Do not by the HKS it sounds so horrible with a header. Do it right and actually by a cat back or whatever they are called on a tC. The borla is by far the better exhaust and not to mention it doesnt stick sideways out the rear. And also the sticking sideways of the HKS can cause the muffler or tip to hit the body and melt it. Buy the BORLA no QUESTION!

what do have for the rest of your exhaust? what headers and s-pipe and mid pipe do u have? i am considering the borla along with headers and an s-pipe and such and was wondering what you have.

go for a full exhaust like draxas or magnaflow or megan racing something that replaces everything for the most gains

Has anybody have this problem with their HKS doing this. I have a friend that has a HKS Hi-Power on his STI and he has had no problem with it melting his bumper.
