Default Borla Stingers installed

Man am I glad I waited until I got 500 miles on my car before I installed my new Borla's. It sounds so good and it is hard to keep out of the throttle.

:cheers: I bought your exact same mill yellow03 z06 two weeks ago today and just put on my borla stingers on tuesday. THey are AGGRESSIVE SOUNDING! What do you think about the cockpit noise. Mine are a little louder in the interior than i was hoping for but think x pipe will help out.

AWESOME CAR! :cool:

They are a lot louder inside than when I had them on my coupe. They sound great if you like it loud!

There is a small tunnel on Murfreesboro Road that goes underneath a taxiway at Nashville International Airport. Every time I go into that tunnel, I enter at about 30mph or so, and I am coming out at 80 or more.
Nothing like Stingers echoing through a tunnel!!!! :steering:

When I was stationed in New York city with the Coast Guard I use to ride a KZ650 with open headers. I use to love to wind it up and listen to the exhaust echo. I bet the Stingers would sound great there also.
