I stumbled upon these when i was looking at getting the borla stingers....

I believe they are the same as the 2 and 4 tip stingers....

The only thing i worry about is the resonance.....i had straight pipes on my lt-1 and it really had an annoying drone at certain rpms.....

Just go for the two tip stingers.....I love mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 inch tips look bad a$$ w/ the chrome exhaust plate

Default I used to have a set on my car.

They sound bad azz. Loud as hell. But I also had a set of B&B Bullets that I had at the same time so I switched them out. I was going to see which set I liked better. I like both but the Borla Straight Pipes I think are louder but they have a different tone. Everyone that heard the Borla Straight Pipes and then the B&B Bullets said they love the sound of the B&B Bullets. I had the B&B PRT's before and I wanted the loudest system possible so the B&B Bullets in my opinion are the best yet. Nice tone and people hear me when I drive by. But one time I got pulled over by the cops for speeding and he told me that his attention was caught by how loud my car was with the Borla Straight Pipes. So its up to you but they are both sweet sounding exhaust systems.

Borla part number 12649 with 2 1/2 inch pipe and the same tips as the 2 tip stinger. This kit is very loud as you can imagine.
