The best mod I put on this car was the Stingers. It made a car that was a blast to ride about 5X better. I love stop and go traffic, especially the go part!

Looks like they might go on today!! That pic does show some muffler showing. At least I got those polished up pretty good this morning.

I had to get a second set from Borla under warranty because the first had faulty alignment due to being welded slightly off. So, when the second set arrived, I spent a day polishing the cans since they were somewhat visible from the rear. I'm sporting Z06 Ti's now, btw, because these had too much resonance with my h/c and header setup. Other than that, I loved them.

You know, the first batch of these Borla made came with polished cans from the factory.

Hope you get them installed tomorrow. I think you'll love the look and sound of the pipes.
