Over the past few months isnce my car wasn't running right I've been putting off performance mods. Well now taht its finally running again i took it out the other night and noticed my boost drops off really bad to 6psi near redline. I have a downpipe and intake but no catback. I think to myself how i'm really missing taht last 4psi and how that may be a lot more lost hp than I had once thought. Over the next few days I toss ideas through my head and come to the realization that i'm gonna have to get exhaust as my next mod. Borla catback sounds nice, its cheap too, good quality...



..This morning i wake up, get on my computer. Ok, Borla will work out great i think to myself and I can get it shipped all for just under 400 bux (i priced it out a long time ago). Go to the nopistons store....HOLY ****!!! It's jumped in price to 424 without shipping now lol.



Maybe I won't be getting exhaust as my next mod...



Owell, 100shot and to4e turbo upgrade are sounding nice so I may end up doing those instead.

and you don't have a turbo, bite me.



The reason is because it was the cheapest catback for that quality. It's kinda bumped up in my mind now in terms of pricerange so now i gotta go catback shopping again. i'm not bitching about price it just surprised me more than anything else.

The price of exhaust is too much but you want to buy a turbo and nitrous? Don't get me wrong, but isn't that a LOT more expensive than the exhaust system?

Spend the money for the Racing Beat catback, you'll be money ahead after you realize the Borla is a piece of ****, you'll have to go catback shopping again.
