Borla Exhaust
I just installed a Borla exhaust & the results were very good.
I actually just bought the muffler & not the complete cat-back system. Installation was simple & took about 10 minutes. The reason I didn't get the whole system is the JK already has 2 1/2" tubing & most of the tubing behind the CAT is straight pipe. I realize that Borla has a resonator on their tubing, but as far as I know, they're the only company doing this.
Anyway, the sound is as deep as any V6 exhaust I've heard & a lot like a V8. It's not like that raspy-lawnmower sound that most rice burners sound like. I read somewhere on here or another forum that someone heard a Borla exhaust on a JK & sounded very raspy.
I'm happy to report that mine doesn't & sounds great. Power gains were very noticeable, especially on acceleration and passing on the highway.

I paid $449 shipped. I'm not sure if the following will get deleted or not, but I found the seller on E-bay & called them directly.

They're called Net Parts Express & phone # is 1 800 871 3619
As far as pics, not yet, but I'll work on it.
The dimensions are 10" x 19" x 5 1/2"

I'd like a new free flow too...but I feel like if I pay that kind of $$ I want to have the thing positioned more toward the middle of the Jeep for extra rear clearance.
