Sportsman XR-1 Shorty 3in In/Out x 12in Muffle

The BORLA Sportsman XR-1 Shorty 3-inch In/Out x 12-inch Muffler is a stainless steel exhaust component engineered for street and light-duty applications requiring compact fitment and broad compatibility. Built to BORLA's performance standards, this universal muffler delivers controlled sound reduction while maintaining flow characteristics across a wide range of engine platforms and displacement levels.

The muffler features a 3-inch center inlet and outlet configuration, accommodating standard exhaust piping diameters used on many popular domestic and import engines. Its 12-inch overall length and compact oval body design—measuring 4.5 by 7.875 inches—allow installation in tight underbody environments where traditional larger mufflers cannot fit. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from road salt and moisture, extending service life in harsh climates. At 7.75 pounds, this unit integrates with existing exhaust systems without introducing significant weight penalties.

This muffler is ideal for builders and vehicle owners working within space constraints—compact trucks, modified import vehicles, or custom fabrication projects where drop-in mufflers prove too large. Its universal mounting platform and standardized inlet/outlet sizing make it a practical choice for custom exhaust development, restoration work, or performance engine swaps where OEM components no longer fit the application. The natural stainless finish requires no additional coating and blends with most modern exhaust systems.

BORLA mufflers are recognized within the automotive aftermarket for sound quality and durability across consumer and commercial fleets. The Sportsman XR-1 shorty variant maintains that reputation in a compact package, making it a reliable foundation for custom exhaust tuning or direct replacement applications where factory fitment constraints apply.
