Supposedly Corsa sounds better, Borla makes slightly better HP & TQ & is lighter. My opinion its a tossup. I bought Borla because I got a little better price. HP increase in dyno test after 200 miles was not significant.

Borla (cheaper) weighs less too.

I had a Corsa, it has a different sound which I had no problem living with at all. Then I took the car to the track and it slowed me down from what I was running with the stock X-pipe. So it had to go and later I sold it.

Borla is more popular but Corsa has a more exotic sound.

Both are great.

I agree but I dislike covering terrain slower.

I've been asking the same question and considering an X pipe purchase myself. I got swayed over to the Borla X pipe by this review: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...w-damnnnn.html

Specifically, the Borla's muscle car like tone compared to the Corsa's slightly raspy but more exotic sounding tone convinced me to lean heavily on the Borla side.

I went with borla because it was cheaper, easier fit, makes more power, and sounds better.

It would have made no sense going with corsa.

Same here (with the exception of the cost, which wasn't a factor). I LOVE the sound of the Borla.

To me, the Corsa sounded meaner and louder. The Borla was a tenth quicker in the quarter. I'm now running the Borla. Still has a great sound.
