I'm sorry, but there really isn't even a need for this post. CORSA FTW. I know they are VERY expensive for an f-body catback, but they are the craziest sounding exhaust up top on a LSX engine I have heard yet.

P.S don't listen to choco. Up until a month ago he didn't even know he had a corsa
you have a very poor concept of time.

borla sounds pretty nasty. nothing else sounds like it, that's for sure, it's extremely unique. it's a love/hate exhaust. unfortunately, i think it sounds awful and tips IMO are hideous.

Borla. The tips rule. Sound is adjustable. Goes from quiet as stock to turnin heads for blocks. I also like the way the muffler tucks up and shows off the 12 bolt.

it's a little hard to see but this is how the tips fill out the back bumper. If you keep them shiny, they look amazing

raise your brightness if you need to.

I agree 100%. I guarantee you will love the Corsa and the tips are by far the best.

I'll add another post.

I despise borla. I've driven and been around catted, non catted, etc, etc, borla setups and I hate it. It sounds like an 88 GM toploader with a glasspack on it. Same goes for GMMG too.

raspy sounding expensive junk imo.

sound is a relative subject though, some people love it, some hate it, etc.

Borla is okay, I have it.

Sounds pretty good with stock manifolds and cats. Sounds kinda crappy with LTs and no cats, ORY. Really raspy under rapid acceleration.

Sounds great under wot though.

I'd go GMMG if I changed. (or duals)
