Borla Pro XS mufflers?
I'll try and get some pics soon. I'm sure you could put them at the back bumper, but I wouldn't. I made the mistake of moving the single chambers on my Camaro from under the back seats to the rear bumper, and it changed the sound of the system big time, with nothing but muffler movement. I hate the way it sounds now, and am really thinking about having them moved back.

In what way did it change the sound? Make it louder, quieter, or just tone? So where are they mounted now? Thought you had them before the axle. I assume you didn't have to do the BFH mod to the floorboard to get them to fit? I guess ground clearance is good as well? Sorry so many questions I just want to be done with my exhaust, tired of changing. lol.
On my Camaro, I used to have my single chambers before the axle, but had them moved because of clearance problems. Now, they're right in front of the rear bumper. I'll try and get a vid of it sometime, to compare it to how it sounded with them under the rear seats. It used to be deeper, smoother, and less raspy with them under the rear seats.

Hey I have those too! You will love them my fellow Borla muffler friend. I have to get mine tucked in a bit more because I am about to drop the car. Oh and the chop shop put them under my front seats, it seems OK.
When I got pulled over, I left the car idle and the cop never said a word about the noise. They are very quiet. Though you have a cam is loppey compared to my stock cam.

Glad you didn't have to use the BFH. To me there are no mufflers worth doing that for. Pics of the T/A with the Borlas would be great, when you get the time. I am not sure if I will have to get the off set ones or the center ones.

I got the offset in/center out ones. But, that's because they don't make center/center in 3". Worked out better for me anyways. Because my X pipe brought the pipes in closer together than my H-pipe. So, they were able to use all the piping from the crossover to the rear bumper without changing a thing. That's probably why the mufflers aren't tucked up as well as they could be.
Yeah my x-pipe brings the pipes in pretty close too. That is why I was thinking of doing the off set muffler so they don't get into the drive shaft or TA. I love the way these sound and after driving the car late last night, yeah it is time to tone her down. Not even much fun to drive cause you have to putt around everywhere. Funny, the louder and faster the car gets the slower I drive it. Ha Ha! Would still like to see pics of how they are mounted for comparison with mine so I know what to get.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Taking the plung, ordered my Borla ProXS's last night. I went with the offset 3" in/3" center out. I just hope they cure the drone issue and quite the car down. Plan on mounting them at the back seat and stepping down to 2.5 pipe under the axle and out the back for a little more clearance. Got them for $84 a piece. Don't think where I bought them is a sponsor on here so if you want the name you can PM me.

Aledo Muffler, in Aledo, IL. I didn't really want to beat the floorboard to fit the mufflers, and, like I said, they could be tucked up more. They were just trying to save me money by reusing the old tailpipes from when I had the single chambers. I might have them tuck it up some more later. But, I've got a good feel on what I can and can't do with them right now, and haven't scraped them in a while.

Well got my Borla's temporarily installed for the sound test and I must say it is way better. Nice deep, smoother sound. Just have them slipped on and clamped, no turn downs and a lot less interior noise. Can finally get on it without it being obnoxiously loud. You can still hear it but so much smoother and refined. Still have to get them permanently installed and ran out the back so things should be even better after. Will post pics when it is all done.

Sorry for the delay. A lot of things have come up lately, and I haven't had time to get pics posted or anything. Haven't really been on here much lately, actually. Here's a few pics of the setup. The underside of the car isn't the prettiest though. 
As you can see, the mufflers could be tucked up a little better, and it will get done eventually, if I keep it. I'm more worried about getting the few issues with it figured out first, though, and getting it tuned.

The winner is Well tspence45 posts up pics of his TDs first.Good job ,good pics looks like your running a stock torque arm and a UMI lower panhard bar.Is the upper PHB stock or UMI.How much more do you think you can tuck the mufflers up? How much clearance do you have at the lowest point? Thanks again the pics really help.

My upper PHB is still stock. I think when I measured, the lowest spot is right around 2 5/8" or 2 3/4". I think they could still be tucked up about another inch or so. But, as long as I'm careful, I can usually keep them from scraping.
