Why do you say that? I'm not Trying to Knock SHO-Source here but I don't care for the sound of their catback. The 3.2 MTX we just picked up has a has a Borla Catback and beside a Annoying rattle we need to track down, It's the best sounding Exhaust I've heard on a SHO.
With that said, It's not lot Catbacks give you much horsepower anyways, The only reason I'd get one is for the Sound. In this case, Borla Wins.
I'll get you a picture of ours Installed tonight when I get home if I can.

Here's one that I got off CD a couple of years ago. . . .
I would buy the SHOsource piping and add Borla mufflers, you will get more flow than the Borla cat-back (which has only 2.25 inch piping).
First off with our system you customize it. You can add your own mufflers to finish it off. So you make it sound how you want.
Ill need to get new sound clips up of the system on my car as it sounds even better, no rasp at all. For what ever reason the testing does not do justice for what you get.
Sean heard it as well as people at Convention.

FWIW, I didn't ask about the SHO Source kit because I am not interested in it.
Are the tips turn down a la Gen1, or polished a la Gen2?

Wut?
Depends what system it is. Gen 1 Borla kits had turndowns, Gen 2 Borla kits had stainless tips similar to factory.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks.

Glad I could help!
FWIW, either system will fit on your car. If you're getting a good enough deal on it, you can always take the turn downs off and add tips. IMO the Borla tips were kinda funky looking. They have "fins" (for lack of a better word) inside them.

Ashley's Gen II must have a Gen 1 Borla Kit on it as it has Turndown Tips.

92 had turn downs.

Which I recently learned, after Bill T. bought a factory cat-back on Ebay. He thought the seller had sent him the wrong one, but it matched up to his VIN.
My 92 is not factory correct. That must be why I only got a bronze.

My Plus isn't factory correct either. Had Flowmasters with turn downs...
Sorry wasn't trying to selling, just responding to Sam's comments.

89-92 all had the turndowns ie (not visible tips) 93-95 had stainless exposed tips
Well, no one on hear has heard how my shosouce catback sounds. Zero rasp, cold, hot, doesn't matter.
It's a nice deep tone, very sedated when idling, and absolutely bad ass when the secondaries kick in.
If I can find a microphone that can properly record the sound I will post it.
I think it sounds as good, if not better then the borla catback. I have checked out the borla setup in person, it sounds nice. I swapped my muffler once, simply because the first one was five years old and to loud.
Im not sure how old this info is, but for the price, shosource catback is the better deal by long shot.
SolidState, I will get a sound clip for you and what muffler I am running if you are interested.
Also, drooling over Borla for the brand name is...

The Borla cat-back hasn't been in production for almost 10 years.
