Default STINGERS BABY!!!!!

Yesterday I just replaced my B & B exhaust with a quad tip BORLA STINGER EXHAUST. All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a difference. They sound like music to my ears compared to those B&B's.

Just wanted to brag a little. I know there are better exhausts out there, and the B&B is better put together (fully polished). But Bang for your buck??? STINGERS ALL THE WAY!!!! :party:

:withstupid: Except, I say Borla is the BEST all around exhaust system with the stainless steel construction, great looks, and superior sound.
Better yet, Lou Gigliotti, LGMotorsports, has given Borla LT Header specifications similar to his custom LT Header system and the same are being mass produced. So, soon the LG Pro LT Headers made by Borla will be available, too. Then, not only will Borla have the best cat back system they will have the best complete exhaust system, from the engine to the rear of the car. :yesnod:

Had 'em. Hated 'em. Paid the vendor to take them back (money well spent).

I've since installed the Corsa Touring kit, and I'm very happy.

Take a nice highway drive at around 70-80 mph with your Borla's, and you'll see the 1600RPM resonance that nearly drove me mad.

Still, if you're happy with them, that's the important thing.

:iagree: First of all, at 75mph my Tach is at 2200rpms. My C5 is an A4 w/3.42 rear. Therefore, my Borla Stinger w/Quad Tips causes no interior resonance to my 2001 C5 Coupe between 70-80mph. I may have a slight interior resonance at 1600rpms but not enough to bother me or my passenger. Besides, I usually do not cruise at 1600rpms.

:iagree: I have a friend in San Angelo who installed Stingers along with Lingenfelter charger, head work, etc. All I have to say is...wait 'til you do some mods. Then you'll really hear that Borla. Good choice on exhaust.

2KVETT,
I seriously contemplated the Stingers w/quad tips but later decided to order the GHL's w/quad 3.5" Bulls Eye tips. I'm running TPIS Headers, Random Technologies Hi-Flow Cats and X-Pipe so I'll have to let you know how the GHL's sound when I receive them. There's a long lead time and it's only been a couple weeks since I ordered mine.
Glad to hear you like the Borla's.
Take Care!

Day 3 with the new STINGERS and I have noticed very little resonnance. I knew there would be a little but I honestly thought there would be more. It is not bad at all. As far as the 1600 rpm thing, come on!!! Did you buy your vett to drive at 1600 rpm??? I didn't.

The B&B exhaust I changed was the Rt. 66, not the PRT's. I too could not decide between the two because I have a set of B&B shorty headers and I wanted to match. Then I heard the stingers on another car and was sold!!!! In my opinion my vett has never sounded this good. Not to mention the look, the quad tip ovals look very nice and match the rear lights on the car.

This is the way a corvette should sound.
