Default Magnaflow or Borla to replace Loudmouth resonator...

Need help here guys.....does anyone know if a 6" round magnaflow will fit in the I pipe without any modifications to the body or so on? Also do you think that this will sound anywhere as good as a Borla XR1....it is between these two so help me pick...thanks

I'm pretty sure the round XR-1 will fit in place of the resonator; seems a couple people have posted that they did that. If it's a little too close to the tunnel, you can bang it a bit with a sledge hammer (BFG.) I put a Oval Offset XR-1 in place of my resonator, but I had to do quite a bit of cutting and welding on the floor pan to get it in there. The results are worth it, though.

Does anyone know if the 3 1/2" XR1 part no. 40086 muffler will fit on the loudmouth without any probs? I believe the muffler size is the same for the 3" and 3 1/2" but would I be able to slide the muffler onto my 3" I pipe and weld without having to use a reducer? thanks
