Long tube headers and Borla here I love the sound and get lots of compliments also. I am sure the GHLs sound good also and anything is better than stock

i had had borla stingers, they sounded fine with stock mid section, when i added heads an cam, the the drone was unbearable, so i switched to ZO6 Ti's but those were to quiet, so today i installed new GHL's bullets, look good and sound great! these are the only way to go.

I put Borla Stingers on a stock 6-speed 2001 system and they sounded great. Later I upgraded my stock system to American Racing headers, Xpipe, and Hi Flow cats, then reinstalled the Borlas. The drone was unbearable. I ended up replacing the Borlas with GHL Motorsports, no more drone and sounding great again.
If you plan to keep your stock system the Borlas will be fine, in fact I sold mine to a fellow club member with a 2002 automatic stock system and they sound great on his car.
If you plan on adding headers in the future (American Racing in particular), you may want to rethink the Borlas and start right out with something like the GHL's.

Thanks for all your responses, it appears that it will be GHL as the winner. 
I would not ad headers on the car, but the sound of the original exhaust is simply too boring.
I only use the car in the summer period and it never come out in the rain, so I could live with a little drone, if it should be.
Very best regards

Ive never seen a borla system that ive been impressed with. Lots of good reviews for GHL's on here from both a quality and sound standpoint. If i had to get something besides my B&B Bullets id get GHL's.

I bought my GHL about a year ago through CHIP here on the forum. He offered free shipping at the time but since I was so close to the shop I picked them up and they installed them for $75. They are a small shop. I wondered why they are not available through all the catalogs that we get through the mail. They simply cannot build them that fast to keep up with the demand. I love them and am really glad that everyone doesn't have the them. Everyone has their opinion but these are sweet. I want to let you guys know how great they are but I hope I don't start seeing them become too popular as I love the unique sound.

Borla vs ghl
DAVE68 said it best (reply #21).
I have LG Streets, Stingers and a Blackwing intake.The sound is sweet. Drone.... what drone! Loud? Yep-but only when you get on them. GHL and STINGERS are close in sound quality, but the stingers have a deeper note. All Vettes look badazz. Stingers make them sound badazz!!!!
Unless something better is developed, I'm with the Stingers for life!!!
