Default borla pro xs or magnaflow?

i already know which hi flows i wanna put on, but i need opinions on which muffler yall like more. i like the pro xs cuz its so deep and i think it would sould mean with some hi flows, but its so expensive. the magnaflows i want arent as deep as the pro xs but much less expensive

here are some vids of the mufflers

borla pro xs, would that not sound amazing with some hi flows?

Both are straight through mufflers and will provide a pretty deep tone. The Borla is higher quality t304 stainless versus the magnaflow's 409 stainless. Neither will rust through but the maggy will develop surface rust (look ugly) while the aircraft grade Borla 304 stainless will remain shiny its whole life.

If you are going to dish out the cash for Borla (which I recommend) and want the mean tone, go with the XR1 muffler.

I have a Borla cat back 3" stainless kit, and a little dissatisfied with how quiet it is, although it sounds amazing wot! I would do a custom setup with a x pipe and some high end mufflers and 3" pipe

If you do end up going with that one could you post a video? I can't seem to find anyone else who has that exact setup.
I have a borla x-r1 catback with bbk shortys and x-pipe on my 91 5.0 and it is way too loud for what I want on my truck. Borla makes great mufflers

yes high flow cats, and you need two, now my 06' only has two cats from the factory, if you have four cats on your truck. you can take off the two catylatic converters that dont have sensors in them and it wont throw a code, now i would take off all four cats and slap on two hi flows. it will save you money and make it louder

I'm a fan of aeroturbine, I've gotten more complements and looks with the setup.
