Borla vs. other exhaust
Alright, I have long awaited getting some Borla catbacks on my GT. However, Borla quit making them for 96 Mustangs. I tried ordering from several websites that still had it in their listings for a cheaper price (around $590), but after ordering they'd call and tell me they ran out. So that leaves me with the Borla website that lists it for $756. Do I go for the high price and the sound I want or go for a cheaper exhaust system that's not exactly what I want, but will do? I talked to a guy at a local shop and he really pushed the flows, but I'm not sure yet. What would you all do?
I just found some Borlas on ebay for $675.. hmm..

Tiffy this is what I did- Bought a Flowmaster catback, then ordered the Borla 12inch oval case XR-1 sportsman mufflers and had them welded in the flowmaster cat back. That way it resembles stock tips and roars . The whole thing cost me like 500 and 300 of that were the borla mufflers.

Tiffy, I would recommend that you look into a different catback and either do what breakinloose did or just get another catback. I would suggest looking into a slp, magnaflow, or ss catback. They sound pretty decent and do not have too much drone. Flowmasters sound nice but you'll be tired of em after a few miles on the freeway.
