Deciding on a muffler for the Cosmo POS :)
I think I have decided on a Borla Xr-1 Race muffler, 3" in, 3 inch out, all stainless for $159 Anyone else have experience with something else?

I don't know about the Borla. I haven't heard it.
On turbo rotaries, I have heard both
Dynomax and Magnaflow. The Dynomax was very quiet, the Magnaflow sounded sportier.
I will be using a Magnaflow, similar to MoreMazda's exhaust in his recent thread.

well, it shouldn't be that loud, should it? i mean, are you planning to use some sort of presilencer? i know that the turbo will muffler a lot of the sound, but i'm just not sure if it will be enough so that it will be "street-friendly", you know? 
and i think Borlas are pretty good, especially the XR1 line ... my friend uses it on his Corolla (with an REW in it).

Nonononononono... that is LOUD 
And i mean redefining loud. I built an exhaust using just one of them 'muffler' thingies from Borla (), and it's LOUD. It sets off car alarms at IDLE, and gets MUCH louder than that when you step on it! This is on a 1990 TII with (at the moment) a stock turbo. I have some sound files here in case you're interested in how it sounds...
