Default Buying exhaust, need some info/help

I am buying an exhaust with in the next 2 days. I have a 07 C6 Z-51. I am trying to figure out a package that will work. I'm looking for Borla stinger's with quad oval, any headers, any x-pipe, and cats. Anyone got any ideas on what headers, x-pipe, and cats that are good and about $1000-$1300? Also what is the cheapest place to buy? Would it be better to buy the Borla x-pipe and buy headers and cats separate?

I'm sure you get the idea of what I'm looking for. I'm trying to do my own research but there seems to be about 5 different models of Borla exhaust and several names for each set up (so I'm getting confused). I know I want the stingers. I've heard the touring, ATAK, and stingers. I also had stingers on my C5 and loved them. I got about $2300 for the whole thing. Please can someone help make sense of all this and suggest some parts? THANKS!

I have use the XS Power headers and system on several cars and have been extremely happy with the fit, performance and workmanship!

Contact Forum Member and sponsor SUPERMAN 09 and discuss the system and options.





I installed them in my drive way:

Since you have heard both the ATAK and stingers, how would you compare the two?

I have the stingers and have considered replacing them with the ATAK system.

ATAK is a bit louder but the stinger has a differnt sound. Both dont hve the drone at cruse speed but when you mat it the true sound comes out. I dont know where i found it but there is a video from Borla that they install all 3 systems they have on a Camaro.
