Borla muffler used in Cat Back kit?

Does anyone know what muffler Borla uses in the F-150 PN#140136 Cat Back kit?

I'm leaning towards getting a Borla muffler now instead of Magnaflow and I'm thinking of buying the Borla and just have a muffler shop weld it in place of the stock muffler but I can't seem to figure out which Borla muffler comes in the kit.

Thank you. Do you know if the Pro XS is a loud muffler? I only have experience with the flowmaster 40 & 50 series. I'm looking for a good quieter sound with no drone. I'd hate to end up with some type of a race muffler.

The ProXS is your ticket here then. Audio of a Flowmaster 40 outside, but the peace of a large body muffler inside. The Xr1 line of mufflers are the race series mufflers putting out the heavy loud volume mine does.

Flomasters are terrible mufflers. They are loud and obnoxious. Cruzing at 35 mph @ 1500-2k rpms will make you want ear plugs.

Thanks for all of the input. I'm pretty much set on the Pro XS I just have to wait until I get off work to go measure and see what offset, if any, I need to order so it will be an easy swap for the muffler shop.

Seaching google it looks like the Borla Turbo and the Pro XS is the same muffler but what about the Turbo XL? It looks like a larger muffler. I've read some posts on here that say the "small mufflers" have a different sound.

Well I had a Borla Pro XS welded in place of my stock muffler yesterday. I got the muffler from eBay for around $70. It is louder than stock but isn't very loud. You can kind of control the noise by how much you push the throttle. I know what seems obvious but it seems like you can make it make more noise than has to by the way you drive it. I haven't noticed any drone noise in the cab. My gf says "this thing growls"
