Re: midpipe with Borla XR-1

If you are worried about noise with a midpipe then just get the Borla XR-1 welded in. Much quiter than the resonated midpipe I had. The 16" sportsman XR-1 fits right where the cat went. Looks as if it was made to go there.
I can attest to that too. I got a midpipe with a Magnaflow muffler welded in, all pre-done shipped to my door for $270 from www.vrsexhaust.com. I have a DP, that MP, and the RB Dual tip and it's barely louder than stock at idle and cruise but it screams nicely at WOT.

Don't you think that that is a little optimistic? I don't see a 300 rhwp FD trapping 113 on street tires, no way, no how. Maybe on slicks with Kan or Yallon driving.

Well i trapped 111.9 with 296.5 rwhp with my old set up.
I think SPOAUTOS (not sure if right spelling) Trapped 113 with a very simialr setup. Btw, slicks will actually reduce your mph.

I'd be willing to bet it's your turbos. They have a lot of miles on them, and are prolly getting tired. I have 93k miles on mine and am looking hard at the BNR stage 2s. I feel like my twins have lost some steam lately.

I am purely specualting here...but if his turbos are tired i am sure they wouldnt have produced 315 rwhp in 3rd gear.
