Default I got tired of the way it sounds....

So I bought this....

I know it won't add any power over the stock ti catback... but I already added QTP headers, highflow cats and x-pipe.... and it still sounds too tame for me.... so I'm thinking these will do the trick

I'm going to keep it, my dad has an '04 procharged Vette... If I don't like the borla, I'll throw it on his car. If I like the borla, I'll put my old exhaust on his car for him...

I had a hard time deciding between the borla stingers and the B&B bullets.
I went with the B&B bullets, headers and no cats.

Thanks fella's. That video, although it's the first time posting it, is a little old. That was with a 231/237 .598/.599 @ 112 and stock LS1 heads. Car made 400rwhp with stock C5 mufflers. 376 ft-lbs.

I now have a complete LS6, which is in my shop. The heads, or being ported. The block, or shortblock I have,...is gonna get better internals. and Most likely a larger cam. Not sure if were gonna up the cubes or not either.

I do have two large turbo's i'd like to use but,....working on finding or mocking a kit myself. Just soo expensive to find stuff like this for our cars.

Anyways......we'll see how it go's in the future. debateing on nitrous or turbo setup, since the car is as of now outta commision.

I couldn't decide either... I was leaning towards the B&B but I bid on both on ebay.... Got the stingers brand new in box for $450.... THe B&B went for $600... So I took the cheaper one
