I have about 600 miles on mine so far.

It does seem a little Louder / Sounds better than when I first installed it. A little more rasp when downshifting to a lower gear at around 2500 to 3000 RPM.

You need to change your Signature and put Corsa on there now, the Borla has been replaced... Enjoy the Corsa !

Pretty much any muffler has a break in period especially mufflers with packing material.

i really think you are looking to far into this. just drive the damn thing and find out if you like the results or not. lol. My flowmaster super 40's got a little more throaty after 100-200 miles. just drive it and enjoy it.

there is no fiberglass inside of a corsa muffler so the sound that you hear when it's new is the sound you will always hear

i have the corsa catback no LTs yet and after a few hundred miles a few people told me it sounded better than when i first put it on, i couldnt notice much a difference but i think it was just cause i was used to it. i say corsa FTW though, ive never been a fan of borla tips or sound on fbodys

I wasn't happy with the sound of Corsa at all when it first went on. I am not sure what changed but is sound pretty damn good now. I also have a Kooks catted Y though so a lot of the break in might have been for the cats. At first the tone was too high for my taste like a hopped up V6, now it is deaper and sound great.

I agree you shouldn't hear much difference from the catback alone. However, I did hear a big difference but again most likely due to the cats breaking in I would guess.
