Save your money.

I had B&B PRT on my '01, and went with Stingers on my '04 and honestly, I can't tell the difference.

Now, to be fair, I sold the '01 before buying the '04, so didn't have a head to head comparison, but I didn't sense much difference.

Now my Dad had PRTs on his '01 and drove in my '04 and said he could tell a difference (a bit louder and deeper) but honestly? ...shrug...

If you can get a good price on your PRT takeoffs ok, but if it were ME, I wouldn't spend the money.

Just my opinion.

i traded a set of PRT's for quad stingers. I like the sound of the PRT's but i really like the tone of the stingers. Just a preference i suppose. Bot are loud but with a different tone.

I would keep what you have. I went from Stingers to PRT's, the PRT's have less drone.
