Question Which FRRP Axleback should I get?

Stingers or GTA and FRRP X Pipe? The stingers are $30 bucks more than the GTA and X Pipe combined. Give me your thoughts!

Listen to a sound clip of each. I personally would get the stingers, but that is not option for me since I live in CA.

I'm a mess - listened to a ton of utubes and leaning towards stingers or a Corsas. I'm getting a CAI/tune next week and wanted to do all at once. Worried a little about drone as i have a convertable. Also considereing the xpipe but was advised against if I went with Corsa. HELP!!

Not sure about cora with x-pipe, but corsas are not supposed to drone.

Get the Stingers and then get a high flow catted x to compliment them. This will eliminate the trumpets that you'll have if you go with the o/r x. I love the way this setup sounds. Click on my link in my sig to have a listen.

I'm in CA, why is it not an option ?? Is it because they're not 'decibel' legal ?? They aren't that loud as to raise suspicion, unless you go with a O/R pipe then it is LOUD

I had the Pypes offroad H pipe and Borla/FRPP Stingers on my 07 GT. LOUD cold start, quiet at idle (once car was warm), GREAT sound at cruising, and LOUD at WOT.

Best sound, IMO.

I had Stingers and traded them out for the GTAs. The Stingers sounded great most of the time but I couldn't deal with the drone. The GTAs are pretty tame but sound great at WOT and have NO drone.
