Default any borla out there?

Time to change exhaust. Currently running 2 powersticks with no res. Gonna put 1 15" borla xr1 round or 16" oval where res was and straight pipe where muffs are now. Anyone with borla please post a vid. Cant find any vids other than one but quality blows so you cant tell.

You think oval would fit where resonator was or would i have to go round? 16" x 4 1/2" x 7 7/8 is the oval The round is only 5" so i know that will.

Ok so round borla was still $160 ha so i decided to go big and or i guess small and ordered a loudmouth 1 for half the price. I figure if gxp with muffler delete and factory res sounds good then same with slp res instead should sound better. Geuss ill find out soon enough.

Ok so the lm1 was on backorder so i ended up gettting the xr1. Had it installed today and sounds really great. Has some drone on slow accel but highway cruise has none. Has a really low rumble and sounds smooth through whole rpm range. Cant wait til it gets broke in should sound even better. Sounds much better than the powersticks i was running. All i have is my phone to record so ill try to get someone with a nice cam and take some vids.

I ran the Impala with just the resonator + the cat for about a year. Had kind of a sloppy sound and droned badly at highway speeds. It was loud and sounded pretty good from the outside, though.

Mu current setup of catless DP + 3" into Spintechs is by for the best setup I've heard on one of these cars.
