Default Finally sounds like a Corvette should

I finally got my Borla 60547 X-pipe installed as well as my Bill Boat Bullet Axel back. Very happy with the outcome

Not yet but I will take one by the end of the week and post it up. Not as load as I actually thought it was going to be which is nice actually. Was a little worried it was going to be too loud when I ordered it but I'm very happy.

I threw on the Borla X-pipe on Thursday. Reasonably happy. I did not want this car to be too loud because my girl actually likes it. My other car (SRT 392) is stupid loud and she (and just about everyone else) hates it.

Too funny, I'm looking at getting a Scat Pack Challenger to add to my collection. How do you like it?
I ordered my car without the NPP option because I knew I was going to change out the exhaust to exactly what I wanted. I had the Billy Boat Bullets on my C5 and loved them so I went with them again.

No she's awesome and I wouldn't have either car if it wasn't for her.

The SRT is stupid loud and I kinda sorta regret what I did but too late now. The Z06 sounds good with the Borla x-pipe and I have and AFE Momentum GT intake coming for it so that might give it a bit more aggressiveness too.

She sounds like a keeper. My wife is great about car addiction, for 30+ years. Put a ring on her man and enjoy the ride.

I have the Charger, not the Challenger but pretty much the same car. Mine is actually an SRT 392 which they don't make anymore. The Scat Pack with all the performance options gets you there though, I think.

It's a great car and really I thought it was the limit until I got my Z06. I'm probably the only dude on the planet that has an SRT 392 as a 'winter beater'.

Everyone ***** all over Dodge but these cars are bulletproof. Fun, fast, great handling, nicely optioned. No worries. Fuel and oil and rubber and that's it. I'm on my 4th Charger; one R/T, one SRT8 and two SRT 392's. I put over 100,000 miles on my SRT8 and sold it in pristine condition 4 years ago and the guy that bought it is still driving it.

She's awesome. I've spent a small fortune on cars since we've been together and her mantra has always been; "if you're happy then I'm happy". It's doesn't get better than that.

I love Dodge, have a 2017 Ram and a 2018 Grand Cherokee. Been driving Mopars and Vette's basically my whole life and never had a problem with either. Well my 1997 Ram shitted the water pump at 128,000 but I guess I can't complain too much since thats the only issue Ive ever had. Thanks for the info. I have been itching hard for one but justifying the money has been the difficult part lol.

Thank you sir, I am very happy with the outcome for sure. Aside from voiding my warranty I don't think I even want to do headers, sounds perfect in my opinion.

Have both the Challenger Scat Pack (Wifes) and the '19 Grand Sport for the weekend. I think the Vette is much louder than the Scat Pack stock. The Challenger has a nice throaty sound where the Corvette has a more sharper rumble. I can get on the Challenger and heads don't turn as often as they do when I get on the Vette. With that said the Challenger is a much more comfortable ride with a great stance...still can't believe how low these Corvettes are when sitting in traffic staring at the hub of a 4x4!

For me the borla x pipe made a big difference...sounds like a stingray should...especially at WOT
