I have a dilemma here. There is crap rattling in my mufflers right now and is very very annoying whenever I drive. My Mustang is a daily driver and is becoming embarressing to drive (it buzzes and rattles). I ordered a Borla exhaust for it but it will be another two to three weeks before I can get it. Is it really worth it to wait two/three more weeks for a Borla exhaust or should I get a Magnaflow? Or something else? I have read the reviews and everyone praises their Magnaflow exhaust. The Magnaflow would be about half the price too, but I think you get what you pay for. Can anyone help me out?

Around here it takes something other then Flowmaster to be different. I would go with the Borla. I've always liked the sound, just couldn't afford the price.

if you can afford the borla id wait and get it, most people on here would get borla if cost wasnt an issue, i know i would, that being said magnaflow makes a good product too...

Ive got the Borla Stinger cat back and I love it. The car has a really low deep tone now (I used to have 2 chamber flows and a pro chamber) The car is actually deeper and louder now than it was with my old combo.

just a thought.... for the rattle are you 100% sure it's the mufflers? i just tracked down an evil rattle, and it turned out my o2 sensor was loose and rattling on the X-Pipe. I took my exhaust off (catback, and half my x pipe before i noticed it, it pissed me off lol)

yeah, I went to a performance shop and they put it up on the lift with someone in it. Thye hit the gas a little and we were able to pinpoint the rattle was coming from within the muffler from underneath the car. At first I thought it was the heat shield....

performancepeddler on ebay sells for Borla for $450. I bought from him and recieved it within a week. Sounds great, fit and finish is great. I installed it myself in my garage with jack and stands in a touch over an hour. I would recommend it.

I second the ebay thing. if it is for sale there it is in stock. could be too you in a week.

that being said borla and magnaflow are both nice exhausts.

Borla's rule. They sound great.A deep bass tone,Quiet at idle.Bark at WOT. The dual tips fit the rear perfectly.I'd buy them again.

I dont get it either

I have Borla on my car and have loved them at every stage of my exhaust, they just keep getting better Stock i had just the catback, it sounded pretty good. Then i added LT headers and an O/R H (both are BBK) and it sounded amazing. Now that i have new heads and cams with a lope...

I have heard my friends exhaust with LT headers, O/R H (again, both BBK) and a Magnapacks system, sounded almost identical to mine except a little more poppiness

Do you get an interior "buzz" from your Stingers? I get a noise at mid RPM's from the right rear - can't tell if it's from the trunk or from somewhere under the plastic (right side arm rest area) cover at the rear seat.

I don't have the stingers, but I do have a Saleen/Borla catback and I love it! The car has a great sound at WOT, yet it is tolerable while driving normal.
