I'm trying to build my exhaust for my new 6.0 and need to design a system. The 6.0 will have cam and head work. I'm gonna run Pacesetter LT's for headers. I can't decide on pipe size. No cats. Borla XR1 straight thru or Hooker Aerochamber?

Thanks,
Rob

 

I would run 3" piping and I would run it through dual flowmaster super 40 mufflers....but if you are dead set on those two , then definitely the hooker aerochambers

 

The Borla will be LOUD, where as the Aerochamber will not be as much. Either way, they'll both sound good .

I have not had much luck with Flowmasters in the past. They sound like a tin can at times and they resonate really bad.

Thanks,
Rob

 

i hate my flow on my truck. i'm putting an aero chamber when i get back home. i think you'll be happy with the hooker
.

 

I think youd like the XR1. It will sound nice with no cats!

 

Hookers. They are fun.

The muff's sound good too.

 

Do you have any sound clips of the Borla. Or can you describe how it sounds.

 

I have a pair of Borlas w/o cats and Thorley LTs and it sound very nice. Nice deep powerful rumble plus the Borlas flow pretty good since they have a straight-thru design. Don't know about the Hookers design. Sound tempting too though.

 

It sounds kind of like this "rum rum rum rum rum rum vroom, vrooooooom, vroooooom!!! rum rum rum..." Sorry, I couldn't resist. In my limited experience, the XR1s have a fairly loud, but nice and deep sound. I think they sound great, but highway resonance could be annoying if you travel in your truck.
