I like to Borlas. All the DSE cars run Borla and after seeing them at the GG autocross events and the OUSCI this year I had to give them a shot.

Do the Spintechs drone?
I personally don't think you're gonna find something that meets all your goals here.

Dumps before axle
No droning
Evil at idle

I think you'll be making some sacrifices, but like a lot of things, evil, quiet, and other descriptors are in the eyes of the beholder.

Personal preference, but this is one of the cleanest sounding motors I've heard that works for track and street. You just need to imagine it with an insulated interior and a "normal" sounding gear box.



I believe Brian is running 3" Borla's that side exit in front of the left rear wheel opening. Check his build thread it shows the system.

Let's just say Brian's car is high on my all-time favorites list and straight cut gears rock!

I wouldnt buy spintech. after having there mufflers rust from inside out in 5 years, they told me that was normal life for there stuff. That didnt sit well with me since it was my daily driver. I switched to magnaflow and will buy that for my camaro as well.

Exactly, your first problem is dumps. Sound reflects... Regardless of the muffler you will have some resonance.
