Borla or Magnaflow

[S3c70r]

Looking for a 3" exhaust to complete my turbo setup.

Cant decide if I go Single Magnaflow TruBendz fartcan or Borla Dual exit with tips...

Any suggestions ?

[02coug]

why would you even ask about a fart can over a borla?:facepalm:

I have a dual SS borla and wouldnt do anything different!

[wadespencer99]

None of the Trubendz kit use a fartcan :confused:

No matter whether you go single or dual exit, it still uses a center muffler.

Idk, the 2 are pretty close...

I've always thought this tho...


Borla has a very throaty and low sound to it.

Magnaflow just reminds me of a rally car...lol

[rjnredxr7]

Im using a magnaflow setup and I love it.not to loud nice sound a little throaty

[Blackcoog]

Use both like I do. lol

I have a magnaflow main muffler and two borla resonators. :)

I have the opposite Borla center muffler, Magnaflow rear resonators and tips. ;)

I used to have MagnaFlow Center, MagnaFlow High flow Cat and Resonator and loved it. Only reason I changed was because I went to a Tru-Bendz Stainless Steel system.

Sure they do. Take a look at their web site.

I dont really like those mustang style SS tips...

Trubendz doesnt seem to have a selection of tips.. Ill have to call them and find out.

Actually I believe the Weapon R is the only one kit is the only one with fartcans. Yes, Trubendz does have different tips available, but you should call or ask.

Does this really belong in forced induction. We need to have a section call Newb Perfomance Mods where newbies can ask all of their questions about intakes and exhausts.

I think he wants to know because of his turbo set-up and He's been around since 2005 so I wouldn't call him a newb. ;)

You beleive ? not enought .. Trubendz is not selling any Weapon-R fartcans on their website anymore ... they have replaced it with Magnaflow.

I even took the time to provide you the link because I feel nice right now.

Thanks for being soooo nice, that is really going to help me the next time I go to buy an exhaust. :rolleyes:

Regardless if he has a turbo or if he has been around since 2005 asking a question about which brand muffler or tips is a very newbish questions.

[CougarTech]

Borla FTW. I bought the Borla dual exit in April and have never regretted the choice of mufflers. Although the MSDS headers and Y-pipe with Trubendz test pipe w/cat do compliment it a bit. :)

Sounds like a V8... Not really true to the real exhaust tone..:
