REQ: Pix of Borla Hush installed

I've been looking into getting the Borla Hush catback for a while... many claim this exhaust "looks like stock" but I have been mulling over how giant dual 3" pipes look stock compared to the 1.8" tips I have now. Anyone have a picture of this exhaust system actually installed? Bonus points if it is on a 02 Platinum Silver WRX...

Here's a pic I found of the Borla Hush installed. The piping is 3", the tips are smaller, about 2-2.5".

hush exhaust performance

I was looking at the borla hush exhaust.
I wanted something that gave me some more hp and had a nice throaty note, but didn't make my WRX sound like a civic / lawnmower.

Any feed back on how it performs?
If not, any other systems out there that would satisfy those qualifications?

The Borla is about as loud as stock, I believe it is 1.5 decibals louder(not even enough to hear). The tone is deeper and more rumbly. I think this is due to the three inch piping. It is a catback, which means you still have the restrictive downpipe and cats. I noticed a little increase in power at the top end. It sounds great and is an easy install. It will not draw the attention of the local police and looks like it belongs on the car. I am very satisfied with it.

Thanks for the great pix, guys! Very fast response time

However, I do have another request... do you have any from farther away (like you were just looking at the car in a driveway or at a parking lot, rather than zoomed in on the exhaust)...

This is shaping up to be my next mod, definitely.
