Default Borla mouth

How much of a difference did you guys notice when switching to Borlamouth?
Was it about the same as far as loudness? I liked my setup until I got my new engine and now it sounds like ****! I have the lm1 w/pacesetter headers and an ory, and I want something else. The noise doesn't bother me its the crackling that I can't stand!

I got it, sounds badass. everyone has a clear differentiation of whats "loud." this is still loud, but it no longer sounds like a Nascar race car, and there is no popping or resonating. its a nice balance of loud, give the car a lot of character. i recommend it!

I wish I did, but my car is all hacked up and at my parents place. Essentially, the Borla XR-1 goes in place of the Loudmouth resonator. So have a welder measure and weld in the 3inch in diamter XR-1, and thats it. Just imagine a muffler in place of the resonator. Becareful he measures it correctly, because it can touch the chassis. If it does, just put some high temp tape in between there or bang in the muffler, or measure it right.
