In racing, every horsepower counts, so no competitor will use something that will reduce engine power. Yet, winning drivers in all forms of racing use Borla XR-1 Racing Mufflers. It’s because these racers have found that Borla mufflers cost them no power and the noise reduction reduces driver fatigue and increases driver awareness.

The Sportsman Oval is Borla’s bestselling racing muffler because it’s the lightest, most compact, and highest flowing racing muffler in its class. The Sportsman Round includes the same design features for applications requiring a compact, round muffler.

Borla’s patented straight through muffler design reduces restriction and increases exhaust gas velocity, making sure each cylinder is completely evacuated to make room for the incoming charge. This design absorbs the sound waves without disturbing the power waves.

Borla uses austenitic stainless steel in the construction of the XR-1 Mufflers, which contains high levels of nickel and chromium, to resist corrosion. This material is harder than the lower grade stainless steel used by the OEM manufacturers, yet is very ductile. Nevertheless, the increased hardness requires special equipment to form and bend. The muffler contains a stainless steel perforated tube wrapped with several layers of stainless steel sound absorbing material and a layer of ceramic sound absorbing, high temperature material, all contained in a fully welded stainless steel shell.
