Yes they are. We do a lot of Corsas here and everyone has loved the sound. If anyone is interested in a set, send me a PM. We are a direct dealer.

I've never owned Borla's so I can't speak to them. I can tell you about Corsa Pace Cars since I have them on my Vette. Absolutely no drone, plenty of noise at WOT, Nice sound at idle (some compare it to the sound of a inboard motor on a boat) and about the same noise as stock at cruise.

IMHO

Got the Corsas on and just got back from a trip on the highway and I love it .I cant believe how quiet they are while cruising and when you want to hear them roar , give it a little hammer.

I like the Corsa, but when I am behind a friend with Borlas, and he gets on it, I can hear it, and know I had better floor mine to keep up with him....

Its a matter of opinion, but in my opinion (i have heard both and been in a car with both) the borlas sound better to me. the have a really nice tone to them. the corsas were great but I really loved the tone of the Borlas. I bought the borlas for my 99 vert daily driver.

Maybe it's the angle and quality of that picture, but I just have to say, that is one awesome looking convertible. I'm going to e-mail it to my dad right now since he's the vert guy(owns an 86 and 96' C4 verts).
