i have the HKS hi-spec bought it for 1100..ill sell it for about 700 since i would like to get the borla. or just trade a borla for it if you can find it cheaper

The borla sounds like crap IMO.
Guy had it in his, and in person, many of us didn't like it.

If interested, I can sell the OP my Perrin 2.5"

Is your 2.5" the black or steel? I've been looking around... if OP doesn't want it I might be interested.

did he have just the exhaust?

im running the avo turbo in mine with header and front pipe. ive heard some good sound clips from videos with that setup. i was told by paul that it will probably breath better too.

Oh woops, yea he was stock other than the borla.

Might be worth looking into...

For those of us who are turbocharged, there are only a couple 3" offerings.

Personally, I am placing an order for this exhaust:

really? the videos of the borla catback sound so good.

I really like the sound of the perrin 3" cat back exhaust. I got one in mine. It's resonated but it sounds good.

Pretty deep rumbling sound. Not quite STI rumble, but still nice tone. I feel a little torque improvement in the 4k rpm range. It did not used to be there and I would have to ring the rev up to 5k for the torque to start kicking in before the cat back.
