Porsche 944 Exhaust Upgrade | Adding Borla XR1 Muffler and Jones Resonator
In this video, I will be removing the harsh tones from my 944's exhaust. I added a Borla Xr1 muffler and a Jones turbine resonator. I go over everything that I did in the video including the placement of the resonator and how I fabricated an exhaust mount to go along with my new modifications. This exhaust system is not stock however, I believe there is a Lindsey racing exhaust on it with performance headers.

Hey, Well enjoyed🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)
Sound like ChrisFix
Great video! Thank you
@@michaelm1186 Absolutely, glad you found it helpful!
Hi! Would you happen to have any suggestions for what LEDs I could use for my tail lights? I'm planning to convert all my lights to LEDs and that's the only one I can't seem to find a bulb for. Could you use the same LED for the side marker lights in your tail lights? Thank you
@@iantovanesch408 the side marker lights are smaller than the taillights. I would go over to Auxbeam or SuperBrightLEDs and find them there

Great job ! 👏 😊
Thank you, I appreciate it. Glad I could help!
These types of cheap leds are generally hot garbage with poor light patterns
Seems to be working pretty well to me...very nice beam pattern too🤷
Is all this necessary to change the bulb for the battery light? My alternator is not working. Replaced the plug at the alternator. My battery light doesn't come on. Some say the bulb is not allowing it to compleye the circut. Thank you for your video
Not quite sure what you are asking, but the bulb has nothing to do with the alternators ability to charge. The bulb should come on of the alternator is not charging. An easy way to tell if your alternator isn't working is to measure voltage with the engine on...it should be more than 12.5 volts...hope this helps
Nice, im using the same muffler but a different resonator. I definitely love the borla compared to my old setup(it was ear bleeding loud) the borla sounds so much better and gives it deeper tone 👍
Absolutely, my previous set up has me embarrassed to drive by crouds of people 😂
@TheMileHighMechanic exactly, my wife and I drove the car almost a 1200 mile road trip to 944camp(tail of the dragon) and we were screaming to talk to each other the whole way. I was like I'm switching this thing out as soon as I get home. I originally had a single baffle muffler, it might as well been straight piped 🤦
Yeah, I have no clue what was on the car before, but I don't think it actually did anything in my case besides make it sound like a clapped out civic😂
What was the exact part number on the Borla XR-1 muffler?
40942
Great job great thorough video
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hey thanks for sharing this....and congrats on the car...sounds really really good now :) If I wind up getting a 944 like I plan to within a few months, I'll probably do this same mod. Might be picking up an '88 944 NA.
I highly recommend it! It makes owning this car so much better... honestly before I did this, I was kind of embarrassed about how the car sounded...I loved everything else about it, but for it to sound like a clapped out civic really didn't sit right with me...the resonator+xr1 combo is a very nice change. Also good luck with your 944 search!
That sounds actually insanely good. I’m actually wildly curious what kind of power your car is making with the cam, it looks like you’ve got some MSDS headers on there and now with a nice free flowing exhaust…. I bet you with a Lindsey MAF kit you might have a mid 7 second- maybe even a high 6 second car lol (0-60). Looks like you have a 3 inch exhaust setup. How does the car feel to drive? Is it super boggy in the lower end? It seems like it accelerates perfectly fine to me but everyone always says 3inch exhaust and longtube headers kills your torque but your torque looks just fine to me 😅
So, I actually ran with a dragy gps system when I launched afterwards and I got some results that kind of surprised me... Albeit I still don't know how to properly launch this thing, and I don't like to beat on it That being said, my 0-60 time was 12.93 seconds...now the biggest factor is the altitude. I did this run at 7437 ft above sea level. Definitely not what it feels like, and my 986 boxster also timed really high at 9.31 seconds, so I think the altitude is playing a huge factor. Driving the car is pretty smooth when you are in the throttle. Due to the high overlap cam, you need to be either on or off the throttle at low speed or else it will buck a decent bit. I haven't really noticed any torque loss, but then again I don't have a reference point to compare against. If I ever feel like switching the ECU out to do the MAF kit I will, but for now I am pretty content with just hitting up some car shows every once and a while.
@@TheMileHighMechanic Huh that is interesting! Altitude 100% is in play no doubt. I totally understand your reasoning hahahaha the NAs just aren’t ever going to be fast but sounds like you have a great weekend/ cars and coffee car no doubt. Thanks for the input! Been going back and forth on camming mine but I think I’ll at least throw some headers on there just because lol.
Yeah, I really can't complain with this car right now... compared to my boxster it is a reliability machine🤷
@@TheMileHighMechanic Don’t say that I was looking at 986s for a potential daily 😂😂😂😂😂
@@TakeFlightGarage I just have some security system gremlins at the moment that don't seem to be documented by anyone. Overall the car is great.
Tried both tan and blue wire and when I press the switch wire got extremely hot and smoked wth now?
Are you sure you are tapping into the correct side of the wire? Things can get pretty tricky with wiring.
Awesome video. Thank you.
Absolutely, glad I could help
@@TheMileHighMechanic Now to figure out another issue 😢Brake light back left no longer blinks or react to braking. But it works. So not the bulb
@@Thibstho Does it blink fast? If not then something may have gone bad in the relay
QUESTION. do these cars come with the tesla pucks ? Or you gotta buy them yourself
You have to buy them yourself, I have a link in the description I believe.
Great video! I habe an oilleak at the rear. Now i know to get the axle shaft out and get to the seal. Not sure if thats the problem. Is there an other seal between the bearing housing and the axle housing itself? Maybe you can help👍
@@Dirtpros There is no other seal on the rear end besides the axle seal, so if there is a leak, it likely coming from there.
Does anyone know what bulbs the smaller ones are?
They are 197 bulbs...also known as t5 bulbs
Yeah wow! This is soooo exactly me last week. 😀 But I removed all the switches and handles as well, to proper clean all the contacts and stuff. 🙂
@@KalleTheodor NICE! 👍
My pump is still good. How long do they last? I have 150thousnd miles on mine and almost want to replace it before it goes out?
@@vdittycc It really depends on the pump and when it decides to fatigue, but Honda build stuff usually lasts a while, so I'd give you at least another 50k miles 🤷
Mine has exactly the same issue. I tried cleaning the throttle body a week ago but couldn’t even get the intake hose off 😂 pretty sure it’s filthy in there. Will be having a second attempt tomorrow.
@@aran7teen The tube is on there pretty tight aswell...I wish you luck on your second attempt.
What Color did you use?
@@Mike-vi3zr Cool White
Some of my dash lights are shot so I’m thinking of replacing them soon. Where could I get the bulbs?
@@Micahs_Flicks I believe I left a link in the description

