Default Borla Stinger for 98 C5 A4

Does anyone have a borla stinger on there A4 C5? I'm trying to get an idea of how loud this thing is at WOT, cruising, etc..... Any power increases?

I don't want an exhaust that overwhelms you while cruising on the highway.

this is NOT for the car in my sig.

I had them on my car. I have quite a few mods including long tube headers and am making 400 rwhp. On my car it was WAY too loud at cruising. Had a spot, I forget what rpm but it was highway cruising, where the resonance was so bad I would not take the car on the highway. I have switched to Z06 Ti exhaust. I have lost some MPH in the quarter but not enough to make me switch back. I would much rather have the quite Z06 Ti exhaust

I'm running the Corsa Indy's with LT's and no cats and love them. The Borla's seem to be a good choice as long as you are not going to switch over to headers. Most folks seem to think they are to loud after that. After hearing the difference headers made in my Corsa's, I would tend to agree.
