borla would have be on the bottom and not the top so you could see it when you look under the car.

It took my brother and I about 4 hours to put it on. Had some minor problems with trying to get it on. One was that it didn't have an elbow to link the straight pipes to the cat so I had to run to town and get and elbow, a few extensions and a clamp. These parts are just temporary parts until i get a new Cat, Headers and Y-pipe. The elbow and extensions had to be welded together and also to the Cat since they were smaller in size than the Cat. We got that on and welded into place and finished up the rest of the instalation. It has a nice rumble to it and I think it looks awesome on my car as well. Here is what it looks like from behind.

I think it was $600 well worth it. Especially with a million mile warranty on the exhaust.
