Default What's the best deal going for the xB TRD ehxaust?

I possibly want an xB TRD exhaust. What is the best price I can get one for? Thanks in advance!

TRDSparks.com should have some of the best prices.

Thanks for the Sparks link, checked Sparks but their price is over 300. Cabe has it on sale for 285 plus shipping. Trying to get it for under 300 shipped.

Which dealer is that? The parts guy must have hit a 1 with the 2, and the $220 must be dealer cost.
I would prefer the TRD because it is chambered for reverse flow like the OEM, not straight through and glass-packed like so many others. The TRD is probably the quietest and easiest to live with, and its sound will not get louder over the years from the packing getting filled with carbon or getting blown out.

The photos of the two mufflers look entirely different. The TRD is a flat oval with the inlet on one side and the outlet on the other, like the OEM. There is an inlet chamber, then reverse flow to the outlet chamber. The Borla is a straight can.

I just put a PM on my xB last night and love it. Its exactly what I was looking for - deep and low but not annoyingly loud. Also, no rasp. Check out my myspace for a video comparison between the stock and PM.

Note: the interference is a bracket that has to be removed (just two bolts) - I didn't know that until after I had muffler in and heard rattling. Overall, I'm super happy with it and hope to add MMW headers soon.
