question about borlamouth? dimension for cutting up LM?
Ok, I have heard the clips on ls1sounds (are there any more sound clips other than the one that is on there?) and am going to get the Borla XR-1 #40085 muffler for my loudmouth. This is going to be after or about the same time as my flp headers. But here are my questions.
-are there any clearance issues as the muffler is an inch larger in diameter than the 4 inch expansion chamber?
-Where will I cut the expansion chamber off at? Basically how far past the welds for the expansion chamber should I cut on each side?
-How does it fit on the 3 inch pipes? will they slide into the muffler or the muffler onto the pipes? Probably the later as that makes more sense but I want to make sure

Some more stuff that i have read leads me to believe that the xr1 does cut down on "some" of the rasp and drone, but it still sounds like ***? is this true? SHould I just bite the bullet (no pun intended) and save for headers & gmmg purchase? I always wanted the gmmg, but couldnt muster up the ***** to spend that much on an exhaust. My car is a daily driver and I cant afford to be pulled over. Should I just dish out the cash for the gmmg?

How is the fitment? was it hard to get on? and could you possibly get a sound clip? I dont care if its loud, its the obnoxiuos rasp and unrefined sound that I hate and would get me into trouble. How does it compare to the loudmouth on stock manifolds? (because I love that)
How does it compare to the xr1 sound clip on ls1sounds.com...b/c that has a cam.
