So I finally got the Mufflex 3.5" cat-back w/Magnaflow muffler installed behind/after the Borla XR1; Drone is completely gone, and it's toned down a good notch, but still has a lot of bass to it! ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
I even got a compliment from a cop, he said he liked the deep, but mellow tone it has. I guess that's another plus to it.![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)

Nice, I was going to do something like that. I planned on a three inch system with a vibrant merge, round magnaflow in the I-pipe and an oval XR1 out back. It should sound similar to your system, maybe a little quieter. Any opinions?
Do you have a drive by clip to post?

If you're going with 3" then a 4"dia. Magnaflow #14419(14"case $78) should be good in the I-pipe, and in the rear I'd also consider a Magnaflow #11219(14"case $84) or#11249(18"case $93). With the 14" Magnaflow oval, or 16" oval Borla in the rear it should be about the same and a little quieter with the 18" oval Magnaflow.
Just a little FYI, I like the way the ends of Magnaflow cases are constructed/welded, and the lower cost, compared to the Borlas which don't seem to me to be any better than the Magnaflows. Yeah I have a Borla in my exhaust, but that's only because Magnaflow doesn't make a 5" dia. 3.5" in/out muffler. Don't get me wrong, Borla makes a really good muffler, but I think it's over priced. The oval Borla XR1 #40944 w/16" case is $140, which is at least $47 more than either of the oval Magnaflows I listed.
BTW, the last clip was just to let you'll know how it sounds inside the car with the drivers window all the way down.

It sounds great! How's the drone? I would think that having the tip extended only slightly more then my setup it probably doesn't drone as bad.

I can't wait to hear my setup...I'm going to get the 3.5" mufflex but put a Borla XR1 where you have the Magnaflow and no muffler in the I pipe for now, but that might change. Your car sounds great. Video makes it seem alot louder at the front of that car than at the rear

Again props on the exhaust it sounds very unique and the sound inside the car is great