@TheMileHighMechanic the step by step both ways with a bolt count should be standard. It works well for the adhd crowd 😊
@@RichardRuth Absolutely, it is the only way my videos make sense to me😂
Excellent well-planned video. Thanks for showing. Still trying to decide if I need PSE or not on my base 981. P.S. I like the color and rear GTS lights combo - I have the same (I am I right thinking that yours is GT silver metallic)
@@Suleimenoff Yep, Gt silver !
Axel bearing seal is stuck on impossibly tight for me unfortunately. Got to ask, is it fine to use the slide hammer to pull out the bearings and the stuck seal at the same time? At face value, it seems it would be significantly easier to pull out a rusted seal this way.
@@-R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D- Yeah, slide hammer will be a great way to remove it!
@@TheMileHighMechanic thanks for the quick reply! Always worried about doing so since so many people pull their seals out seperately before moving to their bearings. I wonder why that is or if there is some risk im not aware of. Great video by the way! Got me through most of my struggles!
@@-R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D- It's mainly because you can't get the bearing out until the seal is removed, but I guess slide hammering the seal and bearing at the same time could work🤷
@@TheMileHighMechanic Doesn't hurt to try I guess 👍
@@-R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D- Yep! Good luck

good video.

So I said fuck em, never going to get a cent from me again, will do it myself.

Thanks for the video! Only note is to get the horn working, I had to cut the horn contact plate a bit, and bend it so it actually made contact with the adapters grounding ring. May have been what happened with yours. It doesn’t line up exactly and doesn’t make good contact, hence no grounding so no horn. I made it slightly skinner and bent it slightly outwards. I also had to change the hump location to more of the 9 o clock position relative to the adapter, then it was able to make contact with the ring, and get horn sounds
