I got the hat too. I like it the bill is pre bent. No flat crap you have to break in. It's black w/ BORLA in white letters and exhaust written in white on a red background. The button is red and the holes in the top are stiched in red. Only thing I would change is get rid of the 1 800 go borla stitched in red on the back. Great hat though.

Oh, and the stingers rule!

Real happy with mine too. Does anyone have before and after dyno numbers with the Borla stingers??

I roll down the windows to listen to them at 3,000 rpm+.

We sent out all the Caps we had,even dug into the Borla,Baer,Optima etc... stash.We need to order more but we will have to wait till more $$$ comes in as things are slow in the parts biz but cant complain about the modding part.We seem to get alittle more every day thank G-D.Of course when we buy caps there about 8+ pesos embroidered and only the BEST.Dave S.

Did you put on an xpipe with it? I've got the stingers and love them, but I would like to eliminate the popping and resonance.

I personally LOVE the popping. I think it adds to the intimidation factor. I don't have any resonance. Just one loud sweet exhaust.

Popping? Sounds more like drum beats to me. :D
