Sound Bytes And Pic Of Borla Turbo XL In Action

Here's a couple clips and a pic of a Borla Turbo XL muffler with tips retro ed into my Gibson system.

I like the sound allot better. It's more of what I was looking for. Not too loud but loud enough. Sounds like a truck should sound IMHO.

The drive by is under full throttle starting away from the recorder burning some rubber and then blowing by the recorder.

The startup is self explanatory. Enjoy...

Finnatic,

That sounds awesome!! I have a magnaflow custom dual and am happy with it, but it doesn't sound near as mean as yours. How is the drone at 2000 rpm?

Thanks mkirt,

There is no drone at 2000 rpm's. There does seem to be a little resonance around 1700 rpm's but when I switch the overdrive off it goes away. The rpm's seemed to stay about the same. This only occurs at 1700 rpm's when I'm going around 50 mph or so.

The resonance is very minimal and at every other rpm it's pretty much non-existent under normal throttle. WOT she barks though...

Gona see if the ECU notices any changes. Time will tell.

Glad to hear that. Thanks!! I know you have good taste in sonics with the B&B on the Z. I've heard a B&B on a Firebird and O Yeah!!
I wouldn't mind hearing one on a Titan.

I'm wondering if Basni, B&B and Borla are a little similar sounding to each other.

Each with their own characteristics of course but somewhat similar sounding overall.

Then again Beauty is In The Ear Of The Beholder...

Actually, Bassani, B&B, and Borla sound very different from each other. Out of those the B&B is the tamest sounding of the three, but much more exotic.

Great job on the exhaust!

Thanks for the differentiation. I'm sure they all sound great on the Endurance.

I sure hope to hear the B & B and Bassani soon on a Titan. I hope someone will post clips.

Hi smoketitan,

I had muffler envy to after I watched Cperki1's vid of the Borla.

Hence the hasty swap out.

There is a slight resonance at about 50-55 mph at around 1700 rpm's. All other speeds are normal. I wouldn't even call it drone IMO. Just the result of a badazz Borla. I have found that taking it out of overdrive takes away the resonance.

It's the perfect balance of sound for me. Not loud under normal throttle but very deep tone. Just loud enough under WOT. Not that obnoxious loud IMO.
