Need help picking cat back exhaust

Guys, I am wondering if anyone can give me some opinions on which cat back exhaust may be right for me. I would like to keep the boxer engine sound, and keep something with dual tips. Also, with 2013 coming up will there be new and improved cat backs this upcoming year? Maybe I should wait ?


thanks

tbroc.

I have the Borla exhaust and i love it. I have recieved many compliments on the sound, and it is not invasive at all in the cabin.

I feel the same way about my Borla. You can tell they used their vast resources to do some fine tuning to this exhaust. My FR-S now sounds like a proper sports car. No Drone FTW!

I'm leaning towards the Borla. But, I'm going to wait a couple months and explore my options.

So far the info I've gotten is it will have a 4" tip on each side and pricing will be more like $695.
