WTT/FS: Borla Race to other aftermarket exhausts

It's Borla Race for 02-03 spec cars with older hanger styles.
I've bought it new 2 weeks ago and slapped on it about 400 miles so far.

The exhaust is all good, in mint condition but I am getting rid of it because of many rattles my car is making after the exhaust installtion. I went to a muffler shop today and the tech there told me the exhaust vibrates alot more because of free hanging inner hanger (i did not modify the hanger to fit my 05.) which causes all the other components, such as heatshields, to rattle like hell in some rpm range.

I knw it sounds very stupid.. but I am looking around to trade my 02-03 exhaust for a 04-05 exhaust. or maybe sell it any get another system to fit the new hangers.

For selling, I paid $780 for it, I'm looking for $700 OBO.

Not looking to purchase your exhaust...but....I installed a 02-03 spec Magnaflow cat back on my 06 cooper s. I unbolted the stock inner hangers from the body of the car, and made up a couple quick brackets to work with the hangers on the magnaflow. So far, this has worked very well for me. Something like that may help you settle down your borla.
