Congrats! I have yet to hear the stingers. I have heard the XR-1s and did not like them, but I know the stingers are supposed to be 20 times better.

Do you have the 2 tip or 4 tip stingers. I have had both and I noticed that the 4 tips do not stick out as far as the 2 tip.

:iagree:

Now don't go do what I did. I let the wife drive the car at the strip so I could sit up in the stands and see what they sounded like. Now I can't get her out of the drivers seat. :jester

I have the 2 tips and I agree that they stick out a little far but I actually like it. I think it looks very agressive. They are not only obvious to listen to but they are obvious to look at. And thick. Women love them :cool: They are begging to be heard and seen. :steering:

Howdy:

Congrats on the Stingers.

I have the same setup as you, A4/G92, and was wondering if you have audible/annoying resonance or droning and at what RPM.

Also, how many miles on your Stingers?

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year,

Jack

We've had the two tip Stingers for about 6 months now and just love them more and more every day! Awesome to say the least.
