AUDI RS3 BORLA vs FLOWMASTER 

Here are some timestamps to help compare the two. 5:50 Flowmaster Startup 6:48 Flowmaster Rev 9:00 Borla Startup 9:08 Borla Rev

Borla all the way, had a TT tuning exhaust and race pipe on my old 12v vr and was always told it sounded nicer than other vr exhausts

Borla for the win! Also we need to see some quarter mile and dyno vids of the stock block VR just for fun!

Borla = great natural VR6 noises, Flowmaster = perfect daily milder VR6 noises

I actually thought that it sounded more "wookie" when you started it on the Borla. Also I daily my cars and prefer my exhaust to be more on the quiet side for comfort. Especially for when I go on road trips. So that's another reason I'd choose the Borla.

Borla never let me down on my civic hatchback eg and was the loudest exhaust & I got a lot of compliments while everyone sported the mainstream brands! That sounds perfect!

That Borla muffler is like adding all the perfect ingredients to your build. With the flowmaster it sounds like the VR is going through puberty and with the Borla it sounds like a man . Great build.

I like'it...sound is AMAZING ''Flowmaster''...Flowmaster is definitely something in between and it's more for daily ride and some Drag races , but Borla is only for Drag races my opinion... it didn't fit in my ears for a daily ride....and now it's up to you brother George what you want this beautiful work for you , Fam...wouldn't want anyone to be offended , but that's my opinion... greetings from Croatia

Borla sounds 100% better I'm so glad that I found this channel 3-4 years ago!!! Great content again and again from MMS 👍

Stopped, started, rewinded, replayed many, many times. Both sounds great, that BORLA though!! Makes it sound mean and like a real VR!! One of the best builds on the 'tube and a beeeeeg thumbs up for such an epic build. Keep it going!! 💪💪💪💪

Borla for sure, more compact and deeper rumbling 👌👌

I like higher pitched 6-cylinder sounds... So for me it's Flowmaster. But I can see the appeal of the Borla. Nice throaty-deep sound. Sounds more like a VR motor should.

Borla ftw! So compact with great clearance. Running my STK 2.7 with the 3 inch borla xr1! Amazing sound! Using the xr1 under the middle section and 3 inch pipe to the tips...sounds the same! You'll love it!

I liked the flow master sound. Would of liked to hear more of that on the road. But its what you like. Sounds like you made up your mind that the borla wins. My favorite thing is you saying you do you and not letting others tell you that you ruined your car when they dont even work on there own car. Inspiring as always george!!

Borla goosebumps. sounds freakin sick af man ! perfect match

Got a Borla on my R32 and I like it because its pretty tame in the low end but sings in WOT. I have the Borla full cat back NA so it's not quite as loud but I'm happy with the sound in the end. Both sound great but the Borla did keep that wookie sound more so than the Flowmaster.

Borla all day, and yes TT exhaust systems even made 8V sound good and pop when downshifting! Great video man!!

Sounds SO proper. So cool seeing this come together.

My son has a 2.8 VR6, had a glass pack right off the manifold, it was obnoxious! Talked him into putting a Flow Master FLOWFX muffler on it. It is so much better! He even likes it more now. I have the same muffler on my 1.8T, it's straight through so it's still loud when you get on it! I say Borla, simply because I'd think 2 step would eventually pop a chambered muffler.

I prefer the Magnaflow. Very similar to the Borla but i think the overall sound is better, I have them on a 3.0VRT 12v and a V8 Touareg.

With the borla it sounds badass...im jealous

Borla really brings the vr out. Test drive gave me goosebumps. Woohoo

Borla baby! Always loved their systems.

I have a Passat W8, unequal length exhaust ports just like a vr. I went through the same process and ended up using the Flowmaster Super HP2. They label it as laminar flow, which could be marketing bs, but they sound great on that engine, and zero drone. For the 2 you tested here, I prefer the Borla.

Go with the BORLA bro. I think it suits perfect to the VR6. Great project, big respect for building it.

I like the sound of both mufflers, the flowmaster had the old 12v tone, the borla let the turbo have a say in the sound, sounded a lot more modern but still a VR. Borla for the win.

Have a mkv r32 with 3” cat back with a flowmaster super 44. It’s definitely loud but many people have complimented me on the sound. All personal preference at the end of the day for exhaust setups

The 12V and 24V swaps videos were great info. I've slowly been working my way back through watching all your videos. Have you done a video that covers transmissions and mods you have done to them in the cars you have? I haven't found one yet if you have.

That borla sound is impeccable

Borla!! Less rasp, more mature wookie sound. Will you bring this to Wookies in the Woods 2022?

Dude, the sound of a VR6 is, as we all know, nearly one of the best sounds in Motorsport! Right there next to the Italian thoroughbreds and the unbeatable roar of a Mustang V8. The song of the VR6 is the sound of Lord’s horn signaling the attack… let the beast sing! BORLA ALL THE WAY!

My preference is the Borla for this application. I run a vibrant exhaust at the moment, but I may pick up a borla and give it a try.

Borla sounds more fitting for a german ride! Keep up the excellent work Sir!

The Flowmaster has a nice raw sound, but I prefer the lower more refined growl of the Borla 👍🏻

If performance was the only or number one goal, the obvious answer is to test them at the strip/track and pick the quickest regardless of sound. But, for a street/strip car, sound is a big factor, and is also subjective. I've used both Flowmaster and Borla, and MY view is that Flowmaters sound better on larger V-8's, and Borlas on the 6 cylinder and under cars. But George, go with what YOU like, and I believe real gearheads will always support you. "Variety is the spice of life".

