I think they would make the same hp. With the mods you have and slp your car would be super LOUD.

Keep the borla, it's probably the best exhaust system for any car. especially with LT's ORY, all you're gonna hear through the loud mouth 1 is RASP, obnoxious sound and more rasp.

If you are running the Borla with no plate then I don't think there would be any gains with the SLP. But thats just me.

i have the lm1 and im swapping out the resonator for a borl xr-1 racing muffler. lm1 with lt's and ory doesnt sound that great, and im a 19 yr old kid who loves loud noises and wouldnt listen to my dad, but he was right, it is very obnoxious.

WTF? Have you ever heard a loud mouth? Loud and obnoxious. I love my borla. It may not be the best sounding to some, but certainly better than the LM. As far as flow, with the fully open plate, I would say it flows better than the LM.
