Default Borla or Blitz nur-spec??

Has anyone here heard BOTH of these exhausts and can compare them? I've searched the exhaust threads and although I've found plenty of good info on both exhausts - I'd really like some opinions from people who've heard both and can compare them. I want the best combo of unintrusive in the cabin yet deep and powerful at wot from the outside. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

im a Blitz man ...but i think you all know that

the best person to ask on the Borla Exhaust is Dave GS4 he seems to love his

i have Blitz and for the V8 ..i feel its the best sounding one they make nothing but compliments

im sure if you have searched you've seen my name in one or two of then

i would read member Gsing430 post on it ...one of the best reviews ive read on it

So blacksc400 and TLW, have you both actually heard both exhausts on the same car and prefer the blitz or have you only heard the blitz?
Thanks.

Thanks guys for your opinions - TLW, that's cool - please let me know what you think after hearing a borla. Also, will the nur-spec look as good with the stock gs bumper as the borla? I don't plan to get any aftermarket bumper or bodykit.
Thanks.

I can't comment on the Blitz - don't think I've heard one of those in person myself.

I do prefer the look of the oval borla tips, especially with a stock bumper / cutouts. Looks very fitted to them and fills the cutouts nicely I'm not much of a big cannister guy myself.

yup i agree, with the stock bumper the oval shape does fill up the space better. that's what i told myself when i first got the borla tips

Daleer, I'm with ya man, good question, I have exactly the same issues and concerns. I'm deciding to go with the Blitz. I like the round tips, looks like it sticks out a bit more.
Check out GSing430's post and pics.
