The Borla XR-1 Low Profile Multi-Core racing muffler has a compact 4in diameter body that suits applications with limited space and works across a wide range of vehicles. Sometimes called a hot rod muffler, it uses Borla's patented Multi-Core three-tube design, which flows better than straight tubing for maximum flow, horsepower, and torque, making it well suited to high-horsepower builds. It is built from T-304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, with 100% welded construction and high-temperature continuous-filament fiber acoustic material for sound control. The reversible design adds installation flexibility, and the natural mill finish can be brushed or polished before installation. It is made in the USA.
