Borla or Corsa exhaust? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I LOVED my Corsa on my 2002 Z28, it was the right sound for me. I'd really like to go with them again, but I'm considering others.

Corsa.........

Is DRONE the interior resonating/annoying sound that you get with some exhaust?

rudack · 08-09-2009, 11:28 AM

That MBRP sounds pretty dang good. How does it stack up to Corsa and Borla, is there a decent site for a solid comparison?

I have the Borla S exhaust on my new SS and it has a low deep rumble. The Corsa is a great exhaust, but is a little raspy for me. I didin't go with headers but the Borla cat back system sounds great to me. I am not disappointed and I would do it the same way if I was to do it again. I don't really notice a drone that much. A little at about 80mph in 6th but it is only from about 79 to 82. I am very happy with the Borla!!

I'm debating between the 2 also, in all of the videos it sounds like the borla is quieter than the corsa. Although other people are saying differently. It's my daily driver so I was thinking of going with the corsa to avoid any drone in the cabin

This is my daily driver as well and I am very happy with the Borla. I will try and get some video up later. Other people that have sat in my car have told me it sounds perfect. The real test is when me and my wife finally went for a ride. She hated my 98SS because of the exhaust sound and how loud it was. She had nothing bad to say about this car - so it passed the wife test!!

I'm looking for those vids! I wonder if an axle back would sound similar to the catbacks?

Here's my Corsa vids on an L99... Pretty happy with the setup. Not too familiar with the Borla sound but the Corsa tips are the best I've seen IMO.

I'd like to see a video of the Borla S on an LS3. Drone is my biggest fear. The stock sound is very nice when cruising on the highway.

2PitbullSS · 08-09-2009, 08:12 PM

If anyone is worried about drone get the corsa catback. At cruising speed the tone is slightly louder than stock. When you get on the throttle it sounds mean. Corsa also did a realy good job at hiding the afm tones...There is barely a difference in tone. The best part about it anyone can install one of these catbacks in an hour or two in your own driveway...its that simple. Corsa is of the highest quality imo.

!!! put up a video!!!

d69chris · 08-09-2009, 11:21 PM

Thanks for the quality video Kris of the MBRP exhaust. Hopefully we can hear the others in all the different circumstances as you provided, very nice.

I have the LS99 and opted for the Corsa cat-back. Looking for a little less volumn and was concerned about the drone at freeway speeds. Hope to be taking a lot of road trips in mine!

LMP is selling system for $1200 delivered and my dealer said they charge $150 to install. Will be checking with local muffler shop, don't have a lift to do myself.

4 days and counting. This car is awesome, really happy with Inferno Orange color. Can't wait to continue the tweekfest for for HP/TQ!!
