Borla seems raspy and loud to me. Corsa would be my choice. Sounds more refined. You will get mixed feelings on the subject though. I ran a borla setup for almost a year and hated it with or without the plate. just obnoxious sounding to me. But that is just my opinion.

If you were to ask me what I would do I would suggest a magnaflow setup.

I've got the corsa on my 98 and when I had the stock setup with the corsa it sounded great. Pretty deep tone, pretty quiet too until you hit the throttle hard. But I could tell it got louder as it aged, not sure what made that occur but it still sounded really nice. Only problem now though is I put mid-length headers in and an off road Y so the rasp is hoooorrible!! Great setup though, no fitment issues whatsoever and was easy to install.

I would agree with the recommendation of Magnaflow.

I personally like borla over corsa. Corsa has more of an "exotic" tone that I don't think should be in a V8.

This video was when I had my ORY so it was VERY loud!
