For what you get for the price, not too shabby. The quality on the Borla's is hit or miss, but you're covered there by Borla's lifetime warranty. And all of that for $2k is a nice deal. I did my entire engineback exhaust for about that much, but when with nameless fp/op combo, q300, and slightly used JDL UEL. Was able to do that mainly b/c I used store credit with nameless and got the JDL secondhand locally in Phoenix. So, you couldn't do my setup for $2k with all new parts.

So, for what you get for what you pay, not a bad option. Don't forget to get tuned, else you'll just be paying $2k for only a pretty exhaust note and maybe 10 rwhp.

Thanks for the response guys ! I ordered my OFT yesterday so I'll be loading up a new tune hopefully Saturday ! Then mostly likely letting my girl breathe a bit better with some new exhaust.

Save you're money for a turbo or supercharger. That's what I would do personally if you're looking for power.

Imo start with a header. This plus oft will provide the most gains for the least money
