It is all relative, anything is loud compared to stock but the Borla Stingers are not loud compared to the BB Bullets. Exhaust notes are like colors, we all have our favorite. Go listen 1st hand or else you will be swapping them out like most of us

Like was said before, MUST hear them in person! Internet clips just aren't good enough.

I just purchased a lessor known brand - Zoomers - and am very happy with them. They have a deep sound, but not too loud. a couple of ticks louder than stock, but much deeper sound. Some drone between 1300-1800 rpm, but nothing that is agravating.

Big plus is that they seem to fill-up the rear section of the car, so there's no need to buy one of those plates to cover up - they just look really nice and fit my needs for a better sound while not being too loud for a daily driver.

Search for "les" he has pics of his posted many places on this forum - haven't taken a pic of mine yet. Very high quality system.

Good luck with your search - there is no lack of info on this forum!

I would like it if someone could point me in the write direction. Maybe even where to buy. Thanks alot.
What you want to ask yourself before buying is how much drone are you willing to put up with. Do you want obnoxious can't talk inside the car type, or very little with a deep rumble and still comfortable inside the cabin.
Let us know and then CF can lead you to your tastes.

X-pipe reduces burble upon de-acceleration, so if you like alot of burble, then don't get an X-pipe, if you don't like it then get an x-pipe
