Default Borla XR-1's with TSP TD's

Borla XR-1's with TSP TD's...I would like to remove my bullet mufflers and replace them with Borla XR-1 mufflers to quiet it down some. Is this swap doable? Will I need to do any modification to my TD system to get them to tuck up nicely?

I am going to be driving the car everyday and I do not like looking over my shoulder to watch for cops.

If anyone has done this or heard a similar system or just heard an XR-1, are these mufflers quiet? opinions?

Thanks
Ryan

I used to have one XR1 on my car and I liked it but it was too big for me to fit my cutout on so I had to take it off. With that being said I think it will only work if you put them before the tips because they will not fit before the axle.

I do not have cut outs. Was that your only reason for clearance issues?

No personal experience with them, but from pictures they look quite a bit bigger than bullets. Spiral flows will fit and are quieter than bullets

No clearance issue but an issue of no room because the borla was to big to put a cutout and keep the borla on the i-pipe.

I think it could work if you sat the muffler sideways underneath the bumper. There would be some crazy bends, but it should turn out ok.