I like the Borla for sure. Man, happy to be watching your videos again. Had my email and other information stolen (ironically through the VW/Audi breach), used to be under name James Blade.

That Borla sounds sick asf 😍🤤 leave it on

I like the Borla, it sounds more refined, great tone, and the turbo spool comes through better!

+1 for Borla VR6 + Borla for the win!

Hard to tell over the mic, but I like it. I need to hear you finish out the system to fully decide. You should drive around with the flowmaster just to see what it sounds like. ( I lean borla too but id like to hear the flowmaster under load. You ought to try a magnaflow too, they allow for some good wholesome VR sound too.

Love it guys! would you ever consider rebuilding a Corrado? I would love to see that !

Bro, you've lost a lot of weight! Looking good man!

I like the sound of Aero Turbine mufflers too!

BORLA All the way!!!! More European sounding and it suits the car. Great job on the car!

flowmaster has got fuller rounded sound.More complete sound.

On point guys. My favorite swap on RU-vid. Keep it coming.

Borla ! Sound nice and deep...

Pure music with the borla

VR6 forever! You guys are my vr6 hero's such an underated engine. Please mass produced your fabricated parts or a vr6 Malaka manual how to do that VR6 build especially for a 24v. 😊👍

No way! Big thumb for Borla,if you put two more will very happy....like me!!🙂

Borla for sure brought out the true Wookie sound

Borla for sure!!! Brings out that beautiful VR Wookie rumble!

Ay George do a little plot twist next: Fit a DAZA into a VR6 Jetta. Ps. I cannot fkn wait to see this on the dyno, man this car is going to break some hearts. So epic. She sounds amazing!

That sounds awesome with the Borla deep sound 👌🏿

JOB WELL DONE GOOD SOUND YOU DO WHAT YOU DO AS CAR GUY MOTOR SWOP OR NOT BUT ITS DIFFERENT AND YOU OWN THAT . FEEL PROUD OF WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸💪💪💪

flowmaster for me : love that vr brolic sound.💪🏽

Borla sounds great!

More than cool! You are defying the next generation . Taking a solid ass trans off a decent motor and slapping it to a solid ass motor .. The daza is cool and all but with the cost and limit ; not so worth it.

Sounds like a dream.

Borla takes it. It's the purest vr sound.

That sounds amazing!

If you want the positive attention borla, if you want those blue lights behind you all the time Flowmaster is for you

Borla all the way!! Had one on my RSX back in the day and it was the only muffler that didn't make a Honda sounds like a lawnmower :)

The VR6 sounds fantastic.

Hoonigan rematch, beat that mustangs ass? Show the world the Vr6T has a place back in modern VWs and Audis!

Taste is subjective … I like the flow master better … borla seemed too tamed

Borla all the way, right on VR6 sound, muffled the high pitch and gives a deep bass sound.

Cant wait to see the VRS3 vs iroz RS3 once it is fully complete just to see how far some guys in a garage can get 👌🏽

VRS3.2 is the badge required for the rear now

I need to see you guys do a b8.5

Go with the Flowmaster and some whistle tips woo woo

Yep, Borla. Done.

Borla sounds epic man get it on 🤟🏼

Yeah the borla for the VR every time!

IMO, Borla sounds better, burbles sound fantastic. I think Flowmasters are designed more for American muscle cars more than Euro specs🤙

BORLA for the Win, sounds amazeballs!!

Damn it’s so weird hearing this thing sound almost identical to my old 12v VRT. It’s hard to beat Borla on the VR.

Let’s gooooooo. Flowmaster is good but borla and magnaflow is the best

"straight pipe all the way" is a young mans game. I left those days behind close to 10 years ago now. (iam 34 ) Straight pipe just isnt practical for every day life.

That Borla sounds so good!

Borla for sure.

Sounds the nuts 👍🏻❤️

They both sound awesome so for me it would be the one that has less drone while on the highway. I like the tone of the borla just a little more.

Gorge were not even in the United States what your doing is bigger than a couple people not liking your build. Fuck it ill say it, anybody not liking what Gorge and stav are doing you have got to be out of your fucking mind. I have learned so much. This channel inspired my Audi B6 vr6 R30 build. Gorge and Stav Just remember this, i'm not just watching this channel i'm a fan of the channel. Thank you Stav and gorge for the wealth of information over the years.

Flowmaster makes a different style muffler that they call "laminar flow." They're different internally to their standard chambered mufflers. I personally run a Super HP2 shorty in place of the factory resonator on my MK4 12V combined with a Magnaflow rear muffler swap. I feel that some of the lopeyness or "wookie" sound was removed and the sound became more consistent and smoother with the HP2 swap, which I personally prefer (I have a few sound clips on my channel). VRs in general sound better to me with straight-through style mufflers.

borla sound superb

I like the Flowmaster tbh, would like to hear it under load also

You are droning me out I couldn't hear you 😅. I prefer the sound of flowmaster, I say do another road test with it and revs ! .what do you say guys?

My son wants to boost has 2.8 VR6. Any suggestions or extra parts you like to get rid of/sell?

Borla definitely, much cleaner true vr6 sound.

Sounds great George 👍😁

Holy Fucking Shit George. Good stuff, great inspiration btw.

Borla 🙌🏼

Makes a lot of sense. You sell the 2.5 for 10k, new engine with all mods to 700hp will be the same price.

It's the borla for me🔥

Borla for sure! More wookie sounds with it. VR swap the world!

Borla hands down

We need more content!

Borla gives more 'VR' sound🙊

Borla all the way!
