    Wink Borla

    ok well im planing to get a new exsuast sytem in the spring but I figured id get some ideas going be fore hand. i am considering the 2 options

    option 1:MSDS Headers & y-pipe,high flowing universal magnaflow cat 3",and universal 3" borla mufflers with 4" Borla tips.
    problem with this is, is the price and I hav no idea how it would sound? im looking for a deep loud sound. no rice

    option 2:MSDS Headers & Y-pipe,high flowing universal magnaflow cat 2 1/2",and the borla cat back?
    problem with this is I cant seem to find the Borla cat back any where at all since they discontued it!! and also im looking for a 3" setup becuase keep in mind in the futre im planing on a TURBO.

    so give me your oppinons

    thanks

    its hard to get the true loud deep sound because our motor has a tendency to produce alot of rasp. Honestly option 1 IMO seems the way to go..


    I have the option 2, with the WR headers/y-pipe and the 2.5" Magnaflow cat with the 2.25" Borla cat-back...There is ALOT of deepness inside when you are driving, all my friends and I love it, its a very clean sound

    Why bother doing Headers/Y-pipe now if your planning on doing a turbo.. Save up and do it all at once and dont waste your money.

    he means why spend the $600 on msds headers if you just plan to turbo the car in the future, you will not be able to use the headers/ y-pipe because you need custom ones for a turbo ... so why waste the money, just save for the tubro ...
