Moi, borla is ok for sound nice for style bad for flow. I just custom fab'd mine. My Avatar has a small pic + some in my grage pics. I absolutly love the rumble i have now, i have driven+heard a borla kit its kinda twangy and fluffly throttle response sound though i dont know what else he had for exhuast. But my side pipe just have a cylindrical small resonator + x pipe and it sounds great(especially when cold at idle LOL) but full throttle sounds very unique and strong

Also if you can afford exhaust w/ side skirts the lame design to get it out the side is worth the look from the exterior of the car

That's the roush kit, the only problem with Side Exit Exhausts is you have to look around for a good subframe connector that fits

I'm running Spintech side exit mufflers on my Roush. Here's a vid with a Mac O/R H, Spintech mufflers, and a slow 30mph'ish drive-by....

The side skirts do look alot better with the tips coming coming out the side but be prepared for some scraping if you do go that route, especially with speed bumps and high drive ways.

Cut off the mufflers and turn the pipes out to the side. A muffler shop can do this for less than $100+the price of tips.
Real loud and mean. I have been running this for 3 yrs. Sounds wicked at WOT.

I think to make it look right you must change your rear bumper cover to one without cutouts such as the V-6 bumper cover.

Here is my GT with the Borla Side Exhaust kit. It has a nice rumble to it and is fun to echo the exhaust when beside other cars. I also put on a bassani offroad x-pipe that made it a lot louder than with the stock h. It has a low rumble that isnt really loud at idle but gets loud at 2000rpm+. My brother has a borla cat-back kit also with a bassani offroad x-pipe and we both agree that mine is noticeably louder at idle and cruising speeds with a deeper/cackly sound. I have heard many people say to get different mufflers if you get the roush side exhaust with magnaflows because they are too quiet. I have also heard that spintech's side exhaust kit is louder than borla's but I have never heard the spintechs.
I have H&R SS springs and havent had any scraping issues yet. You will need to get exhuast cutout covers for your rear bumper or get a V6 bumper cover like i did. I also know that ford racing makes a rocker molding like roush to work with the borla side exhaust exhaust but i think it looks better without.

Im not sure if you can get the borla side exhaust kit anymore from borla's site. I got mine on sale from borla for $438 and it was normally $900 before. Right after i got mine I think they took it off their site. I know steeda sells a similar kit as well as ford racing but I think their spendy.
