Borla Exhaust
What does the general population feel is a good FAIR price for a used cat-back stainless Borla System ?
I took the system off of my car and replaced it with stock mufflers.
Now before I get my chops busted,
I'm getting to be an old fart and the drone of the exhaust from inside was too much and I do shift work and when i work days i'm leaving my house @ 3:30am so i'm sure the neighbors were not happy hearing me pull out of my driveway ! 
Anyway I want to sell the Borla stuff but not sure what to ask.

Dual tips are 900 bucks new and quad tips are 1100 bucks new, from Mid Am
Depending on the age and if it''s the whole system or just the mufflers. I recently picked up a set of 800 dollar magnaflows for 200 bucks shipped. But that was just the mufflers dual tip.
I need more info to tell you what I would pay.
I have set of the Mid Am quadrapowers the po put on, so I understand completely. These things sound awesome at times, when I want to show off, but other times I wish they would just shut up some.

If they are in really good shape, I'd say around $300 would be fair. I guess it would all come down to how old the system is and how many miles are on it.

I have no idea just how old they are but they look to be in good shape.
A little dirty maybe but other wise not bad. They are Quad Tips and i do believe its referred to as a "cat back" ?
From the "H" pipes back, over the transaxle to da mufflers .
I replaced them with a pair NOS muffler/pipe combo.
Found a guy selling them on Ebay , lives in PA near the NJ boarder.
I met up with him on the PA side of the river and got'em for a $100.00
They were removed from a brand new 04 right at the dealer so a set of aftermarket mufflers can be put on. These mufflers still bore the lacquer finish and the ink jet printed date of 08/03 on the pipes.
What surprised me was they were removed without cutting the pipes !
So I couldn't pass them up.
Here's da Borlas

So it's the whole system.
1100 dollar system, no idea how old, but the most is 7 years, but they don't appear to have that many miles on them from the pics. I would also say around 300-350. 400 shipped.
Borla's sound awesome but i hear they have some wicked drone
