Default Borla Stinger vs. Touring

Does anybody have any sounds clips comparing the sound of the Borla stingers and the touring model? I know the stingers are louder - but it would be nice to hear both to compare. Any performance differences between the 2 exhaust systems? I've noticed most talk about the stinger system here and don't hear mention of the touring too often. Borla model numbers are 140038 (4 tip stinger) and 14961 (4 tip touring).

Thanks!

I have the XR-1's (pre-Stinger model that doesn't have the little mufflerets out back). The Stingers sound just as good and mean, without the resonance that the XR-1's suffered. I've only seen one install of the other design, and that was several years ago, however, I was underwhelmed by the alignment (or lack thereof) of the tips and the exhaust note was pretty lame. You'll see no appreciable power differences from either system - they're a look and sound option. Good luck.
