Borla currently has the single exhaust system available...
their dual exhaust system is still under development and not sure the exact date of release. My xB was used to develop and fit their prototypr dual exhaust system

EV_AIC-xB isn't the dual exhaut set-up with 1 1/2 pipe goin to the tips? I think I saw pics of your ride with it on. And wasn't the charcoal canister moved for the muffler?

Hahaha, true DAT! Used to have the TRD "Sport" Muffler on my Camry. Made by Borla too, sold as TRD. Man, nice deep throaty sound!

I'm sure it's more of a form over function to have a dual system on the XB. Nonetheless, the car takes it in stride.

Borla does make nice stuff but man are they expensive compared to other systems (except Corsa). I have SLP on my GP because the Borla was $200 more. The SLP is just has good and sounds better IMO.

The Borla IS expensive, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Borla just an axle-back system?

Exactly...splitting the exhaust stream in ANY size engine is going to give you less power.
