Default Getting Borla duel tip Stinger

OK finally getting away from stock exhaust. I don't want to do away with cats so I'm thinking of taking out H pipe and changing to X pipe,I've read that this helps the sound. What would ya'll recommend. I'm leaning towards Magnaflow but any recommendations will be considered.

TIA Kelly
:cheers: :cheers:

Guess I should have mentioned that I have the mn6

:flag

Well I got the duel tip stingers yesterday, THANKS Darwin Barbosa, had them installed today. YEEEEE HAAAAAW they sound great!! I haven't done the x pipe yet,just want to get a feel for the sound. I may do that later. Now the vette sounds like it should!

Thanks Kelly

:iagree: stock h-pipe works very good with the Borla 2-tip stingers in my A4 C5. The X-pipe helps the mn6 drivers while they downshifted and decelerated to avoid the popping sounds.

I have had the Stingers installed for about 2 weeks now, and love it. Have MN6 though, could not be happier.

I have had my two tip stingers on for about a month. I am very pleased with them! I have the H pipe on, (as I understand it the 97's have a larger pipe)
At WOT, it is great, and it not much louder than stock at 80! Enjoy your new system! :cool: I bought mine on a GP from Extreme, they have been great to deal with. :cheers:

:cheers: Thanks for the replies,I'm really looking forward to getting them on. A friend has them on his vette and they definatly make a difference in the sound. I guess I need to find a good place to get the x-pipe.

I love this car!!

I have heard both....that the X pipe helps with popping and that it helps somewhat but not completely....I didn't add an X pipe and the pop doesn't bother me...
