Default Help ID these mufflers. (2000 posts!)

Woooooooot! 2000 posts! I'm a "Made Member" now!


Anyhow... When surfin' the Craigslist... I came across these! I'm not exactly sure what they are. I sent the guy an email but I'd love to get some info from here first! He's asking $250, which could be too much or a great deal, depending on what they are. I like the "circular chamber" design, so these may be the mufflers I buy.

help-id-these-mufflers-2000-posts-mufflers.jpg

Could they be Borla Stingers? From the pictures they look like they could be, but I don't see "Borla" on the chamber. SLP Power-Flos? Bassini Axle-Backs? The guy is claiming that they're over $450 new, if that helps at all.

What would you guys say? Worth it? Or should I put out an extra $50 and pick up a set of BoomTubes new for $300?

All comments appreciated!

well, to be honest i wouldent buy them if you dont know what they are!

Lol! This is actually a local guy, so I wouldn't buy them if I wasn't going to pick them up in real life & could have checked then. Haven't bought em yet!

Yeah, thats what I was originally thinking. I thought that Borla had "BORLA" embossed in the side of the chamber though? Maybe these are the FRPP versions, still made by Borla??

If they were Borla, the name would be on there. But the Ford Racing axle back wouldn't, and that's what those look like.

They are not the Borlas. They look a lot like Bassani mufflers.

Sheesh, 3 possibilities added to the list!

Thanks for the input guys. I'm betting on the Ford Racing Axle Back, which is essentially the Borlas without the "embossed name". But KDT, you say they are Bassini? What makes you say that?

And GSB, the SLP Loudmouths have no chambers; they're a "straight-through" pipe. I was thinking they could be SLP Power-Flos, essentially the upgrade from the LMs.

The Borla's chrome tip is longer and SLP uses an exhaust clamp on the chrome tip from what I have seen in their advertisements. That is why I'm guessing that they are Bassanis. You can look at some pretty good pics on American Muscle's websight.

The FRPP 5GT's should have Ford Racing written on the tips of the exhaust.

Not a great pic but should give you and idea.

Why would this be in Talk vs. Tech? Its pretty much specific to GTs.... Huh.

Anyways... More possibilities!

Thanks for the info... Maybe they are Bassinis.
