Real quick poll for a friend.

He can't decide between Magnaflow Magnapacks or Borla Stingers.

He has an 03 GT with an MAC O/R H.

Stingers are'nt worth $200 more than the Magnapacks, but the 'Packs would probably be rediculousy poppy with an offroad pipe.

+ 1, I tried the packs with the H and didn't like the sound after a few weeks. I have a MAC Catback now and I love it.

Race bullets. No reason to pay more for the same thing, especially a basic muffler design.

posted via mobile device on my last mustang i had mac lt's, mac o/r h and borlas....it was deep and bassy and sounded i vote borla! mangapacks are too quiet to my tasting and i personally dont like magnaflow so im a little bias... oh even my flowmasters pop a little when slowing down, but i kinda like that

Got stingers on my Cobra and I love it. I'm guessing it will sound a little different on a 2V though. Mine isn't "poppy", but it rumbles like a thunderstorm on deceleration, which I love.

I've got packs with a Magnaflow cat'd X and it sounds awesome, no popping sounds or anything. I think the cats really mellow out the sound with the o/r pipe it might get poppy.
