Help me pick an exhaust!

det_riot · Apr 10, 2012

As some of you know I picked up SVO side skirts a while ago and once they're painted, I'll be redoing my whole exhaust set up. Currently my plan is to keep everything I have, aside from going to a custom midpipe-back, welding the mufflers on right after the X-pipe, and then one 90* bend to the side.
I've narrowed down to the borla XR1 and the borla XS (stingers), but I cant decide what I prefer more. Coming from flowmasters, there isn't much that could drone more than those but with it being a side exhaust, I am slightly concerned with drone becoming a problem since it will be right outside of my window.
Here's some clips of both:

XR1's:

If anyone has any experience running either of the exhausts on a pushrod, please give me some input here!

The XR1's sounds a bit better imo

The sound will differ depending on what mid pipe you are running and long or short tube headers. The XPS mufflers from borla are nice as well.

Stingers if you are going with longtubes.
And XR1's if you are going with shorties.

i wish i had a video of my stingers.

You got a fancy pancreatic iPhone, take one

And mid- pipe will be an xpipe, headers are currently Shorties but will be upgrading to long tubes this year

95riosnake has stingers on his car. it sounds badass but it is very loud. i run bbk longtubes through a dr. gas x into dynamax race bullets. They are quieter than the stingers but will scream when you get on it.

Either of those will be pretty loud if your windows are down and you're on the throttle, I have the SVO Borla side exhaust which I'm guessing is quieter than both of those and it's enough to make my ears ring when you step on it. During normal cruising though its very tolerable, not sure the stingers will ever be that quiet though.

Make sure whatever u get u do it right the first time or u will regret it like I did when I did mine the first time

I'd get something on the quiet side. The dynomax super turbo's i'm running sound wimpy.. until you romp on it, and when it's out the side it's plenty lol. A muffler that's loud out the back will be obnoxious out the side.
