I think there is a Borla exhaust catback called Stinger and I hear that they're pretty good.

I'm looking for a low deep muscle car sound and already have an o/r h-pipe. I wasn't sure which will give me the sound that I need.

I've heard that magnapacks are somewhat quiet at idle, but when punching the gas, loud. Borla Stinger seems to give a louder rumble sound at idle.

any comments and help will be appreciated. thnx.

The Magnapacks sound pretty good. Just a little louder than stock with an O/R H. The Borla Stingers give an even deeper sound and are fairly quiet at idle. I like them both but the Magnapacks are good for the price.

Packs + O/R pipe = Just a little louder!?!?

My friend has a Bassani catted X and packs on his '98 Cobra......that sucker roars.

yeah i think coramprat means the reg. magnaflow mufflers

the packs are a lot more aggressive and when paired with a midpipe they must scream

Magnapacks

They're barely louder than stock at idle but on the throttle they really open up. WOT is just sick.
