Default Borla XR1 vs. STINGER

Which is louder and how bad is the resonance? I had some duel tip stingers and they were loud but bearable (for me anyways) but there was some resonance at about 1600 rpm's.

Thanks
Kelly

I had the XR-1 on my car and it was loud..and I have a friend who's got the Stingers..the XR1 was louder and had more resonance than the Stingers. The XR1 has just one chamber/Muffler, welding/cutting is required to hook this system up..it is not bolt-on like the Stingers.

the xr-1 is comparable to the straight pipes.

and as far as resonance it depends on what style of corvette you've got.

good point also about which car you have an A4 or MN6 that will effect resonance.

I have the XR1 and I dont think its that loud, my friend has Borla on his T/A and it is way louder.

The XR1 system is a little loud at the start but as the rpm goes up the sound drops off.

I have an 01 Vert and there is ressonece from about 1800 to 2300 rpm
you know crusing speeds.

Sometimes it gets anoying but its ok.

Just my 02
