Get the nxt's and save yourself from drone and save an extra $575.00 for some other mods.
I got mine shipped to my door for $525.00 out the door
Just mt .02
Here are a few links about the exhaust.

I bought mine from SouthernCarParts at an excellent price, had them shipped to my door a day before CaC, and the guys at the Borla tent put them on for me at no charge. Installation was free for all Borla products last year. The Borla guys were fast and the tips were perfectly aligned. The people at the Borla stand do not sell the products directly, rather you purchase from several adjacent vendors and they will pick up/install the system for you. It's pretty cool to watch. I don't care what anyone else says. If you want Borlas and can wait another two months, having the Borla folks install them is the way to go.
Here's a link to where I bought from. I'm not sure if it's still the best price, but Jim treats his customers right and he made sure that I had the system before I went to Carlisle even though I had to buy at the last minute. I'd buy from Jim again in an instant.

*One thought, though. If you do have them install the pipes, schedule as early in the morning as possible so that you don't have to drive through droves of clueless people to get to the tent.

Only down side to install at Carlisle is if you want to keep your stock set up, other than that it's a great place to have them installed. I did it a few years ago when I had my 98 Vette and I left my stock system behind.
Lots of vendors offering show deals so you can shop around for exhaust, wheels, anything you want.

As an incentive, you may just get a free Borla hat. !

If you have a coupe with the hatch, you can bring home your stock exhaust. I have carried them in mine so you know it can be done.

Looks like the Stingers run above $1,000. which may discourage me.

I had email with Borla this week. They will be at CaC again. Said the labor is free to install their systems. Would not quote a price for the system itself but referred me to their website. Now I know why....they do not want to compete with the suppliers who are their customers!!!

I didn't think they would either, but I asked the guy in the white shirt (who appeared to be in charge) and he said yes without any hesitation—as noted in my previous post.

As for the drone...
All I'll say is that it's there, but it doesn't bother me at all. Some people go crazy about it, but I couldn't care less. The "drone" sounds good at cruising from outside the car, in my opinion. Once I got LT's, it was significantly louder, but in a good way.
Poor video, but you get the idea.

If your interested in single tip stingers, and you decide not to get them installed at carlisle, Jegs is currently selling them for about 665. They are backordered to July 12, but I dont mind waiting a few extra days to save $100.
I have mine on order.
