Black Widow Race VS. Borla S-Type

I currently am running the Borla S-Type kit without the resignator tips. I'm interested in the Black Widow Race Venom but just don't want drone in the cab on the highway, or while towing my boat. Can anyone give opinions as to how the two compare sound wise, and if the black widow is going to be waaaaay louder?

Anyone have any experience with this?

It's neither of the ones you listed, but I put the Dirty Deeds catback on mine and it's almost straight pipe loud with minimal drone. Might be one to look at.

I have heard a lot of good things from dirty deeds as well. I will have to check it out.

For what it's worth, I had a Borla XR-1 on my 5.0 and replaced it with a Black Widow Race Venom. The Black Widow was actually quieter inside drone wise at cruising speed but was definitely louder and deeper.

Skip the black widow mine didn't hold up to the abuse

Can you elaborate? I've run black widows on two previous trucks and had no complaints other than my neighbors upset about the sound lol

The DD system is my favorite around town but it does drone on the highway with or without towing on my S/Crew. On a 2-3 hour trip it was too annoying for me. I love the way DD looks with a 5" tip on it also.

Surre, after a year of use the muffler started cracking around the inlet. Have to either replace it of have it welded up.

were the hangers welded to the inlet and not the body of the muffler itself?
