Both of them look really nice. I prefer the silver one far and away. They're both dropped. Drive both and you'll find out if the 1K is worth having 10,000 less miles. Silver is my favourite colour for that car by far. Good luck!

Thats one of my fav. clips. You should do your whole exhaust like that. You will be like only the second person to do it. I got the borla stingers rite now and when my tax money comes in I'm either ordering Kooks or ARH longtubes + catted x. They are both the best brand you can get.

I think that setup is calling my name. I guess ill have to wait and see which car i get. What about mac, does that sound pretty good? Borla is really expensive, but you do get what you pay for.

Mac sound sweet also. That was my second choice if I didn't get my stingers. I went with borla because I love the way it sounds. Its also stainless steel so I never have to worry about it ever rusting and i will never have to worry about replacing it.

Edit: The borla catback also come in 2 pieces so it is very simple to install and quality is A+

Alright so now the choice is either borla stingers, borla xr1, or mac. Is their a borla cat-back that is the original? Like aren't the stingers a new model or am i wrong?

Borlas Catbacks are:

1. (quiet borlas)
http://www.lmperformance.com/7052/50.html

2. (stingers)
http://www.lmperformance.com/6945/50.html

The stingers are alot louder then the quiet borlas and the stingers are also cheaper. The XR-1 I believe are also just mufflers. So you would have to buy the mufflers and you can prob weld them into w/e aftermarket exhast is already on the 2 cars you posted. The website I listed is the cheapest place for borla exhaust.

Here is a link to the xr-1's I'm not sure which mufflers he had on the cobra thoe in the video.

The mac fitment is not great. I would just buy the borla xr-1 mufflers and have them welded into the aftermarket exhaust thats on both of them cobras. It will save you alot of money and will sound great!

I wonder if the xr1s would sound that mean without the long tubes and x pipe. I put long tubes in on my last mustang and boy was that a pain in the ***.
