Ok so i have finalllllyyyy decided to start mod. my 8 (which basically means i finally have the extra $$$ ) I am going with the AEM cold air intake but I need opinions on which exhaust.
I am back and forth between the Borla Stainless Steel Cat-Back System or the Greddy Spectrum Elite Catback Exhaust.

I was sold on the borla but then i heard the greddy with the aem intake and kinda dug on it. I want a deep, growl from it . I thought the greddy was too obnoxious while sitting in the car at first but now its not so bad. Of course my only judge is hearing multiple videos on youtube.

any advice/comments/opinions is appreciated!!!

 

I hear a lot of good things about the borla exhaust... plus their million mile warranty is just awesome!

 

Im partial to the Agency Power. Get it from RaceRoots and get the dual rez mid-pipe. I love mine and most of the Seattle guys can agree its a great sound.

 

BHR Midpipe and Borla catback.

 

borla has a deeper tone imo

 

+1 Borla

 

I would choose the borla exhaust, if i could only pick from those two. I am a racing beat fan though. I have there intake,duct and catback exhaust and love they way they sound. Also fitment is perfect

 

Had the borla IMO it was great deep tone clean look the only down part about it was the install the flange on the end it so hard to put on the cat but it's a great exhaust!
Traded it 2 weeks ago for the Mazdaspeed with another member (thanx al) havnt installed it yet though

 

so you all are fans of the borla.. thanks for helpin me out... from what i have read the borla isnt obnoxiously loud from the inside of the car while driving right? i dont wanna have to shout to the person next to me so they hear me lol

 

what made you decide to get rid of the borla? anything specific?

 

dont go by what videos on youtube sound like, because I did that but didnt realize how loud the turboxs catback with midpipe would be but damn, its fricking loud . . .I love it but man it might be to much and I might have to put my cat back on to tone it down a little bit

 

the spectrum elite sure is pretty though

 

... whichever shoots bigger flames

 

theyre both nice, I haven't seen a greddy SE in person but I hear that many people like them. borla is also very nice as well and has a nice rumble.

 

I LOVE my Borla. I use to have it with a stock cat, but now I have it paired with a RP Supercat, which sounds ridiculously good. Super deep and just straight sexy.

And last, I believe the Borla has 3 inch piping while the SE has 2.5.

In conclusion, Borla FTW

 

+1^ 3 inch ...(no homo)

 

catback does not shoot flames, missing cat shoots flames.

wait, i have a cat, a hi flow one and have heard that on the track my car shoots flames..

+1 for the borla.. it sucks not!

beers

 

Heard the spectrum elite in person and sounds really good...never heard the borla in person but from the other posts it sounds like its a good exhaust...the youtube videos didn't impress me though but could also be quality...I reccomend the exoticspeed r1-t...buddy has it and sounds really good

 

Borla all the way! I had it with the stock cat and sounds nice and deep but now its paired up with a DR midpipe from shookmotorsport.com and now it is even more deep. Just like sex. lol

 

I just switched from the Mazdaspeed V.2 Exhaust to a Greddy Spectrum Elite.

The tone is a bit more hollow sounding than my Mazdaspeed exhaust. It looks great too! The Borla has a bit more volume than either the MS or Greddy SE exhaust.

 

I have a friend with the Greddy Elite. Sounds great. Not too deep, not too loud, but its enough. Clean exhaust, not raspy.

 

^lol u have stuff repeated in ur SIGGY -
