I went from stingers to the Corsa Sports after I installed long tube headers. Stopped the drone.

We have a 99 FRC that has a Borla exhaust that has been on the car since we purchased it nine years ago. It has that awful drone and you can't hear yourself think. I have heard that the Corsa exhaust eliminates all that. Is removing the Borla mufflers and replacing them with the Corsa axle backs easily accomplished - is it plug and play? Or should I consider a catback Corsa system? I am not looking for a power increase - the car was tuned the way I wanted it. I am looking to quiet the car down as it is my warm weather DD and my wife and I enjoy road trips.

Hello Everyone,
When the C5 Corvette first came out, we released aggressive sounding systems for it, but they droned... They were very popular systems, however, we recognized the fact that a lot of our customers wanted an aggressive sounding system that did NOT drone. That said, we went back and designed a new system for the C5 using newer technology to eliminate the drone. This newer technology is what we now use in all of our exhaust systems.
As some of you have already pointed out... if you take a look at what we offer for the C5 on our website, you will see "S-Type Classic" systems & an "S-Type II" system... https://www.borla.com/chevy-corvette...haust-systems/
S-Type Classic = Our Older Systems
S-Type II = Our Newer System
We still sell the "S-Type Classic" systems because they are still popular, but we always recommend the "S-Type II" system to those that do NOT want drone. Here is our "S-Type II" system for the C5 Corvette: https://www.borla.com/products/c5_co...t__140427.html
Customer satisfaction is very important to us and so is addressing drone. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 1-877-462-6752 (Monday-Friday 7:30am-4pm PST).
Take care,
