I originally bought some flowmaster hp2 mufflers for my stinger and the drone is awful, it vibrates the entire car. I got so tired of this so I purchased the borla system and its on backorder. Am I still going to get that interior vibration and drone with the borla system?
There was never any vibration type drone, I have experienced that unpleasant drone in other cars before- No, nothing like that. And it never was a long extended noise (I hate calling it drone). I heard it described as the motor comes "on the pipe", a harmonic noise that I thought was sweet but too much of. So I kinda followed Sarge and others damping and sound-proofing my Stinger. Between the sound work and the exhaust mellowing, I get more complements than any car I owned before. I love it and do not regret the purchase- but it took a few hours of easy work making my car right for it.
EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE. To me the Stinger is not the car for an obnoxious LOUD exhaust, the Borla is not that type loud, by any means.
I probably made the Borla noise level appear worse than it was. The LOUD that bothered me was the dB level that reverberated into the cab as you aggressively ramp the rpms through 1900-2400 or so. The motor then is really happy, as is the driver when pushing it. But this exhaust really was not loud outside, sounds pretty exotic (as others often say). I say it pairs up well with MY Stinger.
Be ready to do a little sound control work around the spare tire housing, I think this work made mine very pleasant. Nothing rattling...
It is still LOUD when I push the LOUD pedal... Not TOO LOUD
