MBRP Exhaust or Corsa

Saw these on eBay. Not looking for a performance increase - just a bit better sound and look over the stock beer barrels. Are these good deals, especially the MBRP? I listened to a few sound clips but I really don’t get a good idea from them on my iPad.

The MBRP is just a straight pipe. That's a pretty good deal on the Borla depending on what system it is. I'm sure we could beat that price for you if you needed us to.


What kind of sound are you looking for? We have a lot of options.



I would also have you check out the Solo axleback and the MRT axleback we carry if you're just looking for a good value and some extra rumble. Check out our site and shop around with code CAMARO5 and we'll make sure you get a great deal.

I used to be fortunate enough to get to Vegas every year for SEMA but those days are over.

I’ll consider that so long as it looks nice. I’m all about saving money but not if it looks crappy.

You will probably get a better tone or overall sound from the Borla, as the MBRP is essentially just a muffler delete or 'straight pipe', as said above.
But if you are just shopping based on price, I would highly recommend listening to as many sound clips or in person exhausts as possible.

Don't get caught on the exhaust rabbit hole that many of us already have. You buy something cheap with good intentions only to be disappointed with the sound or excessive drone and end up spending a fortune in the end, changing out your exhaust 5-6 times.
