Exhaust questions.
Just wanted to see if anyone has used an OBX exhaust. Looks like a Borla Stinger could be a knock off stinker.
Also would some recommendations on what other brands you may recommend. Should I get an x pipe.
I don't want drone at cruising speed. I do like to hear it scream at full throttle. Any tips or opinions

Ive had this system on my car for over 13 years,, I could sell them tomorrow for 800 dollars, and get something better, but there is nothing better.. when you demand 0 drone Corsa is the only game in town... some will say that theirs won't drone or they only drone a little.. but the manufacture wont guarantee them for life or guarantee no drone.
Good Luck with whatever you do.

Because they no longer Make GLH, the only exhaust system that guarantees no drone at cruise is the Corsa systems...either the Corsa sport or the Corsa extreme.

Sorry I am very sckeptical.. I just went to Borla website and specifically to the ATAK page.. there is absolutely no mention of zero drone anywhere, nor is there any reference to guaranteed for life... Corsa puts this in writing. so you would think that if peole are very interested in drone or the lack of it.. Borla would have put that very important information on their advertisement page..
An individual testimonial can be very self serving... But when Borla puts No Drone and Guaranteed for life on their website I would tak a serious look and not remotely listen to someone who just bought a set of these and is just supporting his own choice...
No drone??? really why doesn't Borla say that?
http://www.borla.com/about-us/atak/?...FdMjgQodL18AIQ
If we all listen to everyone who posted that their exhaust system has No drone...then every system on the market would have no drone..
Proof is in the words of the Manufacturer.. to which Borla does not say.
Corsa however puts this right on their website

I would highly recommend the Corsa systems. I have the Indy Pace Car (now called Sport) on my '03 and it sounds/looks great with no drone.

I also have the new Borla Atak and they didn't really drone when I was stock at all, but with cam, headers and bolt ons it really does lol. But Borla does have a 1 million mile warranty. I would say that's damn close to a lifetime. Also Corsa doesn't guarantee it wont drone.
