Well, I have a crack in my magnaflow, and I'm gonna replace it. My question is should I go with Gibson, or borla? I already have a 2.5" cat-back that exits behind each rear tire. I want to get one that sounds at least as loud and deep as mine does now. FLOWMASTER IS NOT AN OPTION!!! THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME!!

 

I think youd be happy with either. Gibson has a little bit quieter sound than Borla, but still nice when you step on it. Borla is similar, just a little louder.

 

gibson is only 5-8db louder then stock... its not ment for noise but for most hp possible

 

borla...

 

hands down Borla, but it's going to cost you

 

Were you not happy with the Magnaflow? I've never heard a Borla in person, sound clip anyone? Also, Detroit, got any pics of your truck?

 

borla

 

borla any day

 

Actually, the borla is only gonna cost me $150 installed. the gibson is $130 and the exact replacement Magnaflow I have would be $185. I am very happy with the magnaflow, but I can't see spending $35 more than a borla for one. I love the Borla on my Stang, but I've never heard it on a ranger.

 

Flowmasters do not all sound the same...

 

Ya flowmasters sound tinny and like s*it theres so many rangers around here with Flowmaster and compared to my Magnaflow and my buddys Borla the Flowmaster just makes an annoying amout of noise, not to mention i havnt heard a Flowmaster on a 3.0 or 4.0 that actually gets the headline of sounding....well a meer "good"

I 100% support ur decision on that one Detriot!

 

Ha Ha, sorry to bring up an old thread, I wanted to see that I could post pics correctly.

 

Well if you put a 100 gibson's or borla's on a ranger there all gonna sound the same.

 

Flowmaster's sound the same regardless of vehicle. 4 banger's all sound alike. 6 cyls all sound like each other and most V-8's sound like each other too! The only cars I've ever heard sound different is a mustang and camaro. And that's only because the mustang has true dual exhaust, not a y pipe that goes to a muffler with 2 outlets! like the Camaro.

 

So what did you end up going with? I have borla on my 3.0 and I love the sound. Its a low mellow sound until you get on it. Just cruising down the highway I can barely hear it.

 

What? Flowmasters are NOT the same. I made the mistake of having a 70 series installed. Really mellow, but it kept hitting my driveshaft. So I changed it with a 40 series...and it was much louder and sounded like a v-8.

 

I ended up going with a borla XR1, so it's anything but a mellow sound, but it sounds bada$$ to me, and I've gotten many compliments now on how awesome it sounds, and not to be a smarta$$ james, but most people run the 40 series mufflers, so yeah most of them do all sound the same.

 

Yeah I think mine was the borla xs. Sounds bad *** to me though!!

 

Hey do you have any sound clips of your truck? I'd like to hear how it sounds on the 3.0L

 

I will try to get some of mine this weekend.

 

^sweet man, im actually thinkin about trying out a Pro XS sometime soon, if it sounds good that is

 

Here you go. As promised....
