Halltech Stinger + Borla Stinger 2 tip installed
Just got back from Orange County Corvette. Took about 30 minutes for Sean and Paul to install the exhaust, took about 20 minutes for me to install the Halltech Stinger.
LOVE EM' BOTH! The exhaust is super clean, totally lets out the LS1's hidden rumble. Probably hard to install without a lift. Came safely packaged from Borla, no dents dings or scratches. Car has a quiet rumble at idle (so driving by a cop = take car out of gear) and when running through my 6spd that exhaust came alive. Turned heads all the way home. More than just a seat of your pants feel, car ran much healthier.
Halltech stinger was super easy to install. The online directions at their website were great with color photos to aid the process. One thing, have a set of pliers handy because you will drop the air tube plastic connector inside your airbox. Other than that, getting the Stinger to mate to the air bridge would have sucked had it not been for the clever trick mentioned in the directions of turning the Stinger upsidedown, then turning it clockwise into place above the radiator. Great tip! Pix and sound clip below.

STOCK ON LEFT, HALLTECH ON RIGHT:

Excellent choices! I included that rotation tip in my procedure, many years ago. More tips are here:

Sadly, I must remove my Halltech for a while while I get the car smogged. My Z06 box will be taking its place temporarily.
