I like the Corsa. I have Borla with the catback system and just love them. Mean sounding . TA what should I use to capture the video of the Borlas? Cell phone or camera?

I went from Flowmaster 40s toMagnaflow on my 91 because of the resonance as well.

I posted it all in this tread:

Here is the first video.
Stock exhaust with Flowmaster 40 series 2 chamber and TPIS Y-pipe.

Magnaflow with Headman Elites and absolutely no resonance.

I must caution you, I thought they sounded great but other members have had problems with the hangers coming apart. I did not have them for long before i went with a diff set up.
If you can afford it the corsas sound great and hold up well.

I used a video camera. I tried a cell phone, but the sound quality was pretty bad.

Your flowmaster setup sounded deep.. but the Corsa's sound pissed off... ready to attack. I love that on a corvette exhuast. Absolutely love it. Sadly, idle is only one characteristic that I'm interested in when determining exhaust. I wish you had some videos of driving or at least revving.

Here's a vid at the track, but unfortunatelt its a cell phone vid and the sound quality isn't great.

TA, that was awesome listening. I just made everyone at work come over to listen I had it so loud (engineering lab). Corsa got the overwhelming vote (5 of 6). I have 40's which I am happy with but those corsa sure do have way more mid-range and treble output. View the difference on a spectrum analyzer and the corsa just dominates the audio spectrum. The flowmaster had much lower bass tones which explains the resonance I guess.

I am not a fan of the corsa tips though. Double wall flares?
