Sidewayz Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Sorry for the last minute question. I have an appointment to get a muffler installed on my 2015 Silverado 5.3. I have 2 mufflers to choose from one is a Borla PRO XS (40348) and the other is a Dynomax VT. Trying to decide what will sound better. Any help is appreciated!
Sidewayz Posted July 23, 2016 Author Posted July 23, 2016 So after looking at a video on youtube I'm leaning towards the Borla. Hmmmmmmmm...
Sidewayz Posted July 23, 2016 Author Posted July 23, 2016 Just realized the Borla is a dual outlet... Thats not good. That will mean more $$ and pipe. Hmmmmmm Now considering ordering another Borla Muffler thats correct single outlet and installing it. May add the Dynomax though in the meantime since I already have it.
Sidewayz Posted July 23, 2016 Author Posted July 23, 2016 Guess it doesn't matter when a member here sells you something that doesn't fit. No new exhaust for me today. Pretty sad when you ask someone if the fitment is correct and they lie and say yes to offload something they probably bought wrong. Guy at the shop said won't work and buy the right one. ( never tried to sell me anything ). Thats what I get for trusting someone without double checking fitment.
muddkatt Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Your post has me kinda confused. The Borla muffler will work, but you will have to run 2 tail pipes. I take it that you actually have 2 mufflers in your possession and was wanting opinions on which one to install.

Should just buy a catback and call it a day
TXTruk15 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I say find out what they fit, sell them, and get a magnaflow or flowmaster that will definitely fit
AZ_SS Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Lose the resonator and replace the stock muffler with a Borla XR1, I love the way mine sounds.
Bvonscott Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 How would they not fit. That makes no sense. You just weld it in there isn't any fitting to be done. Are you talking about exhaust size diameter? Because that doesn't matter much either if the size is close.

Are you talking about exhaust size diameter? Because that doesn't matter much either if the size is close. The offset is backwards so the muffler cannot fit in the same spot. The offset pushes the muffle over to the side where there is no open space.. Going to do like stated above just sell both and buy a full system. Serves me right thinking I could save a few bucks..lol
Bvonscott Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Ohhhhhh. Ya I always buy my mufflers with the correct part numbers to make sure its the right one. Doesn't matter to me anymore though I don't use the muffler I have an electric cutout that I just leave open
thomassprivette Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Dynomax sounds good Sent from my LGL82VL using Tapatalk
fensty245 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Lose the resonator and replace the stock muffler with a Borla XR1, I love the way mine sounds. AZ_SS, how is the drone? I was thinking of doing this but Ill be towing a camper and don't want to have migraines from annoying drone.
AZ_SS Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I have no drone at all. You can tell when it goes into V4 mode now, since you can actually hear the motor. That doesn't bother me at all, plus i will be tuning that out in the future anyways.
