I still prefer the custom route at my local muffler shop. You can do the same setup at half the cost installed and be driving down the road with it in a couple of hours. Buy a good set of axle backs and take them with you.
Your resonators length is key to the tone you are looking for.

I agree with you going custom - I've done that on my last few cars and have had great success. I still can't believe people are paying $400+ for 'short tails' when it would literally cost $50 and a pair of tips to create one at a shop.

So why does Borla get no love? The price could for sure be lower, I agree. I've read posts that it just has no sound, I think it has a deep somewhat American muscle type growl. I also realize the gains aren't cost efficient but I'm willing to bet most people arguing about gains don't even track but just like to drive fast on the interstate, as do I, but could someone who actually knows exhausts inside and out explain to me why Borla gets no love. In the end its personal preference I get it but I'd just like an explanation from a logical non biased stand point. Although I'm willing to bet I've answered my own question when I mentioned price and gains. Thanks.

Yea i agree custom exhaust would be way cheaper, but you never know what your exhaust will sound like until you hear it...
But yea i remember when exhaust systems back in the 90s or early 2000s were only a couple hundred dollars now its amazing the some exhaust systems are going for a few grand
