Lightbulb Wondering why not so much Corsa exhaust ?

Hello,

All is in the subject. I mean ... Corsa exhausts are supposed to be drone free, unlike all of the others manufacturers.
But despite that, it seems that almost all of you go with Borla or Magnaflow.

Aren't you concerned by the drone, or is it something bad that I missed with Corsa ?
Why do you prefer Borla or Magnaflow ?

Actually, I'm thinking about purchasing Corsa exhaust n°14951 for my LS3/M6.
Please help me if I'm on the point to do a mistake
Finally, if you know another drone free exhaust, feel free to let me know

Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.
Oliv'

If you want drone free then corsa it is. I have it and love it and so does my wife which is what really counts IMO. Some guys might think its too raspy. The borla sounds very good with a very little drone. For some the drone is not an issue.

Love my Corsa. I have longtubes, no cats and noweeds cutouts. When I close the cutouts and turn on the Corsa the sound goes way down and no drone on the highway...

Corsa was the first thing I did and I still think it was the right choice.

As mentioned - Corsa exhausts makes a very unique sound. Some like the sound and some don't.

And there are also lots of other exhausts that don't produce significant drone (some have no drone). My Magnaflow street catback (with Kooks header) is very quiet at cruise speeds on the highway.
But still sounds great when I get into the gas.

Thanks for your replies.
I'm happy to see satisfied Corsa owners.
The hardest part is to listen some differents exhausts, because youtube's videos don't do justice with sounds. And in France, there aren't people with Corsa exhaust :(

For the drone, it's even more difficult to know if it can be annoying or not. But if I know something, it's that I don't want to be disturbed by a drone when I drive on highway at stabilized speed.

Pops and cracks can be turned off with a tune if you do not like them.
