That's correct...Borla = 4" tip, FRPP = 3.5" tip. Also the FRPP tips say "Ford Racing", whereas the Borla tips say "Borla". The name is also on the side of the mufflers. Other than that, I don't think there is a difference......except maybe the FRPP stinger tips stick out a little farther than the Borla ones.

Either way is good. JUST GET THEM!!!!! Sounds smooth, deep, and mean!

That's about the only difference. Aren't FRPP's M-5230-5GT's made by Borla? I could be wrong on this one

For whatever reason, when checking prices when I finally bought my Stingers, the Stingers were a bit cheaper thanBorla. And I like the "Ford Racing" emblem... Sweet sounds, too.

The FRPP M-5230-5GT's are the Stingers. The GTA's are a bit quieter, in between the Stingers and the stock axlebacks.

I just got the Steeda axle-backs and they sound great! Steeda has a 4" tip like the Borlas.

Steeda makes their own mufflers. ...not made by Borla. They are not as deep and pop more.
