Many here use Borla, I think it's fine but would not pay that much. There are a lot of cat backs that really cost huge! If I were to spend that much I would have a local place make a true dual mandrel bent system with an X or H pipe. Mufflers can be had for $50-100 a piece instead of $700. Since you are not to far from here, try:

http://www.ncrperformance.com/

They are south of you and make exhaust systems. Or use the Borla, it's fine, it's just a lot of money. FYI a cat back will give a small increase in power as well as a nice sound. If you do use the Borla, consider a high flow cat in the center and this front Y pipe with front cat delete:

Or cut them and have new pipe welded in. Also headers would help. If you want to, port your exhaust manifolds, it's not to hard and that helps to.
