I would consider trading my magnaflow setup for your borlas. PM me or email me at grsdup1@aol.com. Scott

Headers + Corsa = no resonance. This is the setup I just installed. The sound from the Corsas wouldn't be my absolute first choice (it sounds a touch tinny) but the cockpit is quiet and as the RPMs rise, the sound gets sweeter.

The resonance ain't from the headers. Went through this on my C5 - Brand B = resonance. Corsa = no resonance. All these posts convince me that 6 years later, Corsa is still the only brand that does not have resonance.

Sell the car immediately and buy a minivan. Wear your best skirt and maybe you'll get a better trade.

I had Borla exhaust, and X pipe, installed at the last Corvette Show, in Carlise PA, this summer. I LOVE it, and no problems with drone (at least at idle!) Must be the headers!!!!! I was also reading the warranty, (lifetime) that says there are several ways to quiet the system down, if all you're looking for is the preformance. I like both! Something about 'Venturies', and to ask your retailer. Just a thought!

At Idle ?
I have Borla’s with the stock "H" Pipe. I get some mild resonance
@15-1600 RPM in 4th & up on mild acceleration. No resonance @ idle, just a nice little sweeeeet rumble.
