catback is your choice for sound imo, I was just talking headers.. sounds like a great setup! Borla's V2 headers aren't that bad but I'd go OFH to support the homies

The only reason i put this set up is because i wanted to see what people thought about the Borla headers, i heard a lot negativity from them but i didnt know at the time it was from the gen1 and not the gen2 and i really like this set up from this video

Rev Works is another option for a good header.

If you want to hear what the SRT headerback sounds like:

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agqUBBgc0fY"]Highway Accelerations in my Subaru BRZ with SRT Exhaust! - YouTube[/ame]

I was running the SRT Catback system and really liked the sound, fitment was good but not perfect, quality is excellent (really nice TIG welding), but the company is not one I'd want to deal with again. If I wasn't going with a custom center exit design I'd still be running the SRT catback system and not getting ready to sell it. If you can get one used for a good price I would go that route, otherwise don't buy new from the company.

With Borla, it's not so much that Gen2 didn't 'fix' the problems. I'm sure the flex joints help. The main concern is that Borla quality control has been abysmal.

Hands down, OFH and OFT. A header is worthless with out a tune. And a a cat back just makes more noise. The header fits with no problems and the tuner is easy to work with.
