Default Borla Stingers question...

Are they *noticeably* louder at idle than the stock Ti's?

I put a magnaflow X pipe on my Z to get rid of the exhaust jingle. Will they still sound good with an X pipe?

I did the same...Borla stinger and Magnaflo X pipe and love the sound especially now that I've lost my hearing!! Sounds loud at first but then you love it. No regrets after 10k miles.

I just put a borla-x pipe on. I have the dual tip setup and love the way it sounds.
