Default My thoughts Borla X vs Corsa X pipes

I put the Borla X pipe on my wife's base Auto C7. And now that I have my M7 Grand Sport, I decided to try the Corsa X. The Borla is a bit louder and angrier. It's got more bark at start up and sounds a bit more angry at idle up to 3500 rpm. After that the Corsa comes alive and sounds amazing. The Corsa sounds more like a tuned exhaust. Or it has a tighter sound, less slop. I prefer the Borla under 3500, and the Corsa over 3500. My only problem is the Corsa is a little to quiet for my taste. So some B&B bullets or muffler delete may be in my future. If I had to pick one it is the Corsa. I just love the sound up top. Puts a huge smile on my face every time.

Note: Both cars have stock NPP with fuse pulled.

Can you get some quick clips of the difference? This would be extremely helpful because I'm trying to decide which I want to buy. I've been leaning Corsa, but this makes me think twice that maybe I should go Borla. Thanks!

Love it.

A honest, unbiased opinion.

Let us know when the B&B exhaust is in your shopping cart. We'll get you a deal.

I personally have the Corsa and love it as well.

Yeah - I'd love to hear both cars - I want to put an X pipe on as well before the spring and im torn between both of them.
