Default frpp gta/borla stingers

i know y'all have talked about frpp duals package mufflers being borla-made, but are they 'borla stingers'?
and are they the same as gta's?
sorry if i'm reiterating. thanks(:

no the stinger and the gtas are two different mufflers. the stinger is a straight throught muffler from what ive heard with a six you may or may not depending on who you talk tolose alittle low end torque with the stingers but the gtas will give u all the backpressure u need for the 6cyl they are kindof like a gt take off but a whole lot better in my opinion. The gta is not a straight throught muffler ive got them on my car and they sound fantastic i def recommend them. and they are not the stingers in the frpp package they are gta and i believe borla made them also. but i could be wrong

i have the stingers and haven't seen any significant loss in any low end torque. In fact, I haven't noticed any...definitely sounds better than the GTAs

GTAs are made by Supreme.

I think they're nice and I get compliments on the sound.

I've had GTAs (in my possession, not actually on the car) and I've got Borla Stingers and an X-pipe on there now. The Stinger tips also look nicer.

And they sound pretty damn wicked. Probably about as nice as you'll ever get a stock V6 to sound without some supercharger whine or whatever to back it up.

I had Stingers and an H pipe for a short while and there was definitely a bit of torque loss, but with the X pipe there is no such issue.

And yeah GstangT, they drone. But when you're climbing through the RPM range they sound beautiful, definitely worth the bit of drone. It's not overly horrible anyway.

I've gotten a lot of looks at WOT with my Stingers on, and I pulled into a gas station behind a GT with the Cervini side-exhaust (which sounds very loud and generally pretty damn amazing) and the guy said "Wow, I've never heard a V6 sound like that before!"

Absolutely can't go wrong with the Stingers. On the down-side, they're kind of expensive, but whatever, it's a one-time mod. Just go for it.

FRPP kit comes with GTAs. The GTAs are not made by Borla. Borla makes the FRPP stingers.

Does FRPP have any kits where I can buy the Stingers and the mid pipes and X-pipe needed to fit my V6. They have a very nice package for the V6 with GTA's, but I don't see anything with the Stingers.
