Thoughts or advice on this please. I'm in the UK and bought it on a well known auction site. Billed as C5 Borla Stinger but no rear silencers. The seller now has a C7 I have no reason to doubt his description. Does it look like it is a Borla ok, and any ideas on my getting silencers I can be sure will fit it? I'm obviously happy to contact suppliers to see if they'll post to the UK but would like to know what to ask for! Also interested in what fitting parts might be needed. Thanks

It looks like normal exhaust line to me But I am not sure. The particularities of exhaust systems is mostly in the muffler, the tips and sometimes the x line. In this case it is a h like standard lines, without muffler...difficult to say. The OEM is welded on the muffler to the pipes before the axle, so this is obviously after market.
you should look for the mufflers....
I said in my post it was billed as not having the rear mufflers/silencers with it. Surely the mufflers incorporate the tails?
You purchased the "axle back" pipes but are missing the muffler/tailpipe/tips part of the overall "axle back" system. Probably best to contact Borla. With those pipes, I think (but not sure) that you can add any of Borla's C5 muffler/tailpipe units (Stinger [S-Type I], Touring, Atak, or S-Type II). I have the S-Type II on one supercharged C5 Corvette and the Atak on the other supercharged Corvette. Stinger and Atak are loud but not absurdly so, S-Type II is moderate volume at idle but somewhat louder at higher RPM, and Touring is wimpy and too quiet, in my opinion. Stinger is more affordable than Atak, but Stingers are always loud whereas Atak is a slightly more subdued at idle but same as Stingers at high RPM. I love the Atak, but some might prefer more subdued level, depending on local decibel law enforcement.
Thanks for all the input above. Much appreciated. That’d be good if I could get a hold of (a choice of..) Borla mufflers/tails. I picked up the above for just over 100 GBP (approx $140) so it seemed worth going for. I’ve not actually unpacked it as it’s well wrapped/packaged up and that’s keeping it safe while I proceed to revive the C5 I inherited last year.
Assuming it is a Borla I assume “Borla” will be stamped on the parts I have?
Is this Borla Stinger
