  • borla xr-1 muffler?

    i looked and i dont think i saw a sound clip about this but....

    i was wondering if anyone has the single in/out borla xr-1 muffler on their car.
    if i buy one i would be putting it in the ipipe and then dumping it right at the end of the muffler, right under the rear axle.
    could anyone describe what it would sound like?
    do you think it would sound ricey?

    you need a little more back pressure than that, i would reccomend you continue the pipes to the back and have a dual exit, kind of like how the TSP rumbler and loudmouth exhaust systems are set up. i havent heard a clip of the borla xr1 but i would be interested in it as well.

        The exhaust will prob droan inside the car more than if you had the pipes
        ran out the back of the car. Remeber, we drive v6's. They might sound
        decent at idle but once the rpm's start to climb it'll start sounding crappier.

        Don't worry about not having enough "backpressure".

        Go for it and then post a sound clip.....haha

          trust me, you will need more backpressure unless you want reversion. is it an m5 or a4?

                  hey hows your torque with that xr1, does it just make too much noise when you just berily press the gas like a half open cut out or is it good? thought about getting 1 but im worried about low end

                    torque is fine but if loudness is a problem for you dont bother, mayb it wouldnt be that bad but i have it dumped at the rear axel. The exhaust guys that did it were really surprised at how nice it sounded. all they work on is basicly v8 f-bodies and they told me it sounded like a v8, not as loud as a v8 but said that you couldnt tell it was a v6. Also it completly got rid of my rasp

                            Are you going to post a sound clip? I've been thinking of this set up but would love to hear it before i try it! (hopefully it sounds as good as you say)
