Default Mac Axleback vs Borla Stingers

which is louder?

i have the Macs on now but they kind of lose their intimidating sound after 3K RPM.

I heard a guy's Mac's with an ORHpipe, and I was not at all impressed. Borla stingers have the sweetest sound through all rpm ranges. They are really deep and get louder at higher rpms. I highly recommend them. It's the only mod I would not give up....even more so than my CAI/tune.

haha, YES they drone.

I don't mind drone to a certain extent, but sometimes it's like sitting inside of a subwoofer.

i've had a bunch of setups with an O/R pipe and not impressed. there aren't any mufflers that will produce a clean sound without the cats.

i've got the stock H on now, but I'm looking to go with the Stingers and a catted X for a change. should be a happy medium.

God yes do Macs drone!!!
I had MACs; to me the drone was so bad I just hated going through that RPM range.
I switched out for Corsa's and all of the planets went into alignment. [8D]

That is the only thing about the Corsa's, is they are big, but I don't find them to be objectionable.

paint 'em black

I've painted my stockers and my Macs black so far. plan to do the same with the Borlas.. doesn't take long. tape off the tips and use a high-heat spray
