In my opinion, no, it is not. Just get a downpipe and a test pipe and be done with your exhaust.
Just be warned that that setup sounds AWFUL on the NAs. Super rice-tastic at anything over about 2k RPMs. The cat manages to mellow the sound out a LOT and thank goodness for that.

If you want Borla go with the TT, plus its cheaper than the NA and sounds amazing. 3sx sells them for like 750 or so. Borla.com sells them for around 800-1000. It may be expensive to you but your getting quality and performance.
I found a flowmaster muffler setup that i plan to work around, my friend and i would hopefully build a custom setup around it because i like the muscle sound of flowmaster a little better. Cheaper as well
Adam7 is right. The TT Borla does sound great on a NA.
TT borla is expensive unless you can find a used one ... I have a 3sx downpipe, race pipe, and a Maximal single shot and it doesn't sound ricer at all though could be the SOHC motor making the difference. Maximal single shot exhaust is even better less weight, less restriction, and it only costs $210.
Hey guys quick question, I was looking around for a cold are intake and I read this post and how the ones off of ebay are ok to buy. Has anyone bought one of them? Do they just bolt right in or whats the deal?
