Review: GREAT QUALITY, GREAT SOUND!!! - PERFECT!!! This muffler was the miracle I needed to quiet down my exhaust. Although, don't take that the wrong way as I was coming from the other end of the spectrum(exhaust way too LOUD...not like most who maybe install this for a deeper/throatier sound). Installed on 1998 A4 1.8T w/Big Turbo setup. Before installing this, I had started my build with making an exhaust the simplest way possible(straight pipe) and adding mufflers/resonators from there to quiet it down to the right level. 1st setup was 3" turbo back to a generic(Columbia River Mandrel Bends) muffler at the end...WAY too loud. 2nd setup was adding a Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator near the rear axle...WAY too loud(props to the Vibrant Ultra Quiet though as it did help a bit in muffling the noise a bit and taking out some of the drone...on a setup obviously needing more than just a small resonator. 3rd setup was adding a high flow cat to the mix...WAY too loud...I don't think it actually changed anything in anyway 4th setup....NOW I had decided I was once and for all going to fix this. Purchased two 3" silicone couplers, hacked off my generic muffler at the rear, and planned to gently couple the 4 different muffler I ordered to the exhaust to see which made the most difference...then I'd weld in the final solution. I started by coupling the Vibrant 1149 Streetpower Muffler. This made a pretty noted difference in that the tone at idle was a bit deeper and the reverb through the cabin while revving to 3k RPM's was improved by about 30%. I then attached the Borla 40944 XR-1 and now followed it directly with that Vibrant 1149 Streetpower Muffler. I started it up and was SHOCKED at the difference the Borla Muffler made. Mind you, the mock up was not as you'd usually attached these, being that they were plummer directly to one another with no piping in between. But I was so impressed with the 2 pieces that I removed my Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator and High Flow Cat and welded in the Borla XR-1 and the Vibrant Streetpower Muffler. I never even tried the 3 other muffler I had ordered to test with as the Borla XR-1 had quieted the exhaust so well that I knew there was nothing that could be better....AND it's a straight through design!! The Final Result: 3" turbo back to Borla 40944 XR-1 to Vibrant Streetpower Muffler The Sound: I feel that the Borla XR-1 is mostly to thank for fixing my terribly droany and overall LOUD exhaust....my car now has a smooth, low toned idle, the droan was reduced about 80-90% over the original setup, and the sound under full boost pulls is amazing!!
Review: Borla top notch - Sounds great. Good deep tone. Borla all the way
