I have heard the sportline and it sounds ok. I have the Tom's Barrel and it has a great rumble when you first start it up and at idle. The best is just accelerating. Definitely sounds like a good motor. Too bad I don't have cams, it would make the car sound meaner.

Well, i found the borla at 489.00 and the blitz fo 599.00 . Its just a matter of choice now.. So now it may be between borla and the blitz... The only thing that bothers me on the blitz is that those mufflers look huge on the back... The canister look......... But on gsing430 car it doesn't look to bad.... I will definitly be notice by that exhaust thats for sure....

jaja......let me know what you decide.. I'm in the same boat you are as far as not having a loud exhaust. and want cabin noise to be at its low.....thanks tmf

TMF - totally don't want the crazy large exhaust tips.... don't want the VIP JDM look (not saying its bad... I already did the badboy street racer scene with my Z32 in Japan, expecting a kid anyday (which is the reason why we bought the GS) so I want to go subtle, but something with ***** when required.

Dunno when I can get around to actually installing the thing, with the kid coming and everything..... but I'll let you know if I decide and what I think about whatever I get - but personally I'm leaning towards the Borla.

TLW - on the exhaust there.... looks tight.... Not exactly the message I want to set across, but looks tight. I would go for that if my wife would let me, (technically its her car)

The thing with those massively large exhausts is that they "look" loud

BTW are those Blitz?

Nice pic too.

i have never scrape it in anyways, shape or form. the only that ever come into contact is the debris from driving or dirt during those rainy days

actually, i don't think it hangs low at all, my ride is lowered but there's plenty of clearance atleast in my case. here's another view, i didn't get to shine it so it's kinda dirty.

Wow what nice pic.... So how much of the piping does the exhaust kit come with? From the bend part or the part thats in front of the control arm area? That exhaust looks really good.. Doesn't look bad at all...Thanks tmf
