Default Borlamouth??? Which Muffler?

I just got QTP LT's with cats on my SLP Loudmouth, it sounds pretty good, but my question is, would a borla xr-1 muffler add more tone to it and make it sound more refined? I know people say that the 5 inch tube one will work, but i was wondering about the 4 1/2 inch oval designed one, part #40944. Just curious what anyone else is using, searching didnt get me anything involving the part number i stated about, mainly everyone posted the 5 inch round one. Looking to get one sometime this weekend, so help would be much appreciated.

You want the 3" in/out round Borla XR-1. Part number is 40085 I believe.

I'm using the oval Borla XR-1 mufflers in my true dual setup. You could use one in your setup, but the clearance would suck.

There's a clip of a red T/A on www.ls1sounds.com with the Borlamouth, and it sounds awesome. It has a cam though.

good luck!

yeah, thats the one the one i was looking at is only 4 1/2 inches call, so thats only about a 1/4 inch bigger on top and bottom, so i should still have plenty of clearance, floorboard should have enough room too.

Yes.. your clearance will be fine with the XR-1. Be sure to post clips when you're done.

The Red T/A on ls1 sounds has the round Borla XR-1. Part number 40085. You can get it from either Summit, Jegs, or directly from Borla.
