I've got them. Had them 3 years and I'm tired (read exhausted) of the drone. They sound pretty good outside, but on a road trip, say
2-3 hours or so, and you and your loved one will get tired of practically yelling at each other. Am looking for something quieter now.

Thanks for the info, I've heard the Corsa's are the best to go with if you do not want the drone

I just sold my Touring. There is some drone, but it is so minimal that it is really not worth mentioning and that is with headers and no cats.

I got the stingers now. There is some drone here but it is not annoying on short trips.

Have a Borla Touring setup circa 1999. They are definitely louder then stock. Came with my '99 coupe when I bought it in January. There is some drone at times but it doesn't bother me - and I'm not getting any younger. I'm happy with it 75% of the time. The other 25% I wish is was louder. Really like the looks with the quad 4" tips. Am up in the air on what to do. Wouldn't mind something a little louder and more agressive but without the drone problem - if that is even possible. Have wheels to get next so that will be down the road.
