Borla Stingers
Discussion
Where did you all get your Borlas from then? The only thing I prefered on my Cerb over the Z06 was the sound of the zorst. About time I sorted it.
Other than the noise, did you notice any other differences? MPG/MPH? Rumour has it that with a cat-back and Blackwing (or similar) you can possibly liberate a few horses.

Keith Beschi of Eurovettes sourced mine plus x-pipe from a combination of Mid America and Ecklers. He beat US Automotive's delivery time by 5 weeks and I had them within 7 days - the timing with his next shipment fell just right.
I was reading a posting on the Corvette Forum yesterday about extra BHP from aftermarket cat back systems - is it all in the mind?? More noise = more speed?? I doubt if they make any difference at all, it just sounds like they do. My MPG fell dramatically immediately after installation but that was quickly traced to a fault with my auto gearbox - someone had been moving up and down the gears to make even more noise. It would be even worse on 6 speed with all that throttle blipping that you purists simply have to do.
If you get more air in and get more air out you should "liberate some horses". The question is where within the rev range do they appear?? Whether you would notice it on a 405bhp car like yours is debatable.
Got mine from US Automotive too. Yup my petrol consumption went up - something to do with driving around Bournemouth for 3 hours in 1st gear after installation!
Nope no perfromance change and no mpg change but driving style does change and yes mpg drops a bit as a result. They burble on the overrun, at 2 points in the rev range and burble on the upshift so cruising in an economic gear goes out of the window
