So, I've been chatting with @beefcake and he probably thinks I'm a giant pain in the butt. I very much appreciate all the time he's given me so far!
I'm not sure which way to go but I DEFINITELY will be making a purchase for an exhaust from him since what's on the car NEEDS TO GO! It's an MBRP Racing setup that was installed by Stevie Wonder with a welder fetish (who welds a clamp with the nuts facing the body to the pipe???).
I'm stuck between the Borla Touring and the Ford Performance by Borla Touring catbacks based on sound. A lot of other options (like the S-Type and beyond) sound too raspy/tinny/trebly to my ear (if that's my imagination, please tell me, cuz part of me thinks the S-Type would work). There are some other options that sound nice but are WAAAAAAY beyond what I can realistically spend.
Also, I'm trying to pick between black and polished chrome for the tips. The car is Magnetic and has black 5.0 badges on the fenders, a chrome pony on the front, and currently no GT badge on the back (I'm working on that as per my other thread).

Big part of the problem: So, regardless of which option I go with I have to wait. The Borla with the black tips is the shortest wait while the Ford Performance options don't have an actual ETA. That's not @beefcake's fault, though. I spent many years in retail and you're always at the mercy of your vendors.
Photos of the car, in case it helps.
Thanks for reading my long-arse thread.
