that actually isnt a bad price installed. im gonna call around to a couple friends and see how they fare up to find out how good that is. have you checked the price of the steeda cat back?? its almost the same sound wise and quality wise. might be cheaper since they are a sponsor.

Not yet. Being a resident of Windsor it would be quite a drive to do exhaust in T.O. I believe this is the location for Steeda, am I wrong?

Just an FYI

We have tried all exhaust systems (except) JBA's on 05's.

You might want to check into a chambered exhaust. The sound is superior due to muffler placement on the 05.

Also we suggest look into the Axleback option. 30min to install yourself and you already have a mandrel/stainless OEM.

$save yourself $800 you will not gain anything froma Catback over an axleback. Use the $800 for an X etc..

Sounds like a good money saving plan. So in essence I should just replace the mufflers? What should I replace the factory mufflers with? Thanks

Axle back instead of Catback......choose your brand!

Thanks. Did some research yesterday and it looks like I only have to spend roughly 600. Thanks

Please let me know your opinion when you get them installed. I'm also looking to go Borla. I loved the sound clip on the Website, but, I'd like some first hand opinions. Thanks!
