I love all the hate.

Borla makes great exhaust systems and they have for decades. Used to be, before the JDM campaign, that's all you could get. They've made systems for virtually every Nissan car/truck, all high quality with OE fit and look. I wouldn't knock anything they make. The sound is also the most unique out there and has been, that's one of the company's known traits.
However, last time I checked they did not offer an S14 system, so just purchasing a universal muffler is your only option there. In that case you can pick up virtually any design and style for less than $50 on Ebay, in any material almost. Have a pipe welded up with your own choice of resonator installed if you're worried about attention. That beats the hell out of paying up to $400 for a name when you're only using a small part of the entire system. Otherwise, buy a full SSA exhaust for $220 and weld a resonator inline somewhere and add a silencer, you're still under $300 for a complete 3" system that's quiet and unobtrusive.

Word, dude.

Believe or not, plenty of domestic guys run awesome accessories and equipment on their vehicles. On the same note, not all JDM shit is great.

If it works, it works, regardless of country of origin.

And besides, in the end, it's going on YOUR car, not anyone elses. So if you like it, that's all that matters.
