Got my Borla muffler....

i<3mytitan · 08-11-2006, 11:15 PM

Hey everyone. I wanted to share my experience with Fantasy Muffler in buena park, Ca. I just got a Borla muffler integrated with my stock pipes (didn't have too much money, but wanted a nice sound) and I must say I am pleased with the results. The exhaust note is a nice, deep sound, but not too loud. I also went with a stainless steel tip. Additionally, it feels as if the truck is breathing better. With 325/60/20 tires on, it doesn't feel like its lagging as it did when i first got the tires. All in all, I'm pleased with the results. I'll post pics up in the morning

EDIT: I think I screwed up when i said "borla"...it's really a magnaflow. My brain and eyes weren't communicating when I typed this up

...so you went with Borla????

The muffler is only around 200, the whole system would have been around 700 bucks.

Sounds like a very reasonable price for sound, looks and slight performance improvements to me.

Glad to hear your happy with it.

Yes, I'm extremely happy with it. Although I know the gains (if any) are not going to be near the gains with a whole system, I feel that the muffler will suffice for now...(i have other plans besides a full cat-back exhaust at this time).

The difference is no more then 5 hp. That would be $100 per hp. You made a good choice.

$40 for a 3" chrome tip with installation and cutting off of the stock tip.

It would be great if you could also get a video/sound clip. I always thought the Borla had the best sound.

Well, here's a few pictures of my exhaust and 3" tip. Nothing special, but wanted to show everyone what other options are available. As soon as I have some more time, I'll be sure to add a soundclip to the exhaust sticky.

EDIT: again, it's a magnaflow, not a borla. I just owned myself....lol

I am thinking abou the same exhaust in the very neat future just to make this big V8 little louder

FlimFlamMan · 08-13-2006, 02:39 PM

Thanks for sharing the pic's.

Looks good. That's exactly what I'm looking to do, muffler swap with tip. Thanks for the pic's.
