Borla is costly.
Yes you will notice if you just swap the muffler. If you are like many of us you need it loud.

As with any company, it depends on the series you get. I have the ProXS series which is basically the Performance Turbo series but with lowered cost. They are specifically manufactured for exhaust shops to offer as a lower priced option but still retaining the performance qualities Borla features.

Above is a quick search & turned up this site. You can compare them to Flowmasters & the Borla pricing is less. They can be comparable to MagnaFlow or Gibson in terms of pricing.

Do you have dual cats or a y into a single in/single out? It doesn't hurt to stop by an exhaust shop & see what they recommend. This way you can ask questions, get pricing, dimensions, & ideas!
Mine is a dual cat set-up so I have 2 offset mufflers that dual out the back at 45* angle with tips.
sorry to jump off subject, but bai78...love the truck. I wasn't paying attention and I thought someone grabbed my signature to use.

Bowtie: Thanks for the compliment. I definitely envy that amazing 2 door along with those goodies in your sig!
HT383E, ProComp 6" springs, "lots of extras"
I suppose great set-ups can only be emulated & duplicated.
Ironically, I have some Magnaflow cats waiting to get swapped out along with some Doug Thorley ceramic coated headers.

I've used both magnalfow and flowmaster both are good.
But now I have a question, has anyone run a Dual 2.5" IN - SINGLE 3" OUT??
My dad gave me his '90 2500 with the same size motor 5.7L 350, when I graduated HS, but when I did the muffler in that it was a single 3" IN and dual 2.5" OUT, which I changed to 3" IN - 3" OUT (facotry look, no tip) ... This one is opposite that.
Any comments??

The only muffler I have seen with a dual 2.5 in/single 3 out is a FM 50 series. Otherwise you wold need a y-pipe and a single in/out muffler

I saw that on FM's website..... the 50 isn't loud right? Higher the # the less noise right? I'm looking for a decent sound without killing my ears!

I know the 50s are pretty quiet. but my cuz had a 40 series on his and swapped it out for a dynomax bc the FM was too loud for him. I think its all a matter of opinion of what you consider too loud to be, bc I think a 40 just fine.
