If you are going with varex, I suggest you order the dual wiring harness. It allows for both mufflers to be controlled by a single remote (instead of one remote for each). I installed my new harness, works great.

$761 is just for the rear section (axle back) of the borla... the full borla catback exhaust is around $1200

I did not measure - but I pretty sure they are the same. I think it is the perspective of the photos.

There is a lot of lip on the flange on the xforce. Or could the flange just be bigger therefore making the pipe look smaller? Can anyone confirm 2.5"?

I think the person who originally had the Joe Z and switched to the X-force said they are pretty much the same, the only difference was the flange transitions (cleaner on JoeZ), welds (better on Joe Z) and mendrel bends (smoother on Joe Z). I think he would have mentioned the difference in pipe size too..

In the photo the JoeZ definitely looks bigger tho..

Confirming 2.5". I am assuming this is 2.5" throughout the system.

Just to clarify the varex kit comes with the exhaust controllers, but not the dual wiring harness correct?

Mine came without the dual wiring harness, I purchased it separately.

Out of the box I got 2 control boxes, 4 remotes (2 for each control box) and 2 wiring harnesses (1 for each muffler)
