Borlamouth? So I think I'm finally beginning to get tired of my Loudmouth 1 with just a resonator, it gets very loud with a good bit of drone at highway speeds. I had heard that some people will keep the cat-back but switch to a Borla muffler, and call it the Borlamouth.
Anyone have any experience with this and possibly some videos or sound clips to post?
I have already searched youtube and only found two videos on there, I would like to see more before I make a decision. Thanks.

DO IT! You will not regret it. I ran a LM1 for about a year till I just couldnt take it any more. I bought a used Borla xr-1 muffler from the classifieds a few months back in anticipation of my cam swap/ exhaust build in a few months, but decided to go ahead and throw the muffler on cause I was going crazy with the LM. I have loved every minute of it.
From a volume stand point its not much quieter but it just sounds so much better. Its a deeper/throatier sound throughout the rpm band. My favorite part about it is that it is quieter when cruising ~65mph so I can actually have a conversation on the highway. no rasp, even after cold starts. Sounds much more refined than the 'trashy' sound (for lack of a better word) of the LM
Here is a driveby video I have on my laptop (i apologize its not the best video , but its all i have at the moment).. I have 2 nearly identical videos on my other pc: one with the LM and the other with the borla (taken with the same camera, cold start idle+revs, before and after I installed it), but unfortunately I wont be @ that computer for a couple weeks.

I cant stress it enough, do it and dont look back! Should be able to find a used xr1 for $80-100ish.

I have been through practically all the major exhausts and sounds with the current and my past cars for f bods .
I currently have a borlamouth on my 98 (borla xr1) with mid bolt ons and tuned (LTs ORY,no cats, straight piped to the borla and put where the muffler is supposed to be) so the borla letters show under the car to a single exhuast dumped after the driver side tire. The system i welded sounds great i dont think i will change it on this particular car .
As for head and cammed cars i still think there will be rasp like the Loud mouths have with this set up, but for a car that puts down 350 to the tires and the wife drives i think 's perfect for the set up
here is a shitty pic im overseas playing baseball but i have this saved

My borla xr1 resonator hangs low because the size of the casing and with my car lowered with the eibach pro kit it hangs lower than normal. Anyone have the same issue? Any suggestions on fixing this issue besides getting a new resonator.
