Borlas are well-made and a bit louder, but it's tough to beat the Magnaflow for all-around value. Even with money as no object, I would go for the Magnaflow (single-in/single-out) for the performance and use the savings for some other performance mod.

Forget price. They both fell from the sky and you can only fit one in your bed...which do you take ?

Folks, this is a TROLL! I had a debate with a guy on another forum (not vehicle related). I put my 3 year old Magnaflow system up against his brand new Borla system. His was shiney and new, but he showed NO dyno sheet for his. I showed the dyno sheet from Mangaflows site and he claims it is altered.

 

Honestly, I don't know, but his is looking for Borla fans from a GM site to throw in my face. He is looking for people to say that Borla is better than Mangaflow. It may be, but my aluminzed system cost a lot less than his stainless system with real gains. I claim "victory" by having the best gains for the buck while he is looking for "bling".

 

When you consider "bling", it is easy to beat out a 3 year old aluminzed system that has seen 3 winters of salt, but when comparing functionality and gains, along with sound, I feel my system was better than Borlas.

 

Anyone have any Borla dyno sheets? BTW, this guy has a newer Titan.

You won't find them for Borla unless they were done by an independent tester.

Not sure what a mfg. dyno test proves anyways other than their claimed HP/TQ gains that most independent tests don't validate.

Borla is more expensive but if Price Is No Object which would you take ? :banghead:

 

Would you take the Borla T304 Stainless Dual rear exit system which is made from superior materials or the Magnaflow which has a dyno showing double digit hp gains on their site?

My point exactly.

Both cat backs run similar pipes and cans. The difference is primarily in the materials used. A performance exhaust without induction upgrades is basically a nicer looking, better sounding fart box.

 

 

 

Agreed synergy only occurrs between the 2 mods w/ a custom dyno tune that marries everything together :banghead:

Gibson Should be Looked at :cheers: . I looked/compared for a while before I decided on Gibson Extreme Dual Exhaust Stainless Steel. Ok price, dyno sheet looked good and sounds good.

 

Either pick you choose it will be a hell of a lot better then stock. :seeya:

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
