Another plus is the fact that the exhaust sits higher then stock so you dont see any of the muffler like you do the trd and alsop the fact that this has a million mile warranty where as the trd will only have 12,000 if you do the installation yourself.

really?
cos the only thing I don't like about the TRD is that I can see it behind

Tc4italy, yeah you cannot see the muffler like you can the trd. Thats what turned me off on the trd, so i took a chance on the borla. I installed it and then stood back behind the car and was very pleased to not see the system..its tucked up and away very nicely. I also just got back from a 200 mile trip with my tc ranging 75-80mph the whole time and i never got any drone or annoying noises inside the car, im very pleased with this system well worth the money imo!

Borla sounds very nice. I would pick it over TRD any day. It would probably be my #3 pick.

I like:
1. Megan Drift Spec
2. Injen
3. Borla
