Default Borla Stinger Exhaust system

Im surprised I couldnt find any old posts on this system.

Does any body have this system in their vette? I have been hearing good things about the Borla exhaust systems on the forum about how they are not overly loud. But I couldnt find anything on this particular system.
The Stinger exhaust system.

Any thoughts?

I have it and I love it. It is not loud at all for me. I plan to install long tube headers and get a high flow cat to go along with this system.

sorry guys but i disagree about the sound of the system. the look and quality of the stinger is unquestionable, it is superb like all borla products. the sound however is too raspy and not crisp at all, they sound the same as 20 dollar cherry bomb glasspacks with an h-pipe.

some guys dig them though, but to each is own.

I have regular Borlas on mine with hollowed cats and a short vid clip of it doing a 100mph pass close to the vid camera. PM me if you want to hear it..

i was looking at this setup, is the sound you describe like a freakin ricer? is it all high-end weedeater noise or does it have the low "thunder" sound that ive read about in other descriptions of borla. id be severely disappointed if it didnt have an equal/deeper sound than my cat back no muffler setup.

The borla sound is not like a ricer. Is more of the thunder sound. I have them on mine and like em.

I've been running it for a year now and I wouldn't change anything about it. I love it and the quality is excellent.
