Corsa vs Borla Axlebacks, Need Honest Opinions
OK, Corsas cost more but understand they have less drone. FRPP (Borla's) cost less but have drone around 2,000 RPM. So is it worth the extra cash to pay up for the Corsas? Don't want the drone. Also, do FRPP's give the same 12 or so HP Corsa Claims to produce? Do Corsas add HP. Only talking axlebacks. HP is more important to me than noise (although don't want drone).

I can't speak to the FRPP... but the Corsa's are terrific... zero drone....!!!!! they sound great at 2500 rpm plus...and are quite when cruising... nice deep V-8 tone to them as well... they also have great looking 4" stainless tips....
I swapped them out for a Magnapack due to the drone....
use the search function for tons of comments on this issue.....
IMO... why not spend a few hundy more for no annoying sound... you've got 25-30K spent on the car.....
good luck

I have a vert also. I know when I do get an exhaust it's going to beCorsa all the way. I don't want to take any chances with the drone. I have done some research on the drone and from what I found some people have problems with it some don't, it's mostly personal preference.

I believe the consensus on this board is that there isn't much gain in HP from replacing only the mufflers (axle back). Both theCorsa and the Borla (Stinger)mufflers are a straight through design so the HP gain (if any) should be equivalent. So really what we're talking about is the better sound you getfromaftermarket mufflers. I amvery happywith my Corsas. They sound great at idle and when I step on the gas, they bring a smile to my face.I spend most of the time on the highway and I absolutely hate drone so the Corsas are my natural choice.I leave for work at 5:00 amso I'm sure my neighbors appreciate the fact they are not as loud as SLPs. Do I occasionally wish they were louder? On a sunny Saturday or Sunday afternoon, Yes. Am I sorry I bought the Corsas? No way!

They are many thread, very recent with this discussion so I wold highly suggest just look for 5 minutes.
I have the stingers and like them alot. The price difference is only about $100 so that is not near of an issue as it was before. With a convertable I would say you will hardly notice any drone....I notice none with my windows down. And the drone isnt as bad as some people say as long as the clamps are done properly. If you have a bunch of leaks then you will have more drone. With the radio going or whatever I never notice it. As for gains, you arent getting much if any.....corsa says 12 but not many people can back that up with numbers so I am a little doubtful.

seems that almost all the aftermarket axle backs have a drone ( Corsa's being the only one consistantly w/o) so I'd say generically the issue would be that same regardless of brand
