Stingers..FRRP or Borla...which to choose?

Oh, alright, so I changed my mind again. There seems to be an awful lot of people who like these stingers, so I'm going to join their ranks.

Best prices I've found so far:
Borla stingers $505.07 w/free sh
FRRP stingers $429.95 +20 sh =449.95

From what I've read they are pretty much identical, or is there a difference in quality?

So, do you think the Borlas are worth the extra $55.00???

For that money, get the real deal....... Borla all the way. Better looking tips too IMO.

You should be able to get the FRPP Stingers from John Bleakley Ford for a lot less....I think they were going for around $350.

The Borla's also come with the Lifetime/Million Mile Warranty. Something the FRRP do not have.

That alone is worth the extra money and piece of mind to me.

You can't go wrong with either one. I've had Borlas on a Cobra and the FRs on the GT500, I've been completely satisfied with both. I would assume that in similar application the Borlas will be a bit louder.

Yeah, BOI was the place I had found the best price at for the FRRP stingers $429.95....that was until 2005sonicBOOST said he had gotten his for $350 at John Bleakley Ford.

Can anyone tell me where John Bleakley Ford is located?
Thanks

I've got the frpp stingers. Tips are full of soot and discolored. If you get a new set, try to keep up on cleaning as much as possible.

I like my FRPP. I wanted Borla cuz I like brand names, but it didn't justify the extra $100-200 for the same sound.
