Default Borla XR1 opinions
Just want to get a general idea of what some first hand experience is like. How does it compare to the B&B Bullet? I am looking for loud just not a ridiculous amount of resonance.

I started with B&B PRTs and upgraded to the Borla XR-1. Borla's are twice as loud as the PRT at WOT, a bit louder under part throttle, and about the same at idle.

It is Borla's race exhaust need I say any more? It is for getting her done in a loud way! My Z16 is perfect with the XR-1 twin tips installed!
