That's a loaded question. Like asking the best motor oil.

I have Borla Stingers (140017) with the Borla X-pipe and I love it. Sounds great, loud but doesn't set off car alarms.

I like my Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust, but your opinion may vary. Best bet is to find other owners with aftermarket exhausts and see if you can listen to them and form your own opinion.

I love my Corsa Extremes! Best sound, looks and performance.

But yeah, it is a loaded question. Depends on what you're after.

Just messing with you.

The Corvette shop here was desperately wanting to sell me on the PRT system. To me, drone is a non-issue so I didn't see the point of spending nearly double the cost for a system that still didn't capture the WOT sound of the Bullets, which was what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with my decision to skip on the PRT. Personally, I think it's over rated. IMO. YMMV.

OP, there's no real answer to this question. You'll have to do the legwork and check out all the options to see what fits your needs best.

I'd also suggest going to a Corvette meet in your area, as YouTube videos are not a viable source for sound clips on exhausts. I heard some vids of the Corsa stuff....not very impressive. Then I heard them in person and they were much better. Not my style, but that's exactly my point...that's how you find out. Trust me, every Vette owner I've met in person has no problem letting you hear their car.

Good luck!

Corsa hands down but this has been discussed a number of times as you could imagine.

Maybe I will come across someone this year that has the Borla S Type 2 exhaust at Carlise. I have this exhaust on my car. This sounds awesome and loud and when you are highway driving in 5th or 6 gear No Drone and also I have headers.
