I've got the dual tips too and I think they are a little too quiet at cruising speeds. Unless I have a headache, then I can really hear them. I also get no resonance and that's a big relief as my C4 had some issues with resonance.

Yeah, keep your foot out of it, but why the hell would you want to do that?

A&A had the best price when I bought mine. My 2-tip look great and sound even better, but aren't loud enough for me. Hoping LT headers will give me the volume I'm after.

LT Headers will definitely turn the volume up and an X-pipe will definitely turn the volume down!!

I love the Stingers...nice growl to them.

Any X-Pipe will help about 20% So will http://www.quietcar.net/?google about an additional 20 to 50%. Funny thing the longer that you drive the car the more accustom you become to the sound. At first it drove me nuts but now I really miss the sound when I am in another car. We are all different as to what we like and can tolerate when it comes to sound, and there is a wide opinion on the Stingers. I think you made a good choice, it may take some time to get accustom the interior sound.
