New exhaust or stay stock?

I am getting either a popcharger w/ztube or a fujiti short ram. I'm also getting a spacer probably 1/2" and i know those already add sound but i was also planning on getting Borla exhaust and i'm not sure if i should get it or leave my stock exhaust on. I'm asking about the sound not performance (although that was teh initial reason i was going to get exhaust). Thanks

Borla is a damn good brand, but I love the G's stock sound as it is.. not too loud and not too quiet (for my tastes anyways). Who knows, put on the intake first, and if it isn't loud enough or to your liking then change it.

Borla exhaust...NFW!

I am probably THE exhaust *****, I've had my coupe 4.3 years and I've had
5 cat back systems. The third being Borla, trust me when I tell you the
quality, fit and sound doesn't compare to either Stillens dual system or HKS
which I finally settled for....and love! Another piece of advice, don't buy a
intake that made of metal, yea they look pretty but it's better to think about
function than cute. Metal intakes suffer from heat soak and that kills
HP....nothing like heating up the incoming air to make your G run like
Stillen's CAI comes with a giant K&N filter and you won't have any heat issues! You've got lots of choices....enjoy! Don't forget Stillens Z-Tube!

I have HKS, everyone that rides in my car compliments how it sounds. Doesn't sound too loud or obnoxious with the windows up, with them down, it sounds utterly amazing. Like, if an exhaust could sound perfect for a car then the HKS is the closest thing I've heard. Don't get test pipes with it though, rasp sounds like ***, HFCs or stock cats are good.

Oh yeah, I floor it under EVERY freeway overpass and inside the tunnels now just so I can hear it, and I've had it ~1 year, still amazes me how good it sounds.

Fast Intentions, MotorDyne, HKS, and Stillen are 4 great exhaust systems. Go with one of the four.

Exhaust systems....from the pro's HAHA

Zack has one of the best sounding exhaust systems ever, especially when he
removes the resonator just inside the tip. His system is kinda like that first
swallow of beer on a super hot day....NICE!

Wait. Are you saying the Borla is better or the Stillen and HKS are better than the Borla?

Gary hates the Borla so I am sure he ranks the others over the Borla.
