Default Borla is very nice - I'd listen to one and/or the other in person before buying.

Should be able to make up your mind.

I'd go Borla FWIW. Million mile warranty is nice, and many people here like it.

Default I have the Vibrant Streetpower Part # 1695 - excellent fitment, sound and price

I paid ~ $560.00 + tax for the Vibrant (new) just over a year ago. May also want to consider Milltek 3" - depending on your priorities for an exhaust system (with the Milltek exhaust you're setup for the Tantrumwerks DP's if you decide to in the future)

The AWE Twin 2 is also a very nice exhaust system

FYI - on a 3" exhaust system you will notice a loss of low RPM torque IF you are not running an ECU chip

Default Techtonics Tuning Dual 2.5" Borla?

If you can live with ~3.25" of ground clearance at the lowest point.

This is the lowest point, it is the driver's side pipe connecting the downpipe to the front muffler.
