If you want loud get some straight pipes or the LOUDMOUTHs from SLP.
That is going to sound far from stock!

When I was ready for more sound from my Borla's I went with Dynatech header system with high flo cats, and x pipe. Really woke them up

I am assuming you put the Stingers. You think they sound like STOCK?!?! Have you seen an audiologist lately?

There are more models of Borlas than the Stingers, obviously...I can only assume you got the "touring" version or "***** cat" pipes. Stingers are definitely not stock-ish! Or like someone else said, maybe you just need to break out of the 1200-1400 rpm band and then you can hear those babies!!

If they are that quiet I doubt they are Stingers. Mine are anything but quiet especially above 2000rpm. Can you post a pic for us?
