Corsa is the only way to go, much better sound quality then Borla.

You can buy almost 3 Flowmast Cat backs for the cost of 1 Corsa or Borla. So even if they rust in 4 years that means you can buy 12 years worth of cat backs for the cost of 1 and no one will drive this car for 12 years. Some may say they will keep this car forever but after 5 years and the latest and greatest come out, that will change for 99% of them.

I had flowmasters on my camaro for 4 years and then never rusted, they were also turn downs so you didn't see tips which also helped.

Valid points but the future latest isn't always the greatest, just consider the 1970 vs 1975 Camaro's. People could easily end up keeping these cars longer than you would expect.

And even if you do keep your car for life, exhaust technology can very well change for the better in 8 years. And you'll be able to afford those as well.

Expecting power from a catback is rediculouse anyway. go for the sound you like.

We just installed Corsa Pros and a Corsa X-pipe on my Sons 05 Mustang GT and they are sound great. There is no drone sound inside the car at all and when driven normally you can carry on a conversation in the car and don't really notice much inside sound difference over stock. From the outside thay sound great and when you get on the gas you hear just what you want inside the car. I can't wait to hear these on a Camaro V8, if they sound as good on the Camaro I will be getting Corsa for sure.

I used to be one of the original outside sales people for Corsa Performance. I can tell you that the Corsa product is a very well engineered product. The sound is amazing on V8 cars and trucks. Please do not compare the LS3 Corvette sound to the new Camaro sound. The exhaust systems are completely different! As for Borla being better than Corsa, it all depends on what kind of sound you are after. Corsa has always had a more exotic sound where as Borla has had a deeper tone. The Corsa mufflers are hand built without any type of packing material. Borla uses packing material to muffle the sound. The packing material will eventually burn out and make the exhaust system louder in the cabin and exterior of the vehicle. Both are very good systems and should be great improvements to your 2010 Camaro's.
