Well the JDM's arent really that bad Ive only had a couple people flash their lights at me, the borla is in decent condition no major scratches, it is single tip, and as for the 2.5 cutout it goes right after the turbo so even though it is 2.5 not 3 it really wont matter much at all concidering the exaust gas will go through about a foot of 2.5 inch tubing, personally I think that is plenty.
