the stingers and lm2 sound about the same. You're going to have that pop machine gun sound with either when you let off the gas under hard acceleration. If you like the chambered sound you have now and only want more volume, you should look into either 1 chamber flows or spintechs.

How do these compare? O/R X w/ SLP LM1's vs O/R X w/ Borla Stingers?

I once had SLP LM1's paired with my O/R X and it sounded terrible! It had the annoying machine gun sound around 2,100-ish rpms. I was wondering if the Borla Stinger catback produces the same sound? My Flow 40's aren't loud enough for me and it's starting to sound like there's something loose inside of them, so sometime this spring I'd like to replace them with something. Also, same question with LM2's. Do they have the machine gun sound? Are the Borla's really worth the price?

Thanks

No the Stingers don't sound like **** with an O/R pipe like the LM1s do. They are incredibly loud without cats and are well worth the price. If you don't like the tips, just have them cutt off and replace them with whatever you want at your local exhaust shop.

Anyone happen to know where you can get the stingers with a different set of tips lol?

The catback actually is in 3? pieces. And the last piece is the one that meets right after the axel I believe, and runs out back of the car with the tips.

Im sure you could buy the catback, sell the 2 end pieces for 120 bucks and weld in something new.

Fabricate it I'm sure. People pay good money for a NICE set of 4" Rolled Stainless Steel Tips.

which brings me to my next question.. why don't you like the 4" tips?

Its nothing against you or the people who have stingers its just that they dont look good in my opinion.

Yeah I was thinking that I should probably just look into some 1 chambers.

No, in person it sounded terrible. The camera doesn't pick up on the "machine gun" sound, you can only hear it in person. On video it sounds mean and good.
