This won't help, but I liked them both, however went with Magnaflow catback with X pipe which was just released. I've only heard the Borla Stingers and Corsa Sport. Borlas had a deeper tone, while the Corsa Sport had a "ferrarish sound". Good luck, and recommend you hear them 1st in person........

I'm not gonna help, either.
I installed B&B Rt. 66's because I liked the 'muscle car' idle it produces.

I had the Borla Stinger system on my C5 and loved it so much I got one for the stang. A neighbor of mine had a Corsa and next to my Borla's his sounded stock. (yeah, I'm probably biased ).. Now I have Belangers with Magnaflows, not that it matters.

Looks like I'm going to the birthday bash in BG. I'm sure I'll get to hear them all down there.

Default Which exhaust

I just had a set of corsa sports put on today by my local dealer. I lost some sleep last night thinking that the sports might be too harsh after listening to the corsa video on their web page.

Well, after the dealer assured me that they would be fine, I let them put them on. I can truly say that they sound great The dealer was correct. They sound much better than the video. Anyone undecided, put them on. And by the way, the corsa exhaust tips are very very nice and have the corsa logo on them Very nice indeed.

I just played exhausts from the Corsa, Borla and B&B sites. Both my wife and daughter preferred the Borla. Frankly, if they sound like they do on the website, I have to admit it's the sweetest exhaust note to my ears.
