A LOT is the answer, now how many cars have tips like borla? not very many. I like thing unique like myself...or maybe im jsut a little to unique

I'm not knocking the Corsa system, because I've never heard it in person, but didn't some people have problems with it rusting (https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ght=corsa+rust) and falling apart? It just depends what kind of sound you like. I have the Borla and I'm happy with it.

I'm biased...

Here's a couple more vids for ya... I like the Borla b/c it's quiet at low r's and LOUD at high r's, it wakes up quickly.

http://videos.camaroz28.com/search/B...2f0110dd9f.htm

http://videos.camaroz28.com/search/B...2f01205717.htm

THis V vid, I shifted to 4th for a second then got off it.. that why the tach was/is a bit weird. Was also drving and holding the camera. I wasn't really @ WOT till about 4500 RPM. -T-tops off windows down. Went from 5th, down to 4th, then down to 3rd... then did the pull. That is, I htink, a good sample of how quiet the Borla is at low R's. Up top it gets quite a bit louder. -Also a bad transmission, didn't want to beat it too bad.

THe last vid is my LONG turn leaving base. I was in 3rd I think. Wasn't WOT until the very end.

I like the less drone of the corsa and the sound. Its kinda quiet until you get on it, unlike the borla which is always loud, but that is why I like corsa! And in my humble opinoin... the borla tips kinda look like a starfish to me. I dont like that nor the pic of that chick, she could use some plastic sugurey or a bag. lol j/k all in good fun.

....??... THe Borla is VERY quiet at idle. Not stock quiet, but it's def quiet. Check my vids I posted.

IMO, go for a generally LOUD muffler or get a system that is loud when you want it to be and quiet when you want it ot be. I actually thought of taking my cats off cause the Bolra was almost too quiet for me. If you want a REALLY quiet Borla, add the e-cutout where the plate would go... THat's 100% adjustability!

From your videos Borla didn't seem that quiet at idle. I never heard Borla in person, but love my Corsa for it's deep sound and how quiet it is until you get on it. Driving 85mpg on the highway, car sounds almost stock with LT's. No inside drone at all, but once you floor it, you start scaring people around you...
