Exhaust selections
I am going to have to replace the exhaust on my TII soon, but I can't decide which to go with:
Borla SS cat-back #14191 it has a million mile warranty, but I am not sure if it is a good choice for a TII. I put one on my old N/A, and it was great. Only costs 440+ shipping. Borla lists the same setup for the TII, but I have heard that the borla might cause some boost creep.
Thought about the Racing beat, not to sure about all the specs, but have heard about it being rather pricey?
Tried searching, but not enough info to sway me one way or another.
Thanks for your input.

RB, get it. I was thinking about getting it, though the price wasnt right. I instead bought a Apexi GT Spec. I overall spent too much putting that damn exhaust in that i should of just bought a RB exhaust.

1.3L is not that small
well with any bigger exhaust you can exp boost creep... somebody i know (torean a guy on the board) just put his exhaust on yesterday and had boost creep all the way to 14 psi... hes very lucky his motor didnt go but from what i know he has a walbro fuel pump and that probably saved his motor.... if you go RB prepare to have to do some porting on the wastegate or remember to stay off the boost until you have a remedy for it

Racing beat has the best quality stuff, it fits perfectly and the latest muffler design is friggin awesome (even though you can't see the rotor emblem on the cans when its mounted on the car!!!)
HOWEVER.. don't expect the Racing Beats to be insanely loud, they'll growl pretty good at you under boost and let you know they are there, but for a geezer like me, that's all i want.... playing in a metal band and working with explosives has already damaged my hearing enough!!! If you want retarded loud, you'll need to go with something else.
IMO borla stuff is made for guys with ego problems driving corevetts.....
