I really need to decide between Borla and JBA's. This is killing me and I want to get them ordered tomorrow.

lol, well as from what i hear (haha, i made a pun ) the jba's make a lot less noise than the borlas, so it depends on what you are looking for. plus, sound clips dont help because volume cant me taken into account

Yeah, i am just going to go with the Borla's. I've had them before and liked them, it just seems like the best choice and it's under 200. Now I can get that SCT alot sooner

I really enjoy my Ford Racing(Borla) single axle back AND if I ever got duals I would definitely go with two...just love ALL six going through one pipe!

ah, thanks. one time i saw a picture of them as duals at it looked like they were sticking out like 3-4 inches!

however, isnt that touching the paint of your bumper? or is that just the picture?

mine sticks out past the rear bumper cover about 1.5", the 4" tip is really big, but the sound is good.

I've heard Borlas on a GT and they were mean!

As for V6s.. I forget what Phil (pat) and Tom (afixer) were running on theirs.. but those sounded good too.
Dual Flowmaster 40 series. I think I'm gonna get my pipes re-done and go true dual, which I think will sound even better.

Nope not touching at all.
I really think that I could have mounted it a little lower though. (Too lazy to do now lol)
But as long as the bumper isnt melting, I'm fine with it

This is another case of ... no wrong choice! Both are great mufflers with distinctive sounds that are worlds above stock.
