Default LE2.2 idle though a Borla XR1

Got my new exhaust on last night, it took all day but it was worth it. Had the guys make me a custom Borlamouth setup using the XR1. It sounds a lot louder than I was hopng but it has a nice smooth sound and makes my old stock muffler/cutout setup sound like **** in person. I really love the exhaust, and like I read in another thread, this is staying on for good. Borla XR1 dumdumdum !!!

3" ORY-->Borla XR1-->Split into 2-->Stainless Steel 3" tips

Im gonna get some more vid of the new setup, I heard it on an LS1 and I loved the way it sounded. But we all know LT1's sound way better in the exhaust dept. I'll post vids later.

Sounds good. Get some more clips because I've always wanted to really hear the XR1 on an LT1.

Thanks, added another vid with some revs from last night. Finally got my PCMforless chip on along with the 32lb'ers and its night and day difference. The car idles on its own, it doesnt die at a stop and the part throttle is amazing. 11's here I come .

Could you possibly get someone to get a vid of you driving down the street at normal speed then getting on it some?

Sounds good!

Although I think I liked the stock catback better. I like the raspy sound.

I loved the stock exhaust too, but I hate having to get under the car everytime I needed to open the cutout. Although an e-cutout would have been practical for me, I really didnt like the sound anymore.

I tried to get some more vids, but its been so windy that the sound sucks so bad. When the weather settles down I'll post em up.
