Yes, its going to have blue tips. If your not digging the blue tips, but you want a similar design. I would go with Tanabe. Unfortunately the Tanabe is just a axle back and more expensive than other cat backs. But there are reasons why.

I'm with you man. But don't forget the almost relaesed Racinline Y-Pipe to delete the third cat and fee up the front end.

Borla FTW. A lot of my videos on the internet are fairly abrupt and close to the exhuaust, but I also have videos on youtube of inside the cabin sounds, outside the car sounds, and far away stationary sounds. Just look for them under the profile Adidas2go and you'll find them.

I have heard both the Nismo and Borla from inside, outside and riding in the car. The Borla has a lower exhaust note and all around is not as loud. That was with a stock intake.

I have the Nismo, and when I first installed it I also had my Injen Intake on also. Both of those combined sounded very loud, not obnoxious though. My wife was complaining so much that I took off the Injen and that made it a little quieter. So, as you can see, my Injen is for sale.

If you want to hold off and go to the meet in San Diego I'm sure you will be able to hear everything.

I'm all for the Borla exhaust...it sounds aggressive....but if you want to keep it simple and a little quieter...go for the nismo
