Sorry i think I read a post somewhere else and it looks like you already made up your mind, so you might as well go with the borla. Both companies are well known and make good products so I don't think you lose either way

Even if you haven't blown out your 4.0's stock manifold or exhaust yet, a Borla system is a beneficial upgrade that will offer increased performance and a pleasant exhaust tone with no aggravating cabin reverberations (fourwheeler)

A quick search on Jeepforum looks like borla is less restrictive and gives more power than the flowmaster

hope this helps

Well, on the cheap and a decent sound. Jegs has a 50$ MIR on their dynomax cat-back exhausts. Other than that I do recommend a muffler of your choice and having a local exhaust shop make you an exhaust. Will be cheaper.
Best muffler's on my list are:
Aero Turbine
Magnaflow/bullet performance
Dynomax ultraflo
The flowtech warlock is good for the price also.

the thing with dynomax is you paying for a name , dynomax actually max alot more mufflers under differant names wich are half the price and all the same quality , the thrush ll mufflers are really decent for the price , not saying its the best one , but for the price i paid im extremely happy , i had a flowmaster on my other truck and welds inside broke so i had a constant rattle that was driving me insane , i love magnaflow but they seem pretty over priced to me , but pep boys does sell them now
