Re: Borla Stinger A/4 owners check in.. (90 droptop)
It's pretty bad. The sound badazz, but my wife doesn't like the car as much now. Also my three year old son covers his ears now (maybe because he sits lower in the seat?).
It's like going from a world class sports car to an olds cutlass with glass packs.
The resonance just ruins the exhaust for me.
Again, they sound badazz from the outside, unfortunately I sit inside. :crazy:

I don't have them on a vert, and I have 3.15 and the resonance is not bad at all. I just had TTS longtubes installed this weekend and am working through a couple issues with those and once that is done I can let you know if they resonate with headers or not. I'll tell you this much. Ole Maggie sounds friggen WICKED :reddevil now!!

I ave Borlas 2 tip Stingers on a Pace Car and they are awesome. My 4 and 6 year old love the sound and want more. Everyone thinks the looks and sound is awesome. Don't let anyone tell you other wise until you auctually hear them yourself--Good Luck P.S The car is an automatic :smash: :hurray: :party:

I got Borla Stingers 2 tips on my A4. I didn't hear any resonance, maybe because I turned the radio too loud? I could still hear the deep tone at WOT though :)

The resonance on my A4 with 3.15 plus Corsa x-pipe is pretty bad, so I´m trying to change to GHL, but still need answers whether resonance vanishes or not.

I have Stingers and a Bassani X-pipe on my A4 with 3.15 gears and have no resonance. I have had this setup for six months now and often wish it were louder!! At WOT it sounds very exotic -- not at all like an Olds with glass packs. :thumbs: :cheers:

Just installed the Stingers on my A4 vert with 3.15s and have noticed no resonance. I had the Stingers on my '01 coupe with 2.73s for two months and noticed no resonance either. Love my Stingers! :D
