I had them and took them off after one summer. Too much drone for me since I put the cam in it.

I have the Stingers quad tip as I love that look and as for the sound...I'd rather not drive a Vette anymore if it didn't sound the way she does. I love them and wouldn't change them ever.

I wouldn't give up mine for any amount of money! They are by far the best sounding cat-backs I've ever heard.

Might also want to listen to a set of B&B Bullets just for a comparison. Either system will give you a much better, and louder, sound.

My car came with a set of the Borla Quad-Round stingers. I have not even gotten a chance to see if there is an X-Pipe under there or not, but I can say that the sound is ROWDY compared to my buddy who has the stock exhaust on his car. It does sound deep at idle, especially when cold, and at cruise, 70 mph+, it quiets down some, but otherwise, it is much deeper and louder than stock.

I will probably be trading my Borla Stinger system out for a Ti setup as there is NastySVT who is a few towns away from me and the next nice day/week, I'll let him see/hear my system and hope he can both take out and install the Ti setup for me to quiet my car down a bit.

They do look good;



They sound good, but I value peace and quiet nowadays;
