If you had to do it over again and....

You own a Cosra Exhaust would you buy a Borla, or if you own a Borla would you buy a Corsa?

I bought the muffler delete 2 years ago, a month after I bought it. and still to this day have it this way. I love the sound and if I could do it again I would. (did it at first because of the out of pocket for the down payment but now I'm putting on a turbo, and no where in there did I consider replacing the muffler delete)

I bought a corsa the first week I had my car...I would not go back and do it differently...that said it's your car don't let one of us tell you what's best b/c cat backs are a personal preference thing...listen to the clips on here (there's plenty) and decide which one YOU like the best

Thanks, I have spent hours listening to both. Lakersfbl69 was nice enough to meet me yesterday and let me listen to his. I like the Corsa, but was just wondering what peope have experienced after they bought theirs. If they were happy or not. Just doing as much research on opinions and listening as I can before I pull the trigger.

im not sure why people go with full exhaust systems tbh..

go with long tubes/hi flow x-pipe and a muffler delete for much better gains..

I bought a Corsa catback about one month after I bought the car. I would do it again. But I probably should have bought the LS3 system for my L99. I got the L99 system, then I could not stand the AFM noise. So I tuned it out. (That was a great improvement). The LS3 system would be a little louder. But I am happy with what I got. I like the sound and looks, good improvement over stock. Great quality system. Should last forever.

i at times have mixed feeling about my corsa. but overall the sound is great. no way would i ever get a borla. to much drone. i went from a borla to a corsa. i also take long drives from my college to home at times. which is what really killed it.

I wish it was louder. Nothing a cam can't fix I guess. The only Borla I would consider is the ATAK.

I was trying to decide between the ATAK and the Corsa. The Corsa has no drone, that was the deciding factor. Here is a good comparison vid.

I would never get rid of my Corsa for Borla, I have had thoughts about changing to Flowmaster, but after I heard my Camaro from the outside, my Corsa is staying

Well looking at the prices, the Flowmaster system is a good $400-$600 cheaper than the rest. I've heard sound clips from almost all systems and neither of them sounds $400 better than the rest. The next stage of mods for my car include short tubes (I don't wanna be married to a tune permanently because of LT's), and a cat-back. I'm not messing with the X pipe because I don't wanna get involved with messing with O2 sensors and high-flow cats and CELs and all that jazz...wait, what were we talking about again? Oh right, exhausts...for the price I figure I'll go with Flows!!
