Default Borla XR1's finally on (vid)

Finally got rid of the open Y and had my x pipe and xr1's put on.

Car has SLP LT's and no cats. I'm still trying to make my mind up as to whether or not I like it.

I know I'll like it once I get my cam in.

I would like to see pics of the underside. Im curious how you fit borlas under there with any ground clearance left.

Sounds good by the way.

Clearance isnt great, but I'm used to it since I run SLP headers anyway.

The guy that mounted the x pipe for me actually tucked it better than my y pipe was.

Tomorrow during the day I'll get some pics from the side, and thanks for the compliments.

Wow, that sounds awesome.

I'd like to get an XR1 at some point for my LM.

That sounds ****** amazing man, so nice and smooth at low rpms and idle yet screams at WOT, and with the cam it will only sound better! What sized cam you going with?

Sounds awesome bro. Not too loud at idle which is what I need. Might have to rethink the sweet thunders and go with those borlas.

Sounds awesome! I guess when it comes to mufflers, you get what you pay for. Damn those things hang low.

It sounds great I think. If you decide to unload them I might be interested if they are 3" straight through.

The clearance kind of sucks, but that's part of owning an F-Body.

I have the BorlaMouth set up and love it. You made a great choice with the XR-1s...

That exhaust is on the ground.. is your car lowered at all? No way could I live with that.. I couldnt' even make it up my own driveway if my car was that close.
