Default Borla vs Borla!

According to Borla.com, these two exhausts are "Aggressive". I have the Stinger exhaust with the mufflers and they're kinda tame. Bear in mind, it's my only performance modification...cats and headers are stock.

That being said..which of the two below are louder..throatier? Any videos of stock C5's with either exhaust? I'm looking to sell my existing Stingers for the other Stingers (without mufflers) if they sound better!

You had LG Pro's w/o cats and Stingers and it was too loud? Care to explain? Did it sound bad, or was it the drone? Or both?

I noticed You are in NY. This may have something to do with it.In 2000 many east and west coast cars had additional "pup cats" on their stock exhaust,,making 2 cats per side which would make them quieter than other cars with only 1 large cat per side. If you can get under there ,see if there is a small cat right off the exhaust manifold in front of the larger main cat. My 2000 started life in the central part of the country and only has 1 large cat per side and sounds pretty good with Corsa touring. It does make a difference.
