Hey all! Just thought I would share my experience with my new Borla Stingers. It took a while to get everything bolted up and straight, but all is well on that end. However, after taking a trip last week, I found the drone to be way more than I expected. I have an automatic and around 60 mph (just under 2000 rpm), the drone is horrible! My wife wanted the car louder, but she says she can't stand the drone. Maybe we will get used to it? Is there anything I can do to reduce the drone? H-pipe maybe?

Ain't loud mufflers wonderful ? Put the old mufflers back, it's already got an "H" pipe.

I don't mind loud but eardrum piercing is not preferred! Maybe I will just have to get a louder stereo! LOL!

Magnaflows

I installed the Magnaflow catbacks with a Magnaflow x-pipe w/cats. I'ts louder than stock and at 60 there is no drone. I love this setup couldn't be happier.

It seems that with any given muffler, Automatic GTs drone noticably worse than manuals. Imco even has specific mufflers for Autos vs. manuals.

Many people have put a bunch of dynamat/quietcar in their trunks and under the rear seats to reduce the interior drone, with good results...

4.10 gears. No more drone at 60! I personally recommend it because I have the same setup!

I've got the stingers and O/R X pipe, the drone starts at 2600rpm for me. Actually helps me keep it under 75mph.
