Re: Borla XR1 Owners (kromberg)
I'm not sure if it performs the exact same function of an X-pipe, but it goes in the same place - i.e. where the stock H-pipe is. If an X-pipe is supposed to reduce popping - I can definitely say the XR1 muffler doesn't do that.
It sounds great, you won't be disappointed with it. :)

Re: Borla XR1 Owners (kromberg)
So should I add an X-pipe too? Will it hurt if the exhaust system has two X-pipes?

Re: Borla XR1 Owners (DsC5)
you can't add an x-pipe too. the XR1 takes the same physical space. you could add the "off-road" x-pipe which takes out the cat(s), but then you would be getting deafeningly loud. :eek:
From the TTS LT headers, straight 2.5" pipe to one of these,
next to the Borla resignator, then to the Borla straight pipes out.
Anyone see any problems with this?

Re: Borla XR1 Owners (kromberg)

Clearing the two can not work together. But using the following one, I do not see why they could not work together:
header -> ------------------------------straight pipe --> small X-pipe -> Borla Resonator -> Out pipes

Re: Borla XR1 Owners (kromberg)
I had the Borla XR-1 system at one time and "YES", the resinator has an open center section between the two sides that does what an X-pipe does for other exhast systems. Actually, the resinator has more of an opening between the two sides than an X-pipe does. Each input pipe dumps into an open center section in the resinator, then exits through two separate pipes. You can see the make up of the resinator if you drop a small trouble light down one of the pipes and into the resinator.
