Default Corsa or borla catback on 99 Am w/heads and cam?

Just wondering what catback has the best sound at idle and when cruising. Which one performs the best also?

I've had both on my old h/c/i Camaro and I took the borla off and put on corsa. Loved them both. Borla has a awesome idle with no plates in it. Corsa has a little bit more defined sound when driving, quieter inside the car, but a little more restrictive imo. If I was to do it over I would probably have kept the Borla. Can't go wrong with either though. GL

both are pricey!! but i would take corsa over borla..the corsa tips are hands down the best looking tips out of all the catback systems out there.

This comes down to personal taste, you need to listen to sound clips of the two and decide. That being said, my vote goes to Corsa, I think they sound great and you can't beat the quality.

Well they sound similar,I have the borla now and was just thinking about swapping because the borla is really loud. Thanks for those clips,for the money I think im gonna keep the borla.

I would get the corsa.After I installed my kooks LT's the borla I had was way too loud.My friend has the same t/a as mine and he has a corsa.Great quality and sound.If you have shorty headers or stock exhaust manifolds than the borla is cool.If you are going with the LT's go for the corsa.

I love the sound of my borla, although I plan on running dual dumps when I sell my system.
