Default G2 and Borla are different breeds when it comes to mufflers...
Are you looking for something just a little growl or a lot?

G2 = Border line ricer, but deep enough tone where it sounds "Audi"
Borla = Just a smidge over stock volume with growling when you floor it.

i believe diameter (2.5" for Neuspeed, 2.25" Borla) and the tips are different.

Really? I always thought of Borla as the borderline ricer...not the G2.

Default Also what are you looking for in the exhaust? Downpipe - - > To Muffler? or just Cat-Back w/o DP?
That too makes a difference.

Default Maybe it depends on the setup. But I've always thought the G2 sounded a little ricy.
Then again, who knows what they did underneath of it to make it sound the way it did. A couple guys who have them do some pretty weird things to their cars so I could be wrong.

DP. The whole deal. Was thinking about the G2 to avoid Borla's rice potential.

dunno bout that... IMO G2 pushes the rice envelope farther than Borla

Default Borla is not "rice"...
Sure some of them have had sandblaster issues...but those that are good sound really nice...of which my one is...at WOT is sounds pretty bad, but one normally only fully opens the car up at the track anyway...
My one was the Neuspeed/Borla version, which has a 2.5" downpipe and the usual 2.25" Borla muffler etc...

The new Neuspeed G2 is a different exhaust completely, and is much closer to "rice"
