Sounded great at idle or 1/4 throttle, anything more a sound awful. Way to raspy and obnoxious, people staring at you when you are going 30 mph like "WTF can you make that any louder?" Louder not always better.
Borla stingers too loud?

I'm running Bassani Mids, Bassani O/R X and Stingers and I have started thinking the same thing when I cruise around town. Then again, I do love the sound when going WOT.
Ben, I have Mac LT's, O/R X, Stingers and I have never once been pulled over in the two years I have had the setup.
The video in my sig is when I had the Stingers with a catted Magnaflow X on the car. I thought it sounded really nice.
Here's a comparison of my car. The camera's are about the same distance away from the car.

I have the set up on my cobra, not too loud and sounds pretty mean imo.
I'm running Bassani o/r X pipe and Borla Stingers. Not too loud at all. Love it

Really huh? God I really want the sound of the offroad X and stingers!!! Its good to hear that you haven't got pulled over. I think I will stick with the plan of just buying the stinger catback and putting it on with my catted bassani, and if I don't like it I will throw the offroad X. I see many people going with the upr one, but I've also seen some "leak issues" with these as well. The prochamber also seems to be a popular choice.
After watching this thread, you guys made me take off the high flow cats and put the hollowed out ones that came on the car ha. Its raining out so I cant drive it on the road but, its sounds awesome in the garage!. Now since I have both, I can jut swap them in and out!
If you want the nice tuned tone of the stingers cut the tip off and have a tip welded on much closer to the size of the pipe. I have a bassani x, no cats and couldnt stand the crackle rasp . I took the tail pipes off one day to polish them again and found it had a much more aggressive tone I had been looking for. Its like a big block down low with a real nice higher pitched tuned note from 2k up. Especialy while holding the rpm. I'm much happier with it now, still loud as hell but a much better loud. I'm debating throwing the cats on to see how it sounds.

Only too loud for humanoids.

I remember seeing this vid and almost went with the magnaflow catted x b/c of it but I decided to jump on the bandwagon instead and go with the bassani catted x. lol Can't go wrong with either!
OP, sometimes I think my combo is too quiet but then again, I never hear it from outside the car and I think that makes a big difference. It definitely turns heads though!!
When I rip on it, I know it's not too quiet. I love this combo! I still want full exhaust though!!
I have really been thinking recently about going to the Borla Stingers, but wish it came in a 3" and didn't have rolled tips! :cuss: My car actually sounds pretty good IMO with the flowmasters and O/R H, but I too am just trying to go louder and understand that louder isn't always better. I guess my goal is to go as loud as I can without it sounding "bad" (very subjective I know) I've looked up a bunch of vids online and not too many O/R H Stinger combos out there from what I can find. Plus it's hard to judge how it will actually sound in person from some of the vids you watch. Do you think Stingers with an O/R H will be louder, just about the same, or quieter than an O/R X?
Oh and as far as getting hassled by the police with the exhaust. I think it all depends on where you live, the cop, how strict the PD is in the area(s) you drive in, and most of all how and where you drive it. With that said I think if you use good common sense and watch the places where you really get into and it SCREAMS then you'll be alright IMHO.

I was runing a catted x plus stingers for over a year without being pulled over. I put the stock mid back on for smog and plan on putting o/r x back on soon. It wasnt loud enough with the cats :banana:
mac longtubes, off road x and m55 catback on mine. love the sound wouldnt trade it for anything. really loud but never get bothered by anyone. my friend lives 2 miles away from me and can hear me everytime i elave my house haha. awesome tone at cruising then full on exhaust orgasm at wot haha
If they're too loud, your too old! lol
i have a bassani o/r x with stingers on my mach and i actually want it louder lol
I ran bassini x-pipe with cats to borla stingers for few years in MD, DE, PA etc and only got pulled for speeding. I am about to take the cats off and put the exhaust back on to try it out for a while.
