Default looking for more clips with the borla xr1

I am looking to see some more clips of the borlamouth. Prefferebly with headers, ory and a cam. There are only 2 on ls1sounds and they are not very good. I am trying to decide between going w/ hooker or something like the borlamouth. I was going to do true duals but I am not going to have the money, because I am going to do cme also. I want something that is as loud as my corsa was just with out the rasp. I am not a fan of dumps or I would save some money and go that way. After taking the corsa off I think the car will look a lot cleaner with the cme. Any help?

I don't have any clips, but I replaced a DynoMax bullet with the XR-1 and it was a great investment. It is still loud as fawk at WOT andsounds like a Pro Stock at idle with my cam, but all the rasp and most of the drone is gone.

Are you guys running them on a TD setup or just at the end of your Y pipes, I'm thinking about using them in a TD setup. I was just going to put one on the end of the Y pipe, but i figured that would get old and I would have wished I would had with duals. I'm just getting my car back together so I'm open for suggestions from the headers back.

You wouldnt happen to have a sound clip would you. I am trying to decide to do the borla xr1 or just get a hooker.

I had dual Borla XR-1's with dumps. I also had the Corsa setup. The Borlas are very deep and sound very good, not raspy like the Corsa on the same setup. Feel free to browse around.

It sounds good. I didnt think it would sound that good with the macs. I really like the tone.

How about a clip from inside the car driving around.

Wow that sounds really good. Better than the other clips on ls1sounds. I would also like to know about interior noise.

well, once my converter locks up it's not loud on the inside at all. it's definitely a BIG improvement over the dynomax bullet i used to have. It also got rid of about 75% of the rasp i used to have. granted, under lock-up and on the highway at 70mph I'm cruising at about 1700-1800rpm's with my 2.73's...
