Which one would you pick?
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!!!

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.

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

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

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

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.
