Default Borla Stinger dual-tip question

I have decided on an exhaust. Borla stinger dual-tip. (in part due to cost). I have found a place that sells it for $621 w/ no shipping/handling fee. DIRECT SOURCE OUTLET in San Diego. Corvette Fever mentioned them in an article. Lingenfelter apparently endorsed this exhaust as well. It was this or Corsa Touring for me. Can anyone tell me if Direct source Outlet is reputable? Is there anywhere else to get the Borla cheaper, other than Ebay. I want a NEW exhaust.

I bought mine from eBay brand new with Borla's million mile warranty, no worries. Paid $585 plus free shipping. It came in a huge box and professionally packed with the Borla documentation, warranty, installation instructions, stickers etc.

Stingers are just the best, IMHO. You will love them, no matter who you buy them from

Here are some clips

Enjoy

My experience exactly. I think even though I bought mine on ebay they were from a Forum vendor.

$621 without shipping is an absolute rip off. I PM'd ya with a much better price.

Stingers are AWESOME......you'll love them. And personally, I prefer the dual tips too......sets you off from the "4 tip crowd" and gives it bit more of an "All Business" look.

As others have said I think you can beat the price from most other vendors though. I got mine for $589 + free shipping from PFYC.com (which has simply outstanding customer service).
