Borla Stingers - Chicagoland
Anyone in the Chicago far Northwest suburbs (Huntley for reference) have Borla Stingers dual tips (part #140017) on their C5 that wouldn't mind me coming by to hear what they sound like? I currently have Corsa's and am considering changing them out for a more aggressive sounding system. Appreciate the help.

Really? I would have said the opposite. I had the Corsa Indy's on my 97 and now I have Stingers on my 98 and would say the Stingers are much more deep and throaty while the Corsas were higher pitched and more exotic sounding. Also, I would say the Stingers are a good amount louder.

If you go to the Corvette Funfest in Effingham this weekend you can listen to just about every exhaust combination there is! I'll be there with the following set-up:
- Borla Stingers (Dual)
- Dynamax LT Header System
- Ported and polished throttle body
- Underdrive Pulley
- Custom cam
It's VERY aggressive and I love it...

The corsa' sounded higher pitched to me. The borla's put the muscle back in the exhaust note.

Try my appetizer... It's nowhere near as good as hearing it in person, but it'll give you an idea.
