Difference in sound between Dynomax Bullets and Borla XR-1s.
Difference in sound between Dynomax Bullets and Borla XR-1s. Ok I have TDs with Dynomax bullets and was getting a little tired of them so I bought some XR-1s that go in this Saturday. I bought them because everyone raves about how good they sound and how much better they are than Dynomaxes. Anyway do they really sound that much better? Or did I just waste $300 for these expensive *** mufflers?
You didn't waste money thats for sure. Expect the same volume at idle (or close to it), but a cleaner more defined sound. Under part throttle the XR1s will be MUCH smoother than the bullets. Under full throttle expect a nice tuned sound that just sounds really good, instead of the untuned chaos that are bullets. XR1s > bullets in every way if you can afford them.
Shoot tim99ws6 a PM, he just made the swap when I sold him a set of XR1s I was going to use to replace my Spiral Flows with. Neither of us could believe the difference. If I ever change mufflers it'll most likely be to XR1s.

I have the Borla Pro XS mufflers on my car. They sound amazing, much much cleaner than any bullet/dual set-up I've heard. The price tag for the XR-1's was a little high for my college student budget.
I think I got the Pro XS's for a little over 60 a piece.

Im hoping to get a more tinny sound with the XR-1s. My bullets are kind of deep but it doesnt have that trailered car sound, all the XR-1 cars I have heard do. Here are 2 videos, the first one is my car with bullets and the second one is a car that has XR-1s that Im hoping to get the same sound as.

I'm actually looking to remove my catted Y and LM and install a set of XR1's right off teh headers and dump them... any ideas as to how that will sound? I'm just hoping that it's not any louder then the catted Y and Lm was... not for my own distaste, but so I don't have cop issues. Never had one with the catted Y and LM, hopefully this will be toned down enough so it will continue to be that way.

Well thats good news. You just described exactly what I dont like about the bullets and what I want my exhaust to sound like. Hopefully Ill get the same metallic sound as he did, his car sounds awesome!!
