SLP or Borla

billytheman1188 · 10-11-2006, 05:59 PM

Ok so i searched and nobody is giving any info i need.

First off i want to know which one sounds better? I hear people say Borla is too low....but can u still hear a nice sound????
Second with the SLP people say it sounds like ass after they have it for a while. I DONT WANT MY CAR TO SOUND LIKE A CIVIC, so should i just stick with borla??????

Will i notice a difference with the borla? i only have a CAI right now, but in about 2 months i plan on getting headers from S&S.

So is borla worth the money? and does it really sound that low that you can barely tell you have an aftermarket exhaust??? i want a nice low but noticeable(dont know if i spelt it right) exhaust.

Ok and i did look up the exhaust cut outs and i think i might have an idea of what to do, but i have a question, should i just put the exhaust(when i get it) up to the bumper so i can see where to make the cut????

Thanks a lot everyone for reading the long ass thread, and some of you are probably annoyed cause these questions are always askedlol

do a custom bent at a local shop with a flowmaster delta or super 40 or 80 if you want duals. Bout half the cost of either of the systems you named but just as effective.

ya, neither. do wut alerored04 said. you can also fit dual 40s at the right shop.

Well people say that the bends the shops make arent smooth in the inside, so it doesnt flow as well. I was thinkin about a local shop but then those people said that and i decided to go with borla or slp.

So if i do go to a local shop i should buy a high flow cat and bring that with me to the shop and tell them to put that on and take our the resinator. thats if people have some evidence that the bends are smooth from a local shoplol

mandrel bends are the equivalent of maybe 1hp. not worth the price IMO.

^
agreed

did the research myself came to the same thing. just get a local shop to custom bend the pipes man, save ya a shit load in the end, take the money you saved and spend it on other mods ^_^

billytheman1188 · 10-12-2006, 10:35 AM

Alright guys, thanks for the info, and lookin out for my money situation instead of just ignoring this thread and letting me spend about $400 more. So this means i wont have to get dual outlets right??? they will do just one pipe out the back..... how much HP can i look at gaining with the custom exhaust?

jackal2000 · 10-12-2006, 10:40 AM

depends on the size of the pipe you get...

billytheman1188 · 10-12-2006, 10:46 AM

Well what would u recommend??? is it 2.25 inch that everyone says??(or is that the stock size?)

jackal2000 · 10-12-2006, 11:01 AM

im running 2.25 (stock is 2 IIRC) right now but i might upgrade to 2.5 soon. i'll make it a point to get dyno numbers to show the difference between the 2. the only reason i have 2.25 is because the exhaust guy wouldnt go any bigger. now im in a different and found a better exhaust guy haha

billytheman1188 · 10-12-2006, 11:03 AM

So i should go with 2.5? now i know not to go bigger, cause if u go bigger u will lose something right??? lol i cant remember what people said, but i deff shouldnt go bigger than 2.5 right?

billytheman1188 · 10-12-2006, 11:04 AM

Oh and the exhaust from a shop around here will sound good right??? when i say good i mean a deep sound.
Cause my friend has a 98 sentra and got an exhaust made at the shop im thinkin about going to and it sounds like the typical ricerlol

jackal2000 · 10-12-2006, 11:07 AM

get a flowmaster 40. bigger than 2.5 and you lose power. our engines thrive from back pressure.

Satsuriku · 10-12-2006, 11:36 AM

2.5" should be the MAX you should go but you should also have that backed up with a CAI or WAI for better flow. over all, your MAYBE getting 7hp and with the CAI or WAI (opps, sorry just saw you already have one), possibly 10hp (correct me if im wrong guys, thats just based on the reseach ive done)

bnight04 · 10-12-2006, 12:09 PM

I have SLP because I didnt want to pay the extra for the borla. I love the way mine sounds and my CAI is coming today so it will sound even better.

But do what ^^they said get a flowmaster. 2.25 or 2.5

Satsuriku · 10-12-2006, 12:29 PM

even magnaflow will do just as nicely

alerored04 · 10-12-2006, 03:07 PM

depends how many more mods you plan on doing, i saw in your other thread that you want headers so i would do 2.5". Dont waste the money on a high flow cat right now, they can delete the resonator without installing a high flow. Also there are three ways to bend exhaust pipe, crush bent, which leaves the little ridges, press bent, which is smooth but ovals out around bends, and mandrel bent which is perfectly round and smooth around bends, the shop that did mine had a press bender, just ask what kind of bending the shop does. Press bent and mandrel bent are the same for all intensive purposes. And the sound of the exhaust depends on the motor and the muffler not the piping for the most part, your friends sentra sounds like rice cause it is, if you dont want that sound do like everyone said and get a flowmaster delta or super 40, those are single in and out so you would keep the same layout as stock. Or a delta 80 is a single in dual out for dual tips.
