Z06Vette.com - Corvette Z06 Forum - Borla XR-1 exhaust system

XCESSIVE · 08-20-2006, 06:20 PM

Hey all, I've had the XR-1 system on my car since Friday, and have decided it's not the right system for me.

I paid $742 last Thursday. Anyone interested in the system, shipped in the factory packaging, for $642 shipped?

I have this system. And its def not for everyone.

Marginally quieter than a LS1 Camaro with cutouts. But only at WOT. At idle its liveable. But I'm sure the neighbors don't like it early in the morning.

WV, the sound is awesome, but I've got a problem with my overall setup. I've got Kooks LT's and high-flow cats, and the combination has set up a horrible resonance at 1900-2100 RPM.

The fit and finish of the system is outstanding, the sound is impressive, but the drone is too much. The drone is unique to my setup, as I bought the system after hearing it in another Z06 at a cruise in. There was no drone, just an ultra-impressive sound!

...Didnt realize the X-Pipe was part of it. Good deal
