Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? ran one on my car for some testing...
It sounded very sweet! Very deepend note, but much quieter than the dynomax bullet that it replaced.
If I ever put a muffler on mine thats what I will be getting.

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? I have used the same borla XR-1 3" in 3" out on my car with the twin turbos and now with the stock manifolds and no cats and it keeps that car quiet and sounds great with no rasp!

I'll try to remember and ask for sure, next time I'm up at MTI.

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? I have true duals, 3", with Dynomax bullets, and it's too damn loud with my 422ci.
I have been looking into a set of Borla XR1 mufflers, these ones:
http://www.borla.com/xr1.sportsman.oval.mufflers/
I know a local guy selling two used ones off a race car, center inlet/outlet 3". The mufflers have a lot less height than traditional muffler.
Is that what you tried PaiN?

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? I'm running the 3" in/out 5" round XR1 in place of the "resonator" on a Loudmouth. I think it has a pretty good tone to it. For those with duals a pair of the oval XR1s would probably clearance better and have a good sound.

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? another alternative to the XR-1 is still in the dynomax crowd except it is the welded ROUND muffler and not the bullet
that muffler actually MUFFLES....lol compared to the bullet and its only $60 compared to the stainless borla which is about double

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? Ragtop, the XR1's that I am getting look like regular mufflers... Just smaller and different internal design. I don't think you would want to put them in a ORP.

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? The LS1 Motorsports turbo car ran an XR1 for a while. At "CyberBrawl" it sounded awesome during Tech. Car has changed a bit since then, don't know what it's currently running. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? Ok big question for you all, I have the new Grot 1 7/8 headers with ORP, with a Loudmouth Exhaust, I was thinking of putting the XR-1 in place of the resonator, do you still think this setup would be too loud?? I'm majorly torn between doing that and just swapping out the whole system for a Hooker. Thanks all.

Re: Borla XR1 muffler?? Thanks for the reply Ragtop, I'm actually going to weld a Sportmans XR-1 muffler in the rear of the exhaust and swap out the resonator with a straight through pipe. I think this setup will be tolerable.
