Borla is expensive and when they put the steeda name on it, that just make the price higher.
but it is a good system

I have them. They are ok but they are not loud enough for me. I like the deep sound but Im just not satisfied.

I think flowmaster just came out w/ a louder muffler than the 40's
its the flowmaster 44's I heard them and man they are way better than the 40's
so if your going flowmaster get the 44's

i only saw them in individual mufflers. So buy the mufflers and take it to a shop for fabrication.

seriously you should save your money and just go to a muffler shop and have them put on a flowmaster or a magnaflow. Most shops will stock those two brands, and it should only cost you around 150 bucks. now go spend the other 450 on something more useful than exhaust.

Default Here's my $ 0.02

I have a V6 that I turned into a "true dual" running machine! Long, long story short, I started with "custom" work that was horrendous, and ended up meeting some great folks and now have a super fabricator/mechanic that can weld like a computer does!

I now have stock headers into an Pypes hi-flow catted X-pipe into dual Flowmaster 50 series mufflers welded into a MAC catback kit. And...a LOT of custom fabricating to make it all work well together!

Pros:
Pypes is awesome to work with and fully warrants their products!
I like the hp increase my car has experienced with the X-pipe!
The Flowmasters! The company and the mufflers are fabulous!

Cons:
I cut out the MAC mufflers and welded in Flowmaster 50 series because I disliked the MACs. They were terribly, obnoxiously loud and the tone was awful!
MAC did not warrant their catted H-pipe, so I sent it back and requested a refund!
Droning occurs around 45mph...a result of the pipe size and the 3.8L V6 engine. I run 2.5" piping from the headers out to 3" stainless tips. I wish I had stuck with 2.25" out to 2.5" or 3"!

Borla is tremendously expensive, and I agree that the guy with the "borla" link on youtube did not have Borla. Borla's got a different setup on their tailpipes than what's in the video. Steeda is hot, too! I love Steeda, but not on my V6. I love Flowmasters! Had 40's, but they were too boisterous, so I got 50's the next time around. Had a heart-to-heart with a rep from Flowmaster when I encountered some lies told to me by a local fabrication/exhaust shop (they put VX mufflers on as Flowmasters - Flowmaster does not have anything to do with the VX brand and got really upset at the shop when they found out about it!). Anyway, I would stick with the stock Y-pipe and do the Flowmaster kit (has 40's on it). Runs a little over $600, but you may get a good deal buying thru your local performance shop. Unless some custom shop has superb customer relations, don't mess too much with custom work...you (like I was) will be sorry and end up spending a fortune to fix it later.

I wish I had stuck with the stock Y-pipe and gone dual from there back using Flowmaster's V6 dual exhaust catback kit. I have had 4 exhaust systems and 5 sets of mufflers on my car over the past year! I have forked out a TON of money and time to have the system redone from the original (terrible) fabricator work. But, I'm extremely happy with the final product now. If I may ever help anyone else out, please contact me.
