Today I had my mid-muffler removed and replaced with a straight pipe. I am fairly happy with the sound, however I am considering replacing the OEM rear mufflers with stainless steel Borla mufflers.

Does anyone else have Borla, or simmilar mufflers on their 3rd gen TL with stock piping?

Any help would be huge.

Conor

Also, what size and model Borla mufflers will fit?

Yeah, I had a stage 3 setup (Dynomax resonator in place of OEM resonator and mid muffler delete) and I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Alot of people are getting the Magnaflow #14362 mufflers but I wanted to see the other options available.

Here is what I can tell you about Borla...

I installed a Borla kit on my '95 T-Bird back in 1996. To this day, you can take steel wool to the T-304 Stainless Steel and it comes right back to NEW. The sound is great, but hey it's a V-8.

I HIGHLY recommend Borla products.

i'm running borlas on my CL-S, very unique sound, and as mentioned prior, the quality is superb.

i'm not sure why people post sound clips of their cars in park/neutral and rev it. that will not give an accurate sound because the car has no load on it.

Would you guys just do the borla mufflers and keep the stock tips? or would you guys buys the boomer mufflers with the tips already on them?

i had a cat-back borla setup on my RSX type-s, and i loved it. i got a lot of compliments on how it sounded, and yeah... it's a very good quality product.

No! DO NOT get the boomers!

so just replace the OEM mufflers with borla's and use the stock tips? i also have a stage 3 (dynomax res and mid muffler delete) and wanted to get rid of those restrictive stock mufflers

..and also which one should i get for my 05 AT TL? Borla Turbo Muffler, XR-1 Oval Racing Muffler, or Boomer?

^ - Its been a while since I've used a borla product. I'm assuming you are looking at their website - is there any indication on estimated decibel levels? Or, are the dimensions of the mufflers significantly different?

PeteThaPitbull

well if you go on there website they have a sound clip of what a sport compact, muscle, SUV/truck sounds like with there products..i want it to sound like the sport compact one..when u go on there site it says Hear it now and u click it ..ull see it when u go to the site (www.borla.com)

PeteThaPitbull

..it sounds very similiar to the comptech and "supposedly frees up some power" but its user friendly to my pockets as there not as expensive.. i just want to get rid of those stock OEM mufflers since 1. the coating is peeling off and from behind the car it looks stupid and 2. there restrictive and dont give off any sound.. how do u think it would sound with a stage 3? i have the dynomax res and pre-muff removed and wanted to put on borla's with the stock tips..any suggestions?..and also dont know which borla's as they have a big selection..?

im going to do a full custom catback exhaust for borla. what u guys think ? i think it would sound good. quad tips :o

i run a full 2.5" catback. i'm running 2 borla xr-1 racing bullet mufflers as resonators, a magnaflow y-pipe, and 2 borla turbo mufflers. it sounds awesome, i love it, but it does drone a bit. i dont care because the acura is my second car and i use my truck for commuting.

as long as you are running smaller piping, the sound levels should be fine, if i had went 2.25" for the mufflers, it probably would have no drone at all. if you can fit the turbo XL mufflers under there, that will def eliminate any drone at all, but there was no room under my CL for them to attach to the y-pipe.

Good idea. On the Borla website, they have a system for a '04 Honda Accord. That may be a good starting point to build your custom exhaust system. I'll be anxious to see and hear your completed Borla exhaust.

PeteThaPitbull

do u think it would sound good if i added on the turbo borla mufflers? so far i have a dynomax resonator and mid-muffler deleted with OEM mufflers
