Anyone running Borla wde open, GET A BULLETT MUFFLER! I have been running borla wide open ever since i got my car pretty much and always hate the rasp it made when slightly accelerating around 2 -2.5K so i went ahead and got a bullett 18" welded into the I pipe. What a diffirence!!!! Sounds like it should of came from the factory no more rasp, great tone, extremely happy with it. I just had to overpay for installation though b/c I had no cats and most places wouldn't touch it, err... but it was worth it. Anyone who hates the rasp, get a bullett, you won't regret it. that's it..... just giving you borla guys an option to get rid of rasp.

I just ordered some LTs with cats to go along with my wide open Borla.....should I expect rasp with the cats too?

I have Pacesetter headers with no cats, and OFY pipe & a Borla, I put the medium size plate in and it sounds awesome, no rasp. before the install i was ready to go buy a Bullet muffler for the I pipe, however i'll just stick with the medium plate.

Yah, the medium plate does give a nice sound but it just wasn't loud enough for me. 
It doesn't really make the car any quiter at all just a diffirent tone, sounds VERY slightly muffled, just enough to get rid of the rasp.
And yes you can get the bullett from any parts catalog or buy one used like i did, just get the 3" in/out and I would suggust the 18" one but it probably doesn't matter what length you get.

i could maybe get you one this weekend.... Have to be a small video actually... but i imagine it would be hard to tell through a video since it's not a drastic change but I'll try and see anyways.

I WAS planning on this route, then I noticed that dynomax has a 6 inch round welded muffler. I spoke w/dynomax. They said this muffler and the bullet feature the same straight through design, hence the same flow rate. The only difference is that the 6 inch welded round muffler is quieter. This is what I am going to put in my ory to quiet it down/reduce rasp.

i got slp lt's with random tec cats runnin 100% open through my borla and its bad ***. i have no rasp. i dig it cause crusing is quiet, however, if i want it loud, i punch it. people turn and look, lol. on a squed note, im getting a cam installed. i want it to sound bad *** but i think the cats are gonna mess the sound of the idle up. sould i take the cats out and run the 50% plate? sorry to hijack the thread.
