Does anyone have mpegs or .wav files of the sound [idling, revving, etc.] of the Borla exhaust on a Disco or 4.0 RR? Thanks I went by a muffler shop today asking about a stainless steel muffler with more flow than the original for the Rover. He didn't have any in stock but could have them in a day...he then remembered a Borla he had put on a vehicle and taken off 4 months later (don't know the reason). He said he would replace my resonator with a straight pipe curved down at the end and replace the muffler with the Borla for $50 (its much shorter than the stock so will need an extra pipe up there too). The inlet and outlet are the same size. I was like, "umm, ok sure...what time tomorrow do you want it?" They have about 6 differant mufflers they want me to hear to see which sounds the best (just clamp it on and off until we find the best one). | ||

Please tell me you don't wanna spend all that money just to change the sound....that's what flowmaster people do. I can't really talk because I have a flowmaster, but my muffler rusted out and i proceeded to hack off the pipe extention past the end of the bumper they claimed "would make it a lot better sounding." I had the Flowmaster 40 Delta Series installed along w/ resonator removed for $150. It would've been cheaper at a typical muffler shop but I chose a customization shop that I know does quality work (which they did, except for making the tailpipe longer). | ||

Brad, refresh...I added to the original post, believe me, I am the last person in the world to spend $500 on the exhaust. | ||

I have the full NRP onmy 94- I don't regret anything about the quality or the sound, but the first time out after install, and I got hung up at Paragon and dented the pretty y-pipe, I had second doubts about something so expensive in such a relatively vulnerable place! | ||

New muffler for sound??? Now this query belongs with the post about performance enhancing by installing K&N air filters. | ||

I think sound is about all you really get - a deep growling, roar like sound on acceleration at low to mid speeds. Much louder than stock inside, especially in the back seat. I never felt any increase in torque or horsepower. | ||

The Borla muffler was installed and resonator cut off last week. I doubt there was much power increase but I think my gas mileage has improved and the check engine light went off (it had not gone off for 6 months and its now been nearly a week and hasn't come on since). Idling 6 feet away I'll post some off-road videos with it on tomorrow. | ||

mash it. | ||

Doesn't gas mileage typically decrease with increased airflow through the exhaust due to less back pressure? |
