Default BORLA MUFFLERS?

I am going to order the rear exhaust for my 07 stang in the next week. In a month or 2 I will order the long tubes and high flow cat set up with mid pipe.

MY QUESTION is Which Borla Mufflers<<<?????
I see some called Stingers. (kinda long skinny ones)

And I see some called Borla Axel back (Regular style mufflers)
Which is better for the Later install of the LT headers? and Remember I don't want screaming annoying just a nice Deep Mustang sound with Great performance flow.Kinda like the old 2 chamber Flowmasters used in the old 85 to 93 stangs.(no razzyness or unbearable droaning in the car.)
My wife actually thnks the stock exhaust sound is fine ,so I want to flow a little better for now, and sound better then stock. Just don't want popping and gurggling associasterd with a new car.

Any help is appreciated guys.

Either will be fine from a performance point of view. In fact, even the stock mufflers flow really well. There is no HP to be had from changing out mufflers.

The borla "stingers" (the cylindrical ones) are by far the more popular of the two Borlas. They are loud.

The oval-can Borlas are not much louder than stock.

Also, for these cars the term "axle back" and "mufflers" mean the same thing.

As much as i love my Stingers since you say you want no drone then go with the Oval Borla's. If your willing to pout up with the drone at the 1800-2k RPM mark then get the Stingers. The drone really is not bad and you are not in that RPM range long enough for it to be a annoyance in my opinion.

Another option is to get the stingers and then a set of resonators to kill the drone if it really bothers you that much.

CrazyAl is incorrect The oval-can Borlas are not much louder than stock.
They are definetly louder then the stock mufflers and Have a Beautiful Deep Growl.

I get so many compliments on the sound and watching the heads turn when I give her a little gas and everyone who has been inside for a ride can't belive how great it sounds.

Goto borla's site there should be some sound clips and you can decide for yourself.

If I remember reading correctly, the oval-can are slightly louder than stock and the stingers were louder, throatier exhaust. At least when I was looking to buy them that is the way they were advertised on the different retailers websites.

Buy the FRPP round muffler axle back. They are cheaper ($100-200) and made by Borla. They are loud and the only difference is the size of the tail pipe, 3.5 inches vs. 4 inches.

Pretty sure they are both the same size (4" I believe). The only difference is the logo. I wouldn't say they are "loud" except when you cold start at 5am in an extremely quiet neighborhood.
