: Borla Exhaust - Clip

When I was shopping around for exhausts I looked for clips of various combinations and couldn't find much. So maybe this will be useful to someone.

This is a clip of my 3" exhaust with an X-pipe and Borla XR-1 mufflers turned down at the axle. On a smallblock Chevy with 1-3/4" headers.

Sounds great...sounds loud.

How would you compare it to the average Flowmaster? Any droning?

Thanks and nice car!

Jason,

This engine actually had a 3" Flowmaster exhaust on it in when it was in the Chevelle. The Flowmasters were about the same tone at idle, had more resonance while cruising, and were more raspy at wide open throttle. The Borlas definitely have a more refined muscle sound throughout the rpm range, which I prefer.

Thanks.
Jim

I agree, Jim needs to set the camera down and give us a few tromps on the loud peddle.

Still sounds good and lopey.

Okay fellas, will do. I'll do that tomorrow. I just replaced the Brodix valve covers with my Chevrolet cast covers and I need to pick up some bolts for them tomorrow to tighten them down first. :thumbsup:

Left brake light is out or camera angle maybe.

Is this the car that was for sale on racejunk? It has a really nice stance.

You saw that, did ya... The insert fell out of the housing and wasn't grounded. All is good now.

I really, really like it.

Do you have a part number? 40943 or 40944?

Thanks,

They are 40943. They are a better fit than 40944.

Can we see some good pics of the finished exhaust?

Do you plan on putting tailpipes on it in the future?

I'll take a couple pics of the exhaust tomorrow.

What, the turndowns aren't considered tailpipes? :D
