I have GHL's with four 3.5 inch polished tips. Looks and sounds great. No resonance to speak of. Sounds closer to Borlas than anything else I've heard. To me, they are polished Borlas without resonance.

I also have GHLs with four 4" polished tips. Best aftermarket exhaust I have owned. No resonance (std. w/Borlas) great sound is similiar to 60's big block sound and best HP gain per LPE (only system they now install on their TT packages, they use four 3 1/2" bullseye polished tips which look great too).

Corsa Indy for a no resonance sound. It's kind of medium pitched...or the B&B PRT's, a low muscle car sound that screams at WOT.

I like the sound of the B&B PRT's other than the stock Ti's. I have heard that the Borla's have too much cabin resonance and that's not what I'm after. I'm still shocked at how great (and loud) the stock Ti's sound at WOT.

I have the Corsa Ti on order, but the sound of those Stingers
are really awesome!

Has anyone out there heard the Corsa Ti AND Borla Stingers?
Maybe give an opinion of the two. Thanks.
I have Stingers and another local member has Corsa Touring's. Of the two the Stingers are louder and definitely more evil sounding.

I am not sure yet. I would like to scare up some money for drag radials since I have the rims available.

The stock system sounds good but the after market ones sound great.I can't decide between B&B PRT and the SLP loudmouth.

I've only heard the SLP Loudmouths on a F Body. I wonder if the sound the same.....I loved em. The PRT's...well, they are also awesome. Tough call.

I debated and debated and debated. Not necessarily on which aftermarket unit, but whether to change the stock catback at all.

Well, I plunged and had some oval quad tip stingers installed this morning. They're not near as obnoxious as I thought they'd be. No resonance at 70 on the freeway. Incredible rumble under throttle.

I'm really pleased. I will try and get a sound clip later today.

I just got done putting the 2 tip stingers on my car and I must say they sound pretty sweet. Of coarse I added TPIS long tubes also. It's like music to my ears
