Be careful with whatever you choose. I bought the HKS rear section and was disappointed with the drone between 1500 and 2500 RPM. Problem is anytime I was going uphill, even a very shallow incline, the RPM's were right in that region. So I sold it and went back to stock. My wife's stock Z4 has the sound I was looking for. A great growl no matter the RPM. No drone anywhere in the RPM range. I was not looking for power, only the growl. I wish there was someting for me.

It's always good to get some feedbacks from you guys, before I buy.

I don't want that nasty Civic sound.
That is not my style at all.

Also the Stillen muffler looks like the stock muffler (dual tips on it).

I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about the HKS rear section. I've heard Stillen Gen 1 & 2 in person and it's just to loud for my taste. I've never heard Borla in person but will get the chance to finally hear it in person this weekend so I can finally make up my mind on whether to go Borla or stick with my HKS.
I'll let you know what I think georgio of the Borla. Hopefully we won't be too drunk
and I can take a spin in it to see how bad the drone really is (if any).

What do you think?

Cru came later than expected...so by the time he got there I was buzzing pretty hard and completely forgot about listening to the exhaust. I was playing host..making drinks, food, jokes 
PM me your email address. I have some clips that may help you decide. I'll see when I can hook up with Cru again to hear it in person.
Damn, he was at my house too....drinking + trying to get something done, don't mix
