Fair enough Dan....I will go along with your opinion and theory on the Borla differences.I do agree the one style i heard were louder than the other style ones.next time someone wants a set of the Borla mufflers for their car (the louder ones) as you say, They may want to ask borla (or the dealer) they are getting them from if the louder ones incorporate Borla's XR1-racing muffler technology?..This could explain the sound difference between the two systems as the cores of the XR1 style mufflers is completely different than their standard straight thru ones...just a thought..OH,I FORGOT I gave up because i don't know anything and i should not have given this information because you guys know more...oops

Just kidding
Haha.......where are you at? I'll come give you a hug

Well, if nothing else this is a confusing, yet somewhat interesting discussion.

I have no further comments. I'm just gonna sit back and watch the show, and hope that my FRPP system does not sound like crap when it arrives Friday.

No one is saying that you don't know anything...some are disagreeing and apparently you can't accept that we are disagreeing?

I agree we disagree and this is why I gave up on the Borla thread.If we all agreed on everything this board would be no fun.I can accept that..I need a hug

jlb-the quiet ones will be oval canisters, the loud will be round. Never even heard of the A type until today. I know because they shipped me the Q by mistake.

I kinda laugh at 'loudmouths' in the respect that...
Are they not just basically a muffler delete kit?
It's the "KISS" principle at it's finest . . .

I went to Borla's web-site to view the S-type...I see what you're saying, Jewls, about the round v. oval canisters. The frpp website uses a lot of generic pics and it shows an oval canister (same pic for gt and gtq) We'll see...I'd hate for the UPS man to take a beating for frpp...har! har! har!

My FRPP Exhaust kit came in this evening!..along with my tower strut brace. Part # M-5230-5GT and they are indeed the round ones like SixtySix's and look nothing like the picture on the Ford Racing Website. (Round = Loud! )

I can't wait to slap these bad boys on...unfortunately, I've gotta wait until Hurricane Ophelia clears out my area. I'm gonna try to do my best to do a before and after video clip. Maybe I'll skip church on Sunday to do it....

just kidding ....I'm a good boy...until I get behind the wheel.

I ordered them 2-1/2 weeks ago from JohnBleakleyFord.com - Wayne is a great guy to deal with All that's left is for my FRPP CAI kit to come in next

Ordered my CAI from Wayne too. Bummer that it's back ordered until 12/31, but he let me know as the same day I placed the order and gave me the chance to cancel...I'm waiting. Sounds like we're on the same page with our initial mods.
