and wheres a good place to buy stage 8 header bolts. Ive seen a lot of off brand places.
They go by lengths like Magnaflows, and the Sportsman model is baffled better so you will get a better tone from it.

Check out Fastenal or other hardware stores local.

for the borla maybe look into part number 40941, 2.5" in and out...size of case is 12" x 4 1/2" x 7 7/8" and its oval. I have the 3" version in the same size case which is soon to be joined by another..

I think I might end up trying the Borla PRO XS. I think they are a little quieter, but I'm not running cats either, so it might be a good set up for me.

Must be tired of the Flowmaster tone?

Make sure ya go with the smallest body XS and you should be happy

^ I am expecting mine to sound better than that...

1) I don't think he has a crossover.
2) That looks like 2.25" pipe
3) He has no tips

And... That Flowmaster video doesn't really sound like mine either, but we do have different motors too...

I'm not tired of Flowmaster, I'm just want to try something new and uncommon.

I just like picking on ya for it. Yeah not sure if be has a crossover either, never stated having one so most likely not. Doesn't sound all that bad though, i'm gonna guess its the 16" versions. His camera isn't the best either.

Thats half of the thrill man! Finding out just truely how it sounds. I'm feeling the same for when I try Bullets. Will it get me in trouble at night, and will I shoot myself right in the head from the drone?

wow Im not too much of a fan for that guys borla sounds too....fake? i guess it just aint for me. what kinda sucks is that i dont know anyone whos got LT's cutouts and dual borlas mostly maggies and somewhat of a stock block, if theyve got the exhaust most likely theyve got a built block pumpin out 12-18lbs of force induced power....which i will soon have in the near future so im sure the sound will change just a touch by then. Im lookin up that number: 40941 and see what all i get for it.

Check out batn68's video of his 3" Xr1. It sounds just what you like based on those 3 videos you posted. Its the perfect sound for a truck.
