Dagartdan - I want to mention that I have had my quad round tip Borla Stingers for about 2 years now. I also have a magnaflow X-Pipe. I love the sound. There is some slight drone at about 1800 RPM but not enought to bother me. I got mine from WCC and yes I was not happy with the tips on the first set I received. WCC was very accomodating and sent me another set of the Stingers and the tips were more to my liking. I am having American Racing headers installed at Carlisle. Its going to be interesting to here what the Borlas sound like with headers. Good luck with your purchase.

Which Magnaflow system do you guys have.

The one that looks like the Stinger to me is the Magna Pack.

What would the Borla X-Pipe do for the sound of the Stingers? I know it lessens the popping, which I kind of like; but, if it makes the tone louder overall, I'm all for it! <---(How's that for comma usage )

I'm interested in the results of the x pipe also. the burble on deceleration is my favorite part of the stinger's sound. I don't really want that to go away, but I could use more throatiness to the sound if there's anyway to get it.

Another vote for GHL! I've had Bassani, Corsa and Stingers and the GHL Magnum is the best for that deep muscle car sound, great at WOT and virtually no drone in any rpm range. Awesome pipes!
