Default New Borla Stinger Cat back
Just a quick start up and a couple of short revs. Borla had an open house today with free install.

They put a stinger CB on (w/ a catted UPR X pipe). I don't want to hear any **** about my chicken legs either....

Sounds awesome bud. I basically turned my Loudmouth into stingers by replacing the resonator with a 15" Borla XR-1 muffler, the same muffler used on the Stinger c/b's. Cobras sound so awesome with them.

You know, Redfire has kind of grown on me. My cousin had a Redfire 03 w boltons and a Whippled Sonic blue one as well with 621 rwhp (Redfire550hp on SVTperformance). The more I see that color especially with a a nice set of wheels, the more I like it.

honestly, it wasnt my first choice. I wanted Silver, but I could find one with low miles. I bought this one in March 2005 w/ 5600 miles on it. I had a Red 00SS and swore I would never buy another red car again, you see how that worked out for me.

Absolutely beautiful. Now get the goddamn WOT vids up. What kind of numbers does she put down? I am assuming in the range of 580-620 rwhp.

The upper pulley looks pretty big. I'm going to guess it's making
17psi and 575rwhp.

I LOVE stingers on any car, ZO6 especially. I dont care who you are, you have to admit. Mustangs always have a great sound. How do you take something beyond perfection? Supercharge it and throw on a stinger CB. Wish they made it for our cars. I love that high pitched (comparibly ) v-8 sound!

Close... I made those numbers with 15# of boost. (stock 3.5" upper and 2# lower). I stuck with the stock upper because of belt slip.

I just added a 4# lower and some Torco car made 607/586, but the weather has been a little colder than usual here.
