BuddyBrad | Does anyone have any experience with the Mopar "cat back" Prowler performance exhaust system? It's their part number P5007536. List price is $928.20 and my local Dodge dealer has it advertised for $696.00. I see a lot of happy folks talking about a product made by SSS. Is this just a baffle replacement for inside the factory muffler? Where can I learn more about it?

BuddyBrad | I appreciate the lead towards to eBay deal. I'm going to keep an eye on it. Has anyone actually heard this system and if so, what do you think about it? It is worth the money?

prowlerbabe | I love mine! You can call Randy at Lakeland Chrysler direct & not have to wait for bidding to end. I still haven't heard Jay's SSS muffler, but am looking forward to hearing it in June at Daytona. Randy's #800-455-2501. GOOD LUCK! ------------------ Mopar Performance Exhaust, Chrome Bumper Shimmers,Chrome Shimmer Engine Dress Up Kit, Black Sidemarker Shimmers, Logo Valve Stem Caps, Chrome Instrument Panel Rings, Front & Rear Mud Flaps, TGF Rear Spoiler, $24/24 hour grille |
Gary Archer | Buddybrad: I have heard them both in Louisville. I will be buying the SSS muffler from Jay. But like all things, it's a preference. You need to hear them both for yourself. ------------------ Gary Archer 02 Gold |
Todd Cameron | I've got three of the mopar's, far better in my opinion to buy muffler and tips for another $200 and polish the ends of the pipes from underneath for a really cool look! Sounds great too! ------------------ 2000 Black, 2001 Black Tie, 2001 Orange

Todd Cameron | Steve, I haven't taken them as I have been waiting to install my real rod 1/2 pan. Since you've asked though, I'll try and take some in the next day or two. Just bought a house and between that and work going to be really busy, but I'll take some and post. ------------------ 2000 Black, 2001 Black Tie, 2001 Orange

JCProwler | I wanted a cool look and sound, I went for the Mopar/Borla. I paid $575.00 plus shipping. I got mine from MidPark Chrylser in Dallas. |
Todd Cameron | That's a good deal, you have their number? ------------------ 2000 Black, 2001 Black Tie, 2001 Orange

BuddyBrad | Midpark's number is: 972-231-6500 and Randy Palmer is their Parts Department man. Unfortunately, last week when I tried to order a trailer from him he told me they are being bought by another company and their parts ordering capability is "frozen." If the part is in stock, that may be another story. You can also try Causeway Chrysler in Covington, Louisiania. Ask for Todd in Parts. 800-259-5337 or 504-892-9165. Good luck! ------------------ BuddyBrad

catterumpus | Go for the Mopar Borla. We have it with stock tips without baffles. It has a deep howl, esp at higher rpm @ full bore with no sharp rap you get with straight through or glass packs. ------------------ Donny & Donna Burnap basic black cat with flames 2000 no bumpers and tgf metalcrafter front & rear borla with stock tips and no baffles ceramic front brakes Donny's one-off zit covers and rear bumperettes This message has been edited by catterumpus on 06-11-2002 at 09:22 PM |

Dear Buddy Brad, I have an IDENTICAL exhaust set-up as Catterumpus.... The Borla Muffler with stock tips and no resonators does absoultely SOUND better than my previous glass packs (but man, the Borla REALLY hurt my performance). It all depends on what you want...me..I'm going to lick my wounds..get out my wallet..and go back to those obnoxious raspy sounding glass packs!!

Stray Cat | So am I understanding that by putting the Borla on your Kat (I have stock set up and I have a Mopar Borla in the box) that the performance goes DOWN How can that be ? I though the Exhaust added 10-15 HP ? John |
BuddyBrad | Chromer, I'm disappointed to hear that the Borla hurt your performance too. When you say it hurt performance, are you going by the feel in the "seat of your pants" or actual 1/4 mile times? I assume your talking about 0-60 type performance and not top end. Catterumpus, On your installation, if I understand you right you installed the entire Borla system, but left the stock chrome tips on the end (minus baffles inside). You didn't install the chrome tips that came with the performance kit (the ones with the Kat engraved on them)? Why didn't you want those tips on your Kat? BB ------------------ BuddyBrad

catterumpus | Brad, we got the Borla after we heard the NY Prowler club members were so stoked they ordered 18 of them. Maybe it's a matter of taste but we absolutely love the sound--deep and loud but not too loud. For the record at Bandimere Speedway (Denver) my best run was 16.31 and 84.67 mph. My r/t was .62. Our 2K is entirely stock except for the Borla. We like the stock tips without baffles because they are Prowler and are more in tune with the classic street rod look. The carbon fiber cans are too big and belong on a teenager's Honda. ------------------ Donny & Donna Burnap basic black cat with flames 2000 no bumpers and tgf metalcrafter front & rear borla with stock tips and no baffles ceramic front brakes Donny's one-off zit covers and rear bumperettes This message has been edited by catterumpus on 06-19-2002 at 05:50 PM |
Chromer | Buddy Brad.. I'm judging performance between the glass packs and the Borla by "seat of the pants" feel, but most importantly the lack of the "chirp of the tires" when the car upshift limits into 2nd. I am going to way heave the Borla and go back to glass packs someday. When I do, I promise to go back to Bandiemere and get some documented times in and post those times to be fair to Borla and to validate thoughts about Borla hurting my performance. JWD and Chromer |
Marty Usher | The SSS is a replacement for the stock muffler. Nice deeper tone than stock. For me without catalytic converters, it actually made the sound more tolerable at high RPM. The glass pac I had were great with the cats on but with them removed, the high RPM sound was obnoxious. As Gary said - sound is a personal preference. Jay's SSS sound good! |
