Default Borla Stingers

Well, I just had them installed today on my stock 2002. I love them! I gotta say after reading about drone etc., I don't know what all the fuss is about. And they actually arent as loud as I thought they would be. Just a nice muscle car sound at idle and they wake up when you get on it. They work for me at least.

Put a set of LT headers on, drop the cats, and put a big cam in and see what happens..... On a stock car they sound great. I just traded mine for a set of Ti's. I got tired of not being able to hear my phone ring, use the radio, talk to the person in the car with me, and so on.....I was sad to watch them go, but I like my car alot more now.

I had a set of borlas and thought they were great too. I wanted louder so went to B&B bullets. I couldnt imagine those with headers and cam let alone with out cats

Exactly what I was going to say. Stingers sound great with stock piping in front of them.

Paying $900+ for a cat back and it resonating throughout the car so bad you can't hear your passenger talk at crusing speeds is unacceptable.

Juding by your mods there's no reason your car should drone.

I don't need all that stuff. I'm not a NASCAR fan! I just drive my car for fun.

What does that have to do with NASCAR? I HATE NASCAR with a passion. 600 rwhp is fun too!

I like the sound of mine. I cut a lot of the drone out with some sound deadening from a vendor on the forum and a trunk partition.
