Nice picture but let's hear your comments on sound and drone. Always wondered what those rectangular tips would look like on a C6. Do you have a picture without the chrome plate across the back.

The stingers have only been on the car two days so its hard to give you an expert opinion. I like the way they sound. Not too loud, but definitely louder than stock. If you are light footed on the gas pedal it will not draw any adverse attention, just sounds strong and powerful(muscle car sound). Stomp it and people will look, although its loud its not ear spliting.(about 1 an 1/2 times louder than astock C6 at WOT) After all the horror stories about drone I have read on this forum I was pleasantly surprised. Only notice it occasionally for a few seconds at a time(somewhere between 1500 and 2000 rmp) when under a load like going up a hill. If you are easy on the gas its not noticeable from 0 up to 60 mph. 60 mph steady state is almost like a stock C6. Have not been on the freeway yet

Do you use put the x pipe on or did you just do the rear section and leave the stock H pipe on?
