XR-1 borla install pictures...help.
XR-1 borla install pictures...help. Guys, im trying to tone down the loudness of the car with an XR-1 (part# 40085) on the I pipe. Right now all I have is a single chamber flowmaster over the axle. Ive seen pictures of the borlamouth on the ground off the car, what I need is some detailed pictures of it installed on the vehicle.
I just got back from an exhaust shop, and they said that there is NO WAY that muffler would go on the vehicle and not hit everything. I would love it if you guys had some pics of it installed under the car so i can print out the pictures, throw them in this ******** face (guy was very short with me), then take it to a real exhaust shop and have it installed. Any help would be greatly appricated.

this is the best pic i can find. and tell the guys at the shop that you can take your business elsewhere if they wont do it. shouldnt be more than 30 bucks to put on

thanks for the help so far guys, anyone by chance have a picture underneath the car while its up on the lift. Just want there to be NO questions from any guys as to where the muffler is suppose to go. I know it looks like its placed right before the rear axle.
I still have the stock Ipipe, so im guessing he will need to fab up a new "over the axle" pipe that is more of a 90 degree bend, then say a 75 degree bend that the factory pipe is? Thanks again so far for the help.

No pics but I can say from experience if your car has been lowered then you will smack that muffler on a lot more stuff. I pulled my out after a year of abuse. It was rewelded a few times and dented pretty good on the front half before I replaced it with a hi flow cat design for 6.0 liter trucks. Sounds mean. But in short that muffler will fit. Good luck.
As you can see I used a hammer pretty good. I would hit my sfcs before my mufflers.

loud like single chamber slowmaster?
I'll send you the cell phone pics tomorrow when I'm off duty. It was raining all day and I'm still @ the FD. My buddy and I both have the XR-1 on our F-body's with Pacesetters and TSP ORY's. The cars sound sick with my X1 and his MS3. I lost a few HP on the dyno but gained torque adding the XR-1 to my SLP LMII setup. (I also dyno'd on a built transmisison after the XR-1 install...) The small loss in power was worth the removal of the annoying rasp/pop noise.
BTW, my car was dyno'd on two different dyno jets after I installed the smaller Vig 3200 and the XR1 muffler. You can see the STD results were 395/357 (LM2 stock 4L60e + Vig 3600) to 385/373 XR1+ RPM 4L60e + Vig3200).

just some FYI for everyone, got it put on...this thing is QUIET! Its the XR-1 followed with a single chamber flow master dumped over the axle...car sounds like stock manifolds and cats, with a 40 series flowmaster.
Definately NO rasp at all either. Right now im pleased with it, will be a nice change of pace from all the noise im use to. Id be curious to how much louder it would get if i took off that single chamber flowmaster?

have any sound clip? what system you running how loud
loud like single chamber slowmaster?
-the car is not quiet by any means. i live in a smaller town and have 3 warnings in my glove box for loud exhaust. I don't think i've ever gone down the street with out getting a stare,smile, thumbs up, or a nod though
