Go get a job like the rest of us have to. Thats the only way to pay for your hobbie unless you can get mommy and daddy to pay for it.

So I guess people with jobs never try to find good deals or have limited budgets?

Unless you want loud, you might check out the Alta. Nice sound at a nice price.

I'm in highschool too. Probably younger than you too. If I can install one, so can you. Keep an eye in the marketplace. Thats your best bet.

And if you want to save a few extra bucks, do the install yourself. It is pretty strait forward. All you really need aside from the correct socket are some $20 rhino ramps to drive the back end up on. I think it took me about an hour to do mine. Goon instructions too, makes it easy to follow.

Oh, and excellent choice on picking the Borla. You will be glad you did!

Helix Minisports in Philly has really good prices on Borla Exhausts. Well after looking at the prices...they have went up significantly since September, but are still at a good price.

Did you get the "aggressive" version, Borla part # 140119 or the "street" version part #140120?
I am contemplating the Borla street for my 06 Cooper S.
I would love to see a followup once you complete the install and have had some time with your new exhaust.
Good luck.
Gary
