Default Borla stingers installed

I finally got them in and installed them last night. They sound great! Not very much more resonance than the stock mufflers. They even make my friend's ZO6 sound whimpy! :steering: :party: :cool:

...much better sound than the Z06 titaniums, IMO. The low rumble at startup is unmatched by any other exhaust system - I love em! :thumbs:

OHHHHH BAAAAABYYYYYYYYY!! Installed the 4 tip stingers this morning and am kicking myself for not having done it sooner. That sound is enough to give ya a C5 woody :rofl: If anyone is on the fence on this mod I would recommend taking the plunge. You will wonder why you waited.

They really are just an awesome system. Looks great, saves a ton of weight, added some real RWHP and the sound is music!!! No wonder LPE has named them the system of choice. :yesnod:
