Installed Borla Cat-Back--Holy Crap!
WOW...that's all I can say. Just got my Borla Cat-Backs with Stingers welded on today--didn't want to use the clips...wanted it sealed tighter than...well, you know. Un f'n believeable! Amazing sound. There is drone at 1,500 to 2,000 RPM, but I like the drone. I didn't buy it for a quiet family sedan, after all! I'm very psyched...sounds like a true muscle car and very aggressive. Best choice I could have made!!!

Probably should not have welded them in. The clamps when used properly are more than enough.It will make removal of the exhaust for any reason a real PITA and you may end up having to cut them off.

This is a pretty cood video/sound clip of the Stingers side by side with stock on S197.

Weird the guy changes the camera (and sound recorder of course) when he adds the "Pypes O/R H-Pipe" so you really can't compare that...

don't plan to remove it...so nope, it was the right decision. Plus, in TX, can't pass inspection unless exhaust is welded in.

Bizarre... the factory mufflers are not welded on anyway.
