Default 99.5 A4 1.8TQ + Borla Cat back..........

Worth the money? DIY install (I have access to a pit -- any special tools required)?

Let me hear from the experts...........

Yes. I love my Borla, sounds amazing, especially when it gets broken in.

If I searched more completely you wouldn't have anything to bitch about and I'd hate to see you with nothing to do.........

I'd talked to Borla so I was pretty certain assembly was a breeze -- I was more interested in current opinions about whether it was worth dropping the coin. For example, based on my SIG you can see what I've done with the car -- given that I had enough money to buy a Borla Cat Back or something else -- would the Borla be the ticket in that price range? Lowering it is out of the price range right now -- and I have some nice 17" factory wheels.

Yeah exhaust is fairly easy I also have a 99.5 with the Borla. Only issue I have is the bolts between the downpipe and Cat are a little hard to access/rusted. A dremel or similar is sometimes needed.

The longer you stick around here, the better of an understanding you will have that what you might consider "bitching" is actually helpfull advice, and you should follow it.......
