Default Borla vs. Ford Racing

I've read the "05-07 GT Exhaust" section and am somewhat sure but not positive about the following:

Is the Borla Exhaust system p/n 11750 the same as the Ford Racing p/nM-5230-5GT (other than the2nd one having the Ford emblem on the tips)? Are these the "Stingers"?

Howarmart,
I see you live in fishers Indiana.I live in Carmel and I had the FRRP stingers put on about a week ago on my Black GT.I have a JLT CA1 with tunes from B@machips like you.I really like those stingers but they do not sound as loud after a week,or may be I am going deaf or just got used to the sound.I see you have the O/R H pipe also.Did that make it louder,deeper and have you ever had problems with the Fuzz? re legal emissions.
Is there anyway I could possibly meet up with you to listen to the sound at your convenience?.I have heard your set up on you-tube,and it does sound really good,but as you know the sound is not quite the same as the real thing

yeah that should be possible...it did get deeper and much louder with the h-pipe.....the stingers will also get deeper and better after some time. I should have some free time next week

Anyone,
I am wondering how I would know if I had a "leak" .I am still convinced that they are not as loud as when the were first on.Also the left and right tips also dont seem to be completely symmetrical
Would they get quieter with a leak? or may be I am just developing an anxiety disorder[&:]

I highly doubt you have a "leak", but if you did they would in fact be louder and not quieter.

Nothing is going to make your mufflers quieter unless you stick a bunch of socks in them.
