Neither. The Borla sucks, and the Neuspeed is a copy of the Borla.

Default the borla doesn't suck, sheesh

For $466. the Boral CANNOT be beat. The sandblaster sound is NOT a unverisal issue. It's a quality control issue, and can be fixed.

Default only options for a system with downpipe are Brullen and Borla

Borla: $466
Brullen: $799

Brullen is the better system.

You can fit ANY other 5sp quattro system onto your car MINUS the downpipe. So that means you can fit an APR or Milltek w/o the DP. Stratmosphere sells the Milltek w/o the DP. APR doesn't AFAIK.

Default no, any exhaust gets noiser under a bridge, thats from echoing

The sandblaster sound is that the exhaust sounds like a sandblaster all the time. Its a quality control issue when the tips are welded to the muffler. You can get the tips replaced with nicers one, have a new muffler set to you, etc. There are options if you get one that sounds like that.

Many people have Borla's with no sound complaints like this what so ever.
