Borla or Corsa
I am having a hard time deciding between Corsa Indy Pace Car or Borla Stingers. Does anybody have any sound clips of them on a stock motor, with no aftermarket x pipes or headers?

Well, I have the corsa on my 01 and my brother inlaw has the borla
stingers. He wishes he had the corsa now. Not that there is anyting wrong w/ the borla , but, it is a good bit loader than the corsa.
Either way they are both great systems. One is just a bit louder.
Good Luck

The Corsa Pacecar exhaust was on my car when I bought it. I liked how it would quiet down during cruise, but that's about all I liked about it. It has more of a midrange sound like stock zo6 Ti exhaust, but has a rasp to it when you lug a gear..like getting on it in 4th at 40 mph..which sounded like dookie.
I swapped to a 2 tip borla stinger I found on here used. 2 of my friends had them so I heard both of them in person before changing. The borla fits the car more, it's more aggressive and has a deeper tone to it. It does have an interior drone right at 1500 rpm, but this can be shifted around (if you're a 6 spd). With an auto this could become annoying. BUT, I don't see how you could complain about it with the awesome midrange to high pitch change at 3800 rpm

Here you go Blake, I just made another video for you to check out, you are going to get tons of different choices from different people, but after having B&B Bullets for a short while,hated the drone, I chose the Corsa's, what sold me on them was NO Drone, and I do love the sound

Ive got to put in a vote for the Corsa. I love the quad tips and the bad *** sound when doing some hard downshifting. Ive driven cars with bad drone before and I HATED it (and Im a 19 year old kid). It drives you nuts when you go any further than the corner store. Plus, I dont see any need for them to be any louder. good luck on the decision.
good luck on the decision.
