Default Just Added Borla - Whew!!
We added the Borla Stingers this weekend to the baby.
She has a mean growl now, and they big thing I noticed was now it does not "Choke" when moving up the gears.

We installed the Blackwing first and we started to get the pause / choke between gears.

I think now it is gone with the addition of the Stingers.

Secondly, my Dad had his stock 02' next to mine and I told him start his engine so we could hear the difference. He gave me the look of a spooked cat and said his car was running.

The sound is very deep and the cabin noise is a bit more, but it sounds really nice, not like the coffee can fart mufflers!!!!

Happy Snake Hunting -

Doc
