borla stinger catback
im wondering how much of a difference there is between just swapping out cat back system with the borla stinger set up, ive seen a video but it was of a Z06 and i beleive it had longtubes, but not 100% on that, any way, if any one has a set of these on a pretty stock exh cars (manifolds to the cat being stock) how does it sound?

Sounds like a deep, throaty, V8 growl is supposed to sound....
It is deeper and less trumpet like than the Corsa and not as barking loud as the B&B's
BUT that is my opinion.... the sound and the look are very subjective...

...absolutely incredible! I've heard many types, but this one comes closest to my old 68's sound.

Here ya go...Stingers with LTs. This is just a small clip, with a rev to 3800rpm. It gets much nastier... This will give ya an idea at idle.
Stingers with LTs
I need to go out and get a better, longer clip to higher rpm, but I've got little kids sleeping five houses down... :-) I'll try to get something else sometime soon.

big difference between stock and the stingers, be careful once you start modding your exhaust you can't stop! I got stingers and liked them so much that I got

an excellent description. I love my Stingers (quad ovals). Reminds me of my 65 GTO.

Here is a little comparison video I did when I swapped out a stock '04 exhaust (on a 2000) for the Borla Stingers. Car is otherwise stock.
Not great, but it will give you an idea.
