2.8 Exhausts Suggestions please

I am really confused as what are nice full cat-back systems for the 2.8 quattro.
I know others have pointed out that Borla is the clear winner? for the 1.8T but i haven't read anything about 2.8 exhausts.
Any ideas guys? Where to get them?

Man...all you need is the Muffler Portion...a full cat back isn't

really needed for a 2.8...the center resenator is very free flowing and is 2.5 inches already..which would be a reason to get.

Last time I peeked, doesn't the 2.8 have two pipes until it joins close to the muffler?

I disagree. The weight savings from a full cat back exhaust is definitely worth it as well

and you will get better flow from a cat back. Not to mention if all you replace is the muffler you have to cut the stock pipe and weld the new muffler on. More effort in my opinion that just doing it right in the first place
