The whole point of this thread was to see which was louder, B&B prt or borla stingers on a h/c long tube. I went ahead and took the prt's off my car today and put the stingers on. IMO the stingers sound much better. They are quieter, have a deeper tone and have the some amount of drone. The drone isn't excessive like many people are saying, it's only between 1400 and 1700 rpm like Tom Keitzer stated.

To me the prt's sounded awesome if what youre looking for is an exhaust that sounds like it wants to kill babies. The singers are still loud but its tasteful. Its what a Z06 is supposed to sound like.

I have the prt's now on my car and am considering going with the stingers. I like the way my car sounds but the neighbors do not share my opinion.
Hey Nate B
I have never really compared the two side by side to see which is quieter however with the way the PRT is designed I would say that the PRT may be a little quieter at low rpm's than the stinger.
