I run the Borla Pro XS, offset in, center on the outlet. Quiet when your cruising around, but sound good when you lay into it.

Coach I think you're not getting answers because no one can tell you what you might want. Louder or quieter?

The XS is quieter (I think?) and the XR is louder. The shorter - 12 vs 16" is more roudy. I ran the 12" XRs and they are loud. I am happy about that too.

Once you decide, google them in your size and order them. I'm happy to help if you have any more questions.

I'm going to be running the XRs in a 3 inch version with an Xpipe. I like a loud car and drone doesn't bother me. I heard them on a DSE built car at a GG autocross and was hooked. Seems like with Borla, all of the noise is heard at the tip of the pipe unlike a Flowmaster where it's heard next to the car. Just what I observed.

Thanks you guys I am running an Lsa with nice cam. I want it to be nice and deep but not annoying. Was wondering how the 16s would fit underneath

That's got to be one of the hardest things to get right. Loud enough, not too loud. Nice and deep but not drone inside the car. Especially when most of these stainless performance mufflers aren't cheap. Plus figuring out where/how to exit the tips, all that comes into play.

I like all the sound to be at the very back of the car, sound deep and nasty as he!! but be fairly quiet inside.
