I've had mine on for about 6 months now. Absolutely love them. I put the Xpipe on as well. No drone - bad azz sounding deep tones and unbelievable at wide open throttle.
I have a couple of sound/vid clips of another forum member who has them on their car on my website. www.nerdonwheels.com - look under the 'Mods' section then under Borla.

I had the Borla Stingers on my car (05 Z51 MN6) for about 5 weeks. My car is a dialy driver and they sounded great but were just a little too loud for my taste. I took them off and put a set of Borla Touring on and I find them to suit my taste perfectly. If you want my stingers send me a PM they are like new.

I have them and love them; no x-pipe. Sounds mean, I describe it as 'muscle with attitude'! 
Great burble on deceleration.
However, they're on a convertible, and I drive with the top off 98% of the time. When I do have the top up, the drone at 1600 rpm's bothers me and I have to wonder if I'd tolerate them in a climate where my top was on more than off.

If you have a club in your area, you might want to check with the members to see if anyone has them so that you can listen in person. There will be both at Bloomington, and the Museum event as well. Borla is usually at those events and does installs there too.

Have had borla stingers for two month and love em. Not much louder than stock unless you are under a load(like going up hill) If you drive easy its just a good muscle car sound. WOT is a different story(Bad!)

I've had the Borla Stingers for probably 6 months now and I love them. No complaints. Car is my daily driver but the note of the system is not too loud with the windows up. WOT through a tunnel with the windows down is

I've had the Borla Stingers for about a month with headers, no cats and the drone around 1600 rpm is tough to deal with during stop and go Dallas traffic. I'm switching to GHL tomorrow.
Otherwise, I love the sound.

Stingers on for 3 months, LT's, hi flow cats, x-pipe and the sound is awesome. For some, the 1600rpm drone can be too much but not for me. The wife is OK with it too and she is the only other person's input that matters.
