Default Borlamouth guys cmon in please, couple??

Fed Ex dropped off my Borla XR1 today yaaahh so happy ... untill I opened the box How much quieter is this Borla going to make my car? It looks to me like there's a straight shot right through it, not too much " muffling " going on there. I know it will get rid of the rasp but will it help turn down the volume on the exhaust??? Also I don't see how it will fit in there without hitting the driveshaft. Any info or pics would be great

the loudness will still be there but only at wot. its got a good tone to it not sloppy like the lm. it definitely takes away 99.8% of the rasp. all in all a good mod. it won't rub the driveshaft either. i have had mine on for about 3 weeks now.

Because the XR-1 would hit the floorboard and not just a little bit! After the modifications I'll say that you cant even tell! It looks factory.

I just want one muffler after the ypipe dumped before the axle. Many do this with a bullet. Id like to do it with a borla. Would the floorboard still have to be tweaked? Hows the ground clearance & driveshaft clearance?
