Default BORLA Challenge exhaust

Hey guys,
Ive been looking at cat-back exhausts for some time now, and am finally ready to buy for my CE LT4. I have narrowed it down to two: the Borla Challenge (with Xr-1 resonator) and the Power Effects. Didnt like how quiet the Corsa was, and the flowmasters were a little more primal than I was looking for.
I know alot of you like the Power Effects exhaust, but do any of you have any experience with the Borla "Challenge" in particluar. My CE is a daily driver and I could put up with SOME resonance, as long as its not TOO terrible. They both are priced the same, around $1300.
I love the looks of the Borla, and I have heard that they are of good quality. Any comments would be appreciated!

Thanks

ROSS

I have the Borla 2 3/4" Challenge system on my car. The fit and finish are both very good. This system does have some resonance but it isn't really as bad as people make it out to be. I also had Borla on my '85 and did have a weld break on one of my mufflers and Borla did replace it without any problems. ( about 2 weeks down time ). If I had the chance, I would by Borlas again. :seeya
