Borla Exhaust and crossover pipe question

[Wildcat767676]

I have a 2004 SRT Roadster and just ordered the Borla Cat back exhaust system. It has the option to use or not use the factory crossover pipes. Is there any benefit to keeping the crossover pipes that I'm missing???

Also, lots of people recommend cats and no mufflers like the 08's but wouldn't that drone quite a bit on the highway? I drive it to work too and like my music........thoughts??

Thanks guys!!

I just installed the Borla exhaust on my ’05 and as discussed in countless threads at this site, scrapping the crossover when adding a new system is one of the best moves one can make to their Gen 3 Viper. The Borla fits nicely, however, please take the time to search threads regarding aligning the exhaust outlet to the opening in the sill. I will leave you a PM with my cell phone number should you wish more detailed info on the installation as there are a couple of minor issues to consider.

Thanks,

Lynn

i'd imagine in Chandler, AZ heat is an issue in your car

like LynnS said, almost never hear of people chosing to keep the crossover, better to control sound in the sills

The crossovers help reduce drone. I don't think the drone is bad if the stock cats/headers are retained.
