Backwards Compatibility

Is there any reason an 06 CAI or Cat-back wouldn't work on my 07 M-Theory?

And for my exhaust, I was thinking about getting the 2.25" borla cat-back. I hate obnoxiously loud exhausts, both in cabin and from the outside. I want something more aggressive but I don't want to hear this obnoxiously loud drone in the cabin. Does anyone have the borla, and is it livable?

I have the Borla on my '03 and I love it. It's not 'obnoxiously loud', but it definately has a throaty rumble to it. It's not the least bit annoying, as compared to something completely riced with just the can. I love when someone cuts their stock muffler off and adds a cheap autozone muffler inline with thier piping. ($20 says I catch hell for the autozone remark) Anyway, as far as it fitting the M-theory, I'm not so sure. Mine is made to fit '03-04. As far as interior cabin noise goes, that depends on how heavy your foot is. Quick acceleration = more airflow and louder exhaust. My sister borrowed it and she has a light foot and hardly noticed that it was even on. If ya have your windows open and you're over 3000 RPM, ya def can hear it.
