Borla has it's plus and minus
Usually they sound pretty good,
But they are expensive and usually made with many joints which we have found these all crack and leak over time which is a huge turn off for me. Plus the price isn't any better than a similar system that won't crack.
Fitment on their R56 system is a big fail as it gets in the way of the center body support.
I'd keep looking.

Concur. I've got the Borla on my 2011, and it's pretty rusted on the outside already. Don't know what metal finishing they're doing, but it's not even standing up well to occasional Colorado mg-cl in the winter. Do like the sound though, a bit loud at 75mph, but not bad otherwise.
