Default New Exhaust..Borla XR-1 (with pics and vids)

Well I got the Borla XR-1 and the Magnaflow Y-pipe on this afternoon. Took me about two hours, had a little trouble with fitment. I'm in love with it to say the least....much better tone than the Flowmaster and it absolutely screams at WOT. Wish I could compare HP numbers, but I can't! I didn't snap any pics of the old system, but I got a few of the new system. I also have two vids...one of the old and one of the new to compare. So here you go!

Hopefully I can go out tomorrow and get a better video...one during the day at least...and closer so that you can hear how deep it is. That vid really doesn't sound like it at all. Bummer! Oh and thanks truckin...I don't know if you remember helping me pick this one out or not, but I finally got around to gettin it done. Thanks for the help!

After Headers:

It sounds so much better with headers on

I wish I had the money to get headers...I'm broke as a joke right now! I'm still tryin to keep up with the payments for the truck! haha. Either way, I'm still in love with the way it sounds...and who knows...whenever I get the money to get headers I just might have to change it up again and see what true dual XR-1's will sound like!
