Mufflers Straight Off Headers
Mufflers Straight Off Headers I just put my Borla XR-1's straight off my headers.
Car sounds great.
I had open headers with about 24" of straight pipe with turndowns before.
Car was way loud and sounded like ****.
Performance wise, can I run these Borla's straight off the headers or do I need some straight pipe between the headers and mufflers?
These are the short case mufflers. So the O2's are about 22" from the end of the mufflers. Is that far enought away?

Verdad Gallardo I thought mine sounded like crap. I have had several in my shop like that. Terrible drone at highway seeds. I did it to run at a track with a sound level limit. Still have them out in the garage. Don't have a name on them, don't remember the brand. 3 1/2" straight through, with a divider down the middle. Only cost 6 to 7 rwhp over open headers. Didn't think they sounded all that great, but I'm very old.

I'm pretty old, and can't stand the sound of a loud *** car.
These Borla XR-1's tone the sound down nicely.
Dynatech sounds right. I went out and looked yesterday thinking they may have a name on them. They don't. I called Julio at Cartek in NJ to see what would pass the decibel test at the Englishtown NJ track before I hauled it back there for that magazine article several years ago. They were on there for a week. Need to make a list of stuff I need to sell. Cams, rear gears, headers, etc. when I die somebody is going to have a ton of **** to dispose of. LOL
Here is a sound clip, dont know if you can make anything out of it or not.
The mufflers and turndowns are just slid on loosely.
