Buy two Car Chemistry 3 disk inserts; search Car Chemistry on Google. They won't eliminate all the resonance but a lot of it. The directions recommend to pop rivet but no rivets are needed since they can't go anywhere once in the exhaust pipe.

I bought Quad Borla Stingers last summer because I was impatient and couldn't wait for the GHLs to be manufactured (due to high demand). At the time, I was very happy with my decision to go with the Borla Stinger's because they sounded great (and no noticable drone) with stock manifolds, cats, and a 6-speed. Now that I've added LGM LTs and high-flow cats, the Borla's drone really heavily around 1600rpm; which is my 72mph cruising speed. Now I'm wishing I'd have thought a little further ahead in the beginning and waited out for the GHLs.

I dont have any drone??? In fact cruising in 6th gear at 75mph, I cant hear anything, sounds completely stock.

I have the 2 tip stingers and MN6

On second thought, I do have drone, its comes from the passenger seat from my fiance when she tells me I shift to jerky at hard acceleration

Love mine,

Mike

I have the dual Stingers and the drone is not an issue until about 87+ MPH. Around 2200 -2300 RPM. Even then it is not bad. Wouldn't trade the Stinger sound fur nuthin
