Depends on the type of noise you are looking for. Gain in power and torque is about the same. Borla is louder, raspier and has more of a classic V8 noise while Invidia is quieter than Borla, but seems to have smoother, exotic-like noise and seems higher pitched at high rpms. Invidia also has the burnt blue titanium tips as well.

I love my Invidia exhaust. Quiet when driving, loud when I’m smashing on it. Also I noticed pops and crackles after a spirited quick drive when downshifting or coming to a stop. It almost sounds like an aggressive G37 exhaust which to be honest I like that exhaust sound. Just my opinion. But I love it so far. Borla seemed like it would have been to loud all the time for me especially since I’m getting headers.

Both are good systems. I think Invidia is made of better quality and is a little cheaper. Borla sounds louder but everyone has one. If you're getting headers, you might want to consider how loud your system already is because adding headers will make that a lot louder, it's something to consider. Just a heads up. I have a Bazooka exhaust and mine crackles a decent amount when i'm coming to a stop but my exhaust is extremely loud, and that's without putting my headers on yet.

Borla is especially LOUD in tunnels and multi--level parking garages. Also very loud when even just driving normally passing others if I'm in the fast lane. A friend of mine was in a convertible with the top down and I passed her on the fast lane......she called me soon after I had passed her that I had just ruptured her ear drums out!!

Armytrix is one of the "pricier" options alongside GT Haus. I guess, if the budget is under $2000 then Ark grip, Borla or Invidia are the only viable options. There is JoeZ as well, but it has not been very popular mainly due to the diagonal mufflers. Plus, I heard it drones a lot at around 2000 rpm in higher gears.
