Default Borla Stinger Catback

Hello all,

Just got my first Corvette back in July 02 and finally looking to make some upgrades. My first consideration was the Borla Stinger, I have read good things about it and know the company makes some good products, however, wanted to know if anyone has one on their cars and how they thought the Stinger was????
:confused:

Welcome to the Forum :cheers:

I've got Stingers too and love them. Might I suggest you consider a new air intake and xpipe to round out the package :yesnod: . Your LS1 will thank you for it.

I see you're in PC... :cool: :cool: I pretty much grew up there. My dad flew out of Tyndall AFB (post 'Nam) until he retired. The folks just recently moved to Mobile to be nearer to the rest of our family. Man, I'm gonna miss having "free" room & board on the Beach :cry :cry

Welcome again and get some pics up of your ride :D ;)

I have mine and I am satisfied, but not as happy as most. I had MAJOR fitment issues, and although I finally got the clearance issues fixed, the tips still aren't quite right. I love the sound, but it might be too much for everyday, especially in a convertible. The farthest I have travelled was a 6 hour trip, and by hour 5, my head was pounding from the resonance. And I thought I liked a loud exhaust. But, when you figure in the price (at least the original price) it is still the best exhuast deal out there.
