Borla Exhaust
borla has made an exhaust for the tc-it just became available recently. however, it's a rear section catback-aka axleback. the trd exhaust is the only one i believe that dealerships would be selling. it's possible that the trd exhaust was made by borla. i don't remember where i read it, but it's def a possibility; trd does that with some stuff-have a company make it and then stamp TRD on it. supposedly the trd springs were made by eibach. this place is carrying the borla exhaust for $479 shipped:

that's kinda expensive for an axleback-the hks and trd can both be had for under $400. that same site has the hks for $389 shipped i think. the axlebacks aren't gonna give u any kind of significant gains-tops 2-3hp(if even that much). they'll sound good, but that's about it. also, if u're gonna get a header at some point, the only axleback exhaust so far that sounds decent with a header is the HKS. i just bought the creative compacts full catback with high flow cat and borla muffler. it's put out around 10-12hp, and sounds sick. i think it cost me $679 shipped.

I got the borla from the dealer, posted up a vid of it too. It doesn't sound too bad imo but for the price if you want more performance gain, save an extra 200 and get a full set up from CC or something.
