Default 3 1/2 Borla XR1 Race Mufflers or 3 1/2 DynoMax 16 length Bullets

Which one do you think are going to have less drone & sound deeper. I want a muffler that I can hear my cam more since I have a 115 Lobe Sep on my cam.

I am upgrading to a 3 1/2 inch X-Pipe, My current set up is a TSP 3inch X-Pipe with Bullets, The car is just plain LOUD. Then it has drone really bad at 2400 rpms when on the highway.

So which muffler will give me that deep tone. I had One Chamber Flow Masters on it. But the mufflers kept bottoming out & had to go back to the Bullets.

Your going to have alot drone with it dumping before the axle. My buddy has the same set up an I hate how loud it is. Ever thought about rear exiting exhaust? Just a thought.

I am really thinking about it. But I have heard rumors that the Borla XR1 mufflers have no drone?

My setup now makes my head hurt.

We have installed a Borlas on a few cars, and they are by far one of the best sounding mufflers. Dumping before the axle, you will almost always have some drone, but I can guarantee that the Dynomax bullets will be insanely loud and obnoxious. The Borlas will have a better tone, be a lot quieter at cruise/idle, have virtually no rasp, and will scream when you floor it. We have sold a LOT of the Borla mufflers, and all I have heard is praise for them, not a single complaint yet.

We also sell the 3.5" in/out round Borlas for $124 each, and have two instock right now.

I have a single Borla after my turbo, exiting at the bumper. Still too loud for my taste (I prefer stock) but no drone and no rasp.

Anyone have a sound clip of their (preferably cammed) LS1 with dual XR-1s? Also prefer if they are run out the back, but any clip will do.

How loud are they compared to a LT/ORY/Magnaflow setup? I'd probably go catted with the duals.
