Default FRPP GTAs or Corsa Sport?

Im looking for an Axle back that will not drone so ive come down to frpp GTA's or Corsa Sports. Does Anybody which of these 2 is louder and deeper?

Im also debating whether i want Frpp stingers as well. How bad is the drone on these? Is it worse than Flowmaster american thunders?

First, if you want a significant sound increase over stock, forget the GTA's. They're slightly louder than stock. I've never heard Corsa's.

The GTA's are between stock and the Stinger's as far as sound. My Stingers DO drone between 1500 and 1800 RPM but neither I and my g/f mind it. It only drones if you're under load in those ranges so flat-out highway and it won't bother anyone. But if it ever did bother me, I'd up or downshift (or change speed) to get out of it. I love my Stingers.

i purchased gta's from ninosport about 2 years ago but have only driven car for 4000miles since and the axlebacks are starting to resignate inside the muffler. i emailed them about it and they told me my warranty would be between me and ford racing even thou they sold them to me. my car is always in my attached garage and has only seen rain once. maybe i got a bad set, i don't know but i won't buy them again.

I've had the FRPP gtas since new on my '06GT. Quiet on the inside and, though not as loud as many others outside, get lots of comments on the sound. Best part, absolutely no drone which is a deal-breaker for me. Baffles still in place and is a daily driver except on snowy winter days. My experience anyway.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't FRPP parts warrantied for only one year.

Cheers.

Corsa all the way IMO... they are as quiet as stock at cruising speeds, scream at WOT and are of the highest quality.

Check out some of my sound clips below...

well do you know if the corsas are louder than the gta's? Is your exhaust stock except for the mufflers? Also which corsa axleback are you using? touring,sport, or extreme?

The Corsa's are as loud (if not louder) than any muffled exhaust I've heard yet... but only at WOT. Obviously they aren't as loud as Loud Mouths or Boomtubes...

I have the Corsa Sports and my dad has the Corsa Extremes... his are louder for normal around town driving, but don't seem to be any louder at WOT. His is a more exotic sound, almost like an Italian V8.

Right now I have just the Corsa's... rest of the exhaust is stock.

Going to get either the ARH or Kooks long tubes for Christmas though.
