I have Borla stingers on the skunk....and I love them. Everyone mentions the drone...and it isn't what it's made out to be. Seriously....if you even listen to music while driving you won't even notice it.

I have talked to the Corsa reps more than once at Rolex Series races....and I just have to be honest...I am not impressed with the sound. They usually have two or three cars with their exhaust on for you to hear, and it never really got me fired up. They had a mustang, Z06, and a BMW.....and all three kinda disappointed me.

No, The GTAs are different than the FRPP/Borla stingers. The stingers are the oval/canister type muffler and GTAs are the stock looking muffler.

I have not heard Corsas in person, but I believe they are deceptive. This is from what I have read. Cabin noise is quiet and they are quiet at startup and cruzing speeds, but sound mean at WOT. That being said, I would rather have an exhaust that sounded good at startup, while driving and at WOT.

I have since removed the stingers and replaced them with GTA's. Need to make a new vid.

New video with the GTA's below. Same setup as above, only replacing Stingers with GTA's.

I have the Borla Stingers and I don't notice the drone at all and I have a vert too. The only minimal drone I have noticed is 1700-1900 RPM and they way I drive I'm typically above 1900 RPM on the highway anyway. If anything I think the Stingers are too quiet.
