Help with new Catback
Currently I have the B&B Triflow PRT catback. I really like the way it sounds at part and WOT, but the can not stand the drone at about 1400 rpms :rant: I have an x-pipe and was told that it should eliminate it, but no dice. I am looking for a nice aggressive loud catback. I have TTS LT headers, 'High Flow' cats, and an x-pipe. Currently I am looking at the following:
Borla XR-1
SLP Loudmouth
Corsa Z-Series Competition
Borla X4 Quad Tip Stringers
I would to get people's opinions on these. Most importantly, please let me know if the system has a drone problem.
Thanks,
Keith

Re: Help with new Catback (kromberg)
Aggressive and loud is an understatement for the XR-1 with headers and the Stingers are unreal with heads and headers. I hope you like LOUD because that is what you will get, especially with the XR-1. If I were you, I would ask if there is anyone in your area with a similar setup to yours with those catbacks that you could listen to. I like aggressive, but once I did my heads/cam and headers, my Stingers were unreal loud.

Re: Help with new Catback (QwikSilvr)
I have the quad tip stingers and they drone alot around 1400-2000. It was really bad when I first got them installed. They don't drone that bad or that often now (1 month). I hope it's not cause I've lost some of my hearing :D I'll be installing FLPs soon and well see how loud that gets. :thumbs:

Re: Help with new Catback (kromberg)
I was with a bunch of guys last night and one of them had the SLPs, they were LOUD, and were not a clean crisp sound, more of an old school uscle car, but not as nice. They all seem to like my Indys the best out of everyone's and almost all of the exhaust systems are represented with us. Other than the GLH, which I have heard wonderful things about...

Re: Help with new Catback (kromberg)
I'm a little partcial to the Ghl's also. I think they look and sound great. Sounds like a deep throaty growl and no resonance. There is a post in general discussion that has sound clips of the indys, stingers, prts, and ghls. You may have to search way back but it was there this past weekend. :flag
