I am sitting at Further Performance right now having a Borla exhaust installed - they had a two week old system from someone who decided to go with the full APR setup. Out the door price is $425 and they said I could drive around for a week and if I didn't like it they would swap the stock system back and refund all but $50. If you live in Minnesota I highly recommend these guys. Review and clips to come once I get the opportunity.

Borla CBE being installed for $425 total

So I have driven the car for about 50 miles now and I am thinking over my options (no DP yet). The exhaust is decent and relatively quiet at cruising, but certainly makes itself known inside and outside the car when there is ANY load on the motor. I know that a CBE is not about horsepower, but the car seems to pull more smoothly and in a more linear fashion. I have ridden in a car equipped with a full APR exhaust (DP, full kit, and reflash) and that is my preference because it is quiet unless driven hard. Since I am 48 years old and this is my DD, I may change back to stock, install the APR DP now and get the balance of the APR system in the spring. My concern with that is the cutting required to make the DP work with the stock exhaust.
Interesting how different one person's perception/definition of "quiet" and "loud" are. I have the APR TBE and have had some (not much, but some) buyer's remorse because of how "loud" I think the exhaust is, even when just cruising around town at 35 mph. And when I actually step on it? It literally roars.
FocalPoint, I agree with you, having spent a bit of time on a variety of small blocks doing various things (cams, intakes, carbs,timing chains, exhaust, water pumps, etc) but when the labor quote for all of this was less than $200 (and the installer stands behind their work), I decided that was the better route for me.

I suppose $200 is worth more to me, than some. If we're talking a complete turbo kit, with rods and pistons, I'm going to trust a shop to do that for me. Yet, if it's a situation where it's just an exhaust swap, I'm gonna take off early on Friday and do it myself. It's kinda had to fuck up a catback and downpipe install.
