Re: Borla vs. everything else (Tony and His C5)
After carefully looking for the coolest, loudest exhausts, initially I was leaning w/ the XR-1. But after comparing both sounds over the net, I think I might go w/ the Loudmouths. :crazy:

Also consider cut offs: http://www.mccordcg.com/mpp/mpp.htm
Hope this helps.

You'll also probably want to install an X-Pipe to reduce any popping on deceleration....will get some resonance at about 2100 RPM's...but the X-Pipe cuts that down as well...
Can also insulate the cabin floor ( and hatch area if you have a coupe ) to deaden any road and exhaust noise....
Another plus....you'll also drop 15 - 20 pounds off the car.....and you can typically find them for a fraction of the cost of any of the other systems - between $550 for two tip stingers and $750 - 900 for 4 tip stingers or XR-1 borla systems and ridiculous amounts of money for any Corsa system...I got my Loudmouths for $400.....just one man's opinion ....but if it's a loud and mean exhaust note your interested in..and you'll be able to deal with the loudness..you may want to check out the SLP Loudmouths....there isn't anything that sounds better....

Re: Borla vs. everything else (rockman)
It's not just going to be the mufflers that get that 'note' you want. When I started my search years back I told everyone I wanted to hear the motor over the mufflers, and I didn't want that coffee can full of rocks sound. I run the Borla 4 tip 4-1/2" mufflers only setup, TPIS headers, Basini x-pipe and no cats. My solid roller h/c really sounds wicked through them. Ordered from Summit.
