borla stinger quad tip's
im in the process of buying a system, and just curious how much louder than stock it is? i cant stand how quiet it is now, (my previous car was a z28 with longtubes that i ran open cutouts on all the time lol) i dont want THAT sound...i dont want my stock vette to sound like that but i do want to be able to hear it better

They are pretty loud. Its not too bad on the interstate unless you are in the drone range, which is around 55-65mph for me (A4 3.15). When accelerating reasonably hard, you can forget hearing your passsenger/radio/cell phone conversation. They sound great, but I recommend getting a Xpipe along with it.

They are perfect - not obnoxiously loud or so quiet that you mistaken them for stock. Just think of what the sound of a 60's small block with dual exhaust and Dynomax SuperTurbo mufflers is like and you'll get the "picture".

It doesn't get rid of the decel popping at all. Of course when I put on the X-pipe it was with headers/no cats, so....Stingers with the stock exhaust are great, but are really loud with headers/O/R X pipe. Nice tone for the most part, but a honking noise when given alot of throttle at low RPMS.

I was at Andy's great event last weekend and I watched his mechanics install a new set of Borla quads with an X-pipe. I watched them cut the old X-pipe off with a saw, and then the new X-pipe attached right behind the cats with clamps. If you don't have a lift, getting the old exhaust system out will be very difficult. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your new sound.
