Default SLP / BorlaMouth

When I bought my Trans Am it had a Borla XR-1 muffler on a SLP exhaust system and I was wondering if I buy a LM1 muffler will I have to do any work to get it to fit or should it be the same size and fit right in place???

Well, if it is an SLP catback the LM1 resonator (its not a muffler) was made for it, so it should fit no problem. But if whoever owned it first hacked it up, then thats another story.

if the borla muffler is welded in then you will have to cut it and either weld in the slp resonator or see if you can cut the right amount to just bolt in the resonator....but if it isn't welded in then it should just be a bolt in and drive

Why in the world do you want to go back to the LM1 resonator. The Borla flows as much and the sound is much more refined and just as loud! Ask my neighbors. My .02

I've heard sound clips of the borla mouth and i liked the tone but always wondered if it was gonna be just as loud.
