Corsa vs Borla
I am looking to upgrade my exhaust. I am new to Mustang's. I want to go with either the Borla or the Corsa cat-back system, using a Bassani X-pipe. I have the Borla Stingers on my vette and there is some interior resonance. How do the Borla compare to the Corsa on the Mustang's. I know on the vettes they both sound very good but there is resonance. Is this also common with the Mustangs. If so which system would give me a good sound as well as very little resonance? BTW *This car will not be used on a track or have very many engine mods, vert just for weekend drives wit the top down*

RE: Corsa vs Borla
Please do not listen to lmunz22's statement, as Flowmasters are the worst exhaust I have heard on this generation Mustang. I personally own Borla's on my 06 GT Coupe and my dad has an 06 GT Vert, now since you have a vert you will not enjoy Borla. I say you will not enjoy Borla because with the Vert you get a very bad drone in the lower RPMs which makes my father go ballistic. Second Corsa is a very good exhaust company and has absolutely no drone as I have experience with friends and many people on this forum will come forward and agree with me. Flowmaster is not something you want to add unless you want the highest pitch on your exhaust note.

RE: Corsa vs Borla
Yes, I see 2 types of Borla's for sale. The can type and the oval ones that look like out stock. Borla I have been told make the ones for Ford Raceing.
I have a Vert and am looking for new exhaust also. I wand them louder when really mashing the throttle and not too much for cruzin. I imagine I'll have to try a few diffrent brands unless I get lucky and find a Mustang around here that has changed their exhaust and like theirs. I have only seen a few by me though. That's good and bad..

RE: Corsa vs Borla
I have the Boral Stingers (round can type) on my vette and the drone is very bad a low rpms, but they sound awesome at WOT. Do the can style Borlas have the same sound without the drone, I am leaning more toward the Borla but not sure wit the drone issue. This is why I am asking about the Corsa, how do they sound and WOT and at normal (without your foot in it) cruising around?

RE: Corsa vs Borla
Here is the easy answer. The Borla Stingers will be loud, but you WILL get a very annoying drone at 2k RPM (cruising speed). I know this because my buddy has em and he is driven nuts every day during his 60 minute commute to work. They sound great, again read loud. The Corsa exhaust is what I have on my Vert GT and my Vette. They are awesome. NO absolutely NO drone. On both of my cars they are a little louder than stock at idle but when you give it the gas they scream! I receive compliments all the time. One unknowing dude said it sounded like I had a big block in the car (yeah right). The Corsa may cost a little more but it is worth every penny. IMHO I believe there is no better exhaust in terms of quality, looks, and performance.
