Default What is the difference between AWE borla and Neuspeed's exhaust?

I know the Neuspeed uses Borla parts but I don't know which ones. It must be different in some way. I heard something about the pipe diameters being different but I am not sure at what points it is different. If any of you guys can help me out I would appreciate it. If any one has pictures of the two that would help too.

Default Where though? All the way from the cat or only at certain stretches?

I heard that AWE borlas were 2.25 and that Neuspeeds were at 2.5. So that is .25. I am not saying you are wrong I just want to make sure what I heard was wrong. How sure are you?

Default Next question...Will that .25 for that stretch of pipe make a difference?

If so, how much? I am not planning on upgrading my turbo. I have a chip. Is the cost worth it? Is one system better than the other?

Default That .25" makes a huge difference as far as volumetric quantities go...

...if you are not upgrading the turbo, the 2.25" borla system is adequate for just the chip or even a KO4.

BTW - I meant .25" difference between the Neuspeed vs. Borla.
