Sorry Rich but this is business. I will definitely want to check it out. I am never satisfied with what I have...so my wife tells me.

Adding the offroad H got rid of alot of my drone........ however it added trumpeting at 2500rpm during acceleration. Adding resonators took that away; now it's perfect.

I installed the FRPP Stingers early on (25 miles) to replace the factory muff's on advice and council from Bill, thats take-o Bill (aka TacoBill)
I could not be happier. I don't have any drone that I can hear, I'm just over 2k in miles and to be honest I just don't hear any drone.
The sound is fabulous and its great when I fire them up every morning at 5:15AM. The neighbors bust my **** but hey they all have Harley's so they can't say much to me. I just tell them they get free alarm clock service, it does rattle the windows he he

But like I mentioned, once I got the gears, I'm spinning a couple hundred rpm's higher and as a result it has got 100% quieter.
There was some trumpeting too (like Tom said), but it wasn't bad. Like if I had not read about or made aware of it, I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
You're welcome Phil!

Love my FRPP stingers! *takes moment to dream about stingers*
When I'm taking off there's a good bit of floor vibration, and when cruising at around 50-55mph there's a drone, but it doesn't really bother me.
I've heard changing my gears will help, but to be honest, if I wanted a quiet car, I wouldn't have bought a muscle car. There needs to be that refined aggressiveness...a good ride but always that constant reminder that yer sitting on dynomite.

Well I decided tonight to pull the trigger on a set of Borla stingers. I love the sound of my car now but wanted to get some "brand new" mufflers. I priced out the FRPP stingers and the Borla stingers and found a great deal on the Borla's. After the new mufflers arrive and I get them installed (probably about a week and a half) the FRPP stingers will be 'for sale'. I already have an interested party but PM me if you are interested and after they are off and cleaned up as best as I can I will post pictures. The price will be right.

I may go with gears eventually but I'm concerned with 1st being unusable as it's fairly short now with my 3:55s.

Well I did pretty much the same thing, except in reverse. I have had about 4 sets so far, LOL. I am sticking with this. I just recently got the borlas. Now I know everyone says there the same as the FRPP stingers, but I have now had both, and I think the Borlas sound better. I think they are lower in tone, and a little more smoother. But that could just be my mind playing tricks on me. But all in all after trying the gta's, the frpp, the bassanis, and now the borla. I think there going to stay the way they are, unless in the long run I may add the long tubes with catted H pipe. But a lot of money for that, so it will be a while, maybe when I add the supercharger. Anyway Borlas rock, and not much drone with 373 gears, maybe thats why I notice a little bit different. The frpp i had on stock gears in my 05, these are on my 06 with 373's. Only drone is really around the city when I am sort of going from slow to quick. Which is very little. So maybe some should try some gear changes to find the right area of drone. I love them. good luck

Ryan and I took some videos today of my GTA's on his car that has a Saleen supercharger, American Racing long tubes and an off road H pipe. Then we took some of mine with the JBA shorty headers, FRPP X pipe and the FRPP stingers. I'm sure he will get it posted after editing.
I got to drive his car and it is twice as fast as mine. Just plain awesome power!

Ryan's car sounds like something out of NASCAR at WOT don't you think? At least from the outside. I know the first time I heard him get on it from behind his car, it scared me!
Is he going to keep the GTAs or put the Magnaflows back on?
Now that you have driven your car for a hundred miles at highway/freeway speeds, how's the drone with the stingers and 3.55 gears the second time around?

Which Bassanis did you have? BX/SS or the Race? How did they compare to the GTAs and Stingers? Closer to GTAs or closer to Stingers?
My car is a daily driver/ commuter that is 90% 55-70 mph.
