I'm going to try Borlas. Can anyone confidently advise which is the correct size? I'm not certain as to the width or inlet size. Many thanks!!!! :tu: (fyi~these are Jegs part numbers)

I'm also entering the market (finally) for a pulley, so any tips would be appreciated. I'm thinking of adding a 1 or 2 pound pulley since I'm still making payments:bs and it's my daily driver. I haven't called Terry lately to see if he came across one lately....

too me it sounded like i was blowing air the whole time, i dont know how to explain it exactly but too me magnaflow or bassani sound so much better, i have tried a number of them borla, flowmaster, magnaflow and recently installed bassani and i like the bassani the best, mike put on a set of hooker mufflers and they dont sound too bad either, just my 2 cents

dont bother with one or 2 # pulley

Waste of money - 4# is VERY safe if used with good tune

I have over 100,000 Miles expereince with 4# pulleys....

+1 on the pulley, a 4# from terry with a tune is completely safe

Kirk, its safe to go this route, just make sure you get a tune from Terry and you'll be good to go..

will do;)


please use this post for reference if somebody asks about Borlas.:hammer:

after putting them on and driving back from plano only to hear them against a concrete wall, i was a little worried...:confused:

i like the borlas after driving it around this evening. i suppose it would be ability to hear much more engine noise that has changed my mind. the flows that i had on it the past few years have been acceptable (good tone). i've always wanted to change to something else though. after cracking one open at cedar creek a couple weeks ago, i've needed to get them replaced...

the borlas lack the low rumble that i'm used to. the blown/exhaust noise is much more noticable though:burnout:
