2010 F150 - Borla XR-1 (Round #40085) Review and Impressions
#16
What a Debbie Downer
Anywho, I'm REALLY considering these Borlas dude. After this writeup, This is like everything I want in a muffler.
That exotic, AGGRESSIVE rumble from Magnapacks BUT, I want it all throughout the RPM range! Not loosing that deepness & loosing sound when me and the Chevy's are running on the Back Roads in Texas, I want that thing to roar!

There will always be similarities in exhaust notes, the difference is what you don't hear in the video (prob due to my camera phone). The sound is a lot smoother and consistent than the Magnaflow Magnapack though the entire rpm band.
Yeah, CA sucks. lol
It definitely roars. The tone is solid and consistent, I really like it.
Ahhh, dangit, I forgot!

Any drone noticable in the vids dissipates very quickly. A playback devices sound quality is limited to that of the recording device. Garbage in, garbage out...as they say. It doens't matter how good the playback device is if the sound it is playing was recorded poorly. I wish I had a high quality recorder so I could do some of these systems justice.
I know what you mean. I think it is just the Borla. The oval was similar in this regard. Very deep sounding.

Borla really is top dog for exhaust, hands down. Best sound, best performance, and best build quality. The sound is incredibly unique throughout the entire RPM range, I still get a ton of comments on it all the time and people asking me what exhaust I use.
Just so you know, it will get slightly louder after a few thousand miles.
Or different differential gears = different cruising RPMs.
Or different tire sizes. Heavy tires make the engine work harder.

Hmm I reckon you guys are right. I just wonder why mine is so quiet at cruising? My high flows should be here next week. Can't wait I'm tired of talking and thinking about it! It seems like now that I have the Magnapack, everyone starts talking up and down how awesome Borla is but dang $130 something dollars for one muffler? geez.

They are about $130. You might be thinking of the multicore.
Borla mufflers are 304 SS, have stainless packing material/ceramic (iirc), and have a 1 million mile warranty. The Borla round XR-1 is also larger so more materials are required tto produce it.
Thanks, Netwurker!
