Default In light of the early post, my next project is gonna be to rid my Borla sandblaster sound..questions

OK, i hate this sound. It was OK at first but now its pissing me off. From everything ive read the problem is in hte Y pipe. I really like the duel tips thought. I was wondering, if i bought a different (non borla) Y pipe with tips, if that would possibly work. I know the issue is with the Y pipe, but could this be fixed with just a different Y pipe? Gimmie some suggestions. Also, where is a site that sells QUALITY tips?? Ive found many sites that sell tips.. just not good ones.....

Thx

Nate

Default these are your options:

1) Replace the borla muffler/tips entirely with anohther muffler. Supsprint, Remus, Scorpion, etc.

2) Return the borla muffler/tips in exchange for another borla muffler/tips. Do this until you get one that doesn't have the sound.

3) Stuff 1 of the pipes in your current Borla, which may stop the sound, but messes with the flow.

Default i have a single in single out muffler that goes into a ypipe

i get none of that noise. its a custom exhaust tho. i realize its not a borla...but if the diameter of the ypipe is adequate for the flow, then i don't think you should have any problems with the noise. i have some generic tips that i told the guy to throw on when i got the exhaust bent...so there isn't really any brand i could recommend. maybe try nopi? hope this helps a bit.
