My current setup is a ProChamber and Borla Stingers, and it's just way too loud at cruise. It doesn't really "drone" that bad, the exhaust itself is just so loud that my friend says it actually shakes his gas pedal when he's in the car behind me. What mufflers do you guys recommend that I can get welded into my Borla catback (in place of the XR-1 mufflers) that will quiet it down? I want a straight through type muffler that is really quiet when cruising around. Ideas?
My car is too loud!

get the quieter borl'a or steeda's (they are the same). i went from a prochamber/stinger set up to a prochamber/steeda set up and am happy witht he results. these mufflers have the same agressive tone as the stingers but they are a lot quieter
Does anyone know which series Borla mufflers (Pro-XS, Turbo XL, etc) are in the 14858 catback?

Just call Borla. They can give you all the specifics. If you can find someone with a Borla 14858 CB or Steeda CB that is willing to trade for Stingers, all you have to swap out is the muffler section. Saves a little time, and hassle
Get Some SLP LM1s... hahaha j/k
That's a really good idea!427Windsorman said:Just call Borla. They can give you all the specifics. If you can find someone with a Borla 14858 CB or Steeda CB that is willing to trade for Stingers, all you have to swap out is the muffler section. Saves a little time, and hassle
...so you wanna trade?
Why not put a mac c/b on there? mines pretty quiet at idle & at cruise but at qot it's so damn loud. i promise you will like it more then borla lol.
I'm not a big fan of chambered mufflers on 4v's. I've heard that setup, and it's not really the sound I'm looking for. I love the tone and all of the characteristics of my exhaust (popping on decel, racey exotic sound, etc), but the volume really drives me nuts on long trips (i.e., 700+ miles in a weekend is not fun).03TrchRedCobra said:
I hear ya man. I think what makes mine appealing to me is having the Kooks on there. They made the car sound great. Is your pro chamber o/r or catted? Have you heard a catted mid pipe with the Stingers to see how you like it?
It's O/R. The only other midpipe I've run is the stock H, which sounded great. In fact, I'd be happy to have that volume level again, maybe even a little quieter than that. The only other midpipe I've heard was a Bassani O/R X with Stingers on a '01 and it sounded like shit.
I think before it's all said and done I may end up with a catted X and the quiet Borlas.

I like my quiet Borla too much, lol. It is awesome now with the stock mid-pipe, but I will soon have the MRT catted H on it, and that should be even better :-D
If you post in the classifieds about trading the stinger muffler section for the muffler section of the Borla 14858 or Steeda, I am willing to bet someone will be willing. Post on this site, and some of the other bid Modular sites
Good luck :beer:

I'm awaiting an email back from Borla, then depending which mufflers those are I might do just that. :banana:427Windsorman said:I like the my quiet Borla too much, lol. It is awesome now with the stock mid-pipe, but I will soon have the MRT catted H on it, and that should be even better :-D

i would imagine a catted x-pipe would sound great. i remember hearing your car again at mmp & it's sounded good.
Thanks. :thumbsup: I love the way it sounds, I just don't like having my teeth rattled loose.
No trade here, I like my Borla 14858 setup...quietly sneak up on some one then roar away agressivly...
I've got a 14858 that's too quiet if you're still looking to trade...
What did you expect with an O/R mid-pipe? Any time you run a mid-pipe without cats it gets really stupid loud. I have the catted prochamber and stingers and I think it sounds good.
