Re: borla VS corsa My roommate has corsa/flps with off road y/and a cam and it sounds awesome.
I have Borla right now with stock manifolds and love it but my roommate said the reason he got into ls1's was hearing Macs/off road y/into borla every day drive by his house.
Your best bet is to listen to both and make your decesion. Both have very nice tips, Corsa's are larger but Borla's tips are "known". Borla would make a tad more horsepower wide open but Corsa has been known to put out some crazy torque numbers. All it comes down to is sound so you really have to hear both.

Re: borla VS corsa I have a corsa and love it. Please find people with these exhausts and listen to them before shelling out $700. I think the Corsa is a little more tame and livable. It opens up great when getting on it though.

Re: borla VS corsa Corsa vote here...oh and Corsa's tips are very well known as well.
Corsa sounds great, looks even better,a nd I'm sure it performs as well as the best of them. The only drawback I can see is the weight. It's a little on the heavy side. JMO

Re: borla VS corsa I replaced my Magnaflow CB for the Borla!. I run it Wide Open (no plate) with stock manifolds/Cats and couldn't be happier with how it sounds. It has the perfect volume and the deepest exhaust note I wanted, not to mention how great the tips look too!.

Re: borla VS corsa My vote is for Borla. They are priced similar and will give you similar performance. But I heard that Corsa has problems with the muffler needing replaced. The #1 thing I don't like about Corsa is the tips look way too big for the car. I wanted Corsa until I finally say them in person. Borla and GMMG have the best looking tips IMHO. Borla is a little loud and raspy with headers though.
Re: borla VS corsa I had Corsa on my car when it was pretty much stock, it sounded great! However, when I put my H/C package and headers on it sounded like ***! I guess all that extra air was too much! I called Corsa and they sent me a new muffler and it still sounded bad. I ended up taking it off and installing the Hooker, which sounds awesome and is a hole lot cheaper! The Hooker cat back is also easy to take off when you go to the track! Good Luck!

Re: borla VS corsa I like my borla and i figure once i get my headers on and take my cats off I can put in a plate or two and get it sounding the way i want. I say go with the borla on my fairly stock Z it sounds pretty good wide open but my taste is for loud tiz the reason im gettin those headers on in a few more weeks 
...never heard a corsa though so dont know what to compare it to. Bottom line is i like the adjustability.

Re: borla VS corsa I had the Corsa and it sounds really good, until you blow the muffler into pieces and it starts rattling inside like crazy.. I have the GMMG now and it is by far a superior system, plus you don't have a muffler to worry about!

Re: borla VS corsa I would suggest the GMMG. I don't have it right now, but love how it sounds on their website. www.gmmginc.net I have heard borla with flp's and cats, and it does sound really good. But I have fallen in love with the gmmg, plus not many people have it and I figure lots of questions will be heading my way about it when I get my flp's and gmmg next month.

Re: borla VS corsa thanx for all ur replys guys
i can see that the slp loud mouth is highly recomended and many people think that its better than the borla and the corsa and has a deeper sound ....i think thats what im looking for with my modes (hooker LTs ,hooker 3 y pipe ,qtec cutout )but again i need more research coz the borla is well known and i drove a camaro with headers ,y pipe and a cut out and i was a monster ....
i have some sound clips of the borla,corsa ,loud mouth and flowmaster but i have a problem in uplaoding them
thanx
