Default Just Installed Borla exhaust........

The bolts on the downpipe flange that attaches to the cat is such a pain in the butt. I had to soak them down with WD-40 and then use a universal attached to an extension and loosen it with a long wrench. The Borla required some adjustment to fit perfectly but overall it's great for only $370 from Carparts. If you get a downpipe back exhaust such as Supersprint, don't let a shop charge you more than 1 hr labor cuz the section behind the down pipe comes off in 5 min and can be reinstalled in the same time(if you have a lift).

Now I can hear the turbo a lot more. Under WOT it's a deep drone plus a wooooooosh sound from the turbo. When idling it sounds just like stock from the interior(I have the 2.25" version). 1st and 2nd gear goes by noticibly quicker now. There's definitely some noticible performance gain. I'll bring her to the track hopefully next weekend to see if there are any performance gains.<p>-dingster
