Help - Which Borla do I have?
I just purchased a 2005 C6 and it already had a Borla catback and what looks like an x-pipe as well. 
It sounds slightly louder than stock so I'm assuming it's the less aggressive one but I haven't heard any others to compare. Anyone know how to figure out which model I have? ...wondering if there are serial numbers stamped onto the pipes or mufflers anywhere. I looked around but couldn't find any. Here's a pic:
Also, while looking under there noticed two missing bolts that connect the black plastic rear fascia piece to the frame. I was hearing some rattling while going over bumps and think this might be the cause. Anyone know what size these are? Here's a pic from one side of the bracket with the missing bolt. It's just above the two right side tips.

The touring are bigger; the stingers are generally smaller (the muffler can, that is). I agree; probably touring. I think the round the above poster was referring to was the muffler, not the tips.
I had some rattling when my clamps were hitting something. They use a circular clamp that ratchets (don't know what it's called) that can be turned to face down rather than up; just lift the car, loosen the clamp, turn it and tighten. See if it works.
congrats on the car!!!

thanks for all the replies!... my guess was touring because I've heard the stingers on c5's and they are much louder. Either way, I do like the sound of these over the stock c6 exhaust.. it was a nice little bonus when buying the car since that was a mod I planned on anyway
