Corsa Xtreme vs Borla S Type

[Captain Awesome]

Corsa And Borla are pretty much the same the only difference being sound. I have a Borla set up that is nice and loud and keeps the same tone through out the whole rpm range when you step on it and a nice low rumble and no drone while cruising. you cant go wrong with either as it's pretty much just a decision on sound with these 2. You can hear my set up there is a link to the video in my sig.

My Corsa Extreme swap from stock took me about an hour and a half in the parking lot at work.....most of the first half an hour was me locating tools and realizing without being on a lift that the tailpipe wasnt going over the rear axle, and not having a jack, I jumped on the forklift and lifted it at the rear tow hooks until the rear tires were almost off the ground....the stock system then came right out, and the new one went in super quick. Sound is awesome, no drone, sounds great at start up and under heavy acceleration, otherwise its not too obnoxious....

Well I'm having it put on today. I decided to just have them do it. Realized the wife destroyed my tool box hanging curtains.

I'm still trying to decide which to get, I've listened to every video and its still hard for me to pick which one i like better. Since the corsa only has a single pipe and the borla is a duel, does that have any effect on the engine and the back pressure?

Another satisfied customer , I too have the corsa extreme with resonator delete pipe installed, it's awesome! As advertised zero drone & sounds great during acceleration

I went from the dual outlets to a single, muffler shop said as long as the single pipe is sized right then there are no issues, the dual outlets are just for looks.

Thank you that is good to know. How loud is the corsa or borla, can you hear it when it starts up from across a parking lot? With the stock one if feel like its super quiet and i don't want to get the extreme or s type and still think it is too quiet.

Really comes down to personal preference, what might be loud to one guy isn't to another. I never had the stock exhaust (previous owner installed the Borla) so I can't do a direct comparison but the Borla had a nice rumble on initial start up, then would settle down but awaken every time you hammered the gas. Nothing too loud, didn't wake up the neighbours.

its just hard to get the personal preference without being able to hear both. i feel like the stock exhaust is almost always silent and even when I'm on the throttle i can't hear it over the engine. i want an exhaust thats going to be loud and turn heads but not overly obnoxious and that has a drone.
