The new S-Type 2's will be much tamer than the classics, also known as Stingers. My experience with the stingers is that they have a great sound, but can be very loud and drone badly, especially if your car has been modified. Think of drone as a constant resonance (pretty much a loud hum inside the cabin) at certain RPM's, usually most pronounced and annoying when cruising down the highway. It bothers some people more than others. The new s-type 2's are supposed to eliminate this drone, but I have no experience with them to confirm Borla's claim on that.

I hope this helps. I had the Borla’s S Type 2 on my 2004 Z06 and I also have headers. Sold the Borla and put my Ti’s back on. Did not like how loud it was in the car.

Yes it does. Its a nice weather weekend only car. Not a lot of long trips. I am looking for more of that muscle car sound. Just personal pref. Thank you!
