So I've had the borla set-up on the car for the last 4 years... and it sounds nice. But it is a little loud. Been thinking about replacing it with the Corsa. Any opinions one way or another on that?

For those of you with the Corsa, is it really quieter? Does the drone really go away?

And add a "hell yes" to the noise factor. The Corsa's are plenty loud when you're on it, but are pretty darn quiet (especially with high-flow cats) when you're just cruising. I have off-the-shelf corsas on my DLM RT.

Yes and Yes. Loud when you want it - refined when you need it. In my humble opinion the Corsa is the best neighborhood friendly, kick a$$ WOT, deep rumble exhaust.

It's not obnoxious all the time, but loud when you want it. There really isn't a lot of drone and is pretty quiet - especially crusing in 6 gear on long trips.

YES & YES, You will love it. As said before nice and mellow at cruise, not that UPS Truck sound. Get on it and it sounds great! Even other Viper owners ask what exhaust is on the car.

I drove a Bellanger/high-flow cat/Borla Viper a few weeks ago... It sounded loud all the time, wasn't a 'pleasing' 'satisfying' loud, either. The drone was like stock, but 10 times louder and more annoying. The Corsa is soooo much better in every way, IMO. No drone, quiet at cruise, and screams like an exotic at 3000 RPM and above. The sound at WOT is so 'mean' and 'pleasing'. You will love the Corsa. Of course, some people love the Borla :confused:

Borla has a NEW system #140049 that has 2 MORE mufflers at the rear ala Corsa (if ya can't beat 'em....). supposed to be ALOT quieter.

Anyone in this thread heard it yet?

I have dealt with both companies and thus far, CORSA has been much more customer friendly and professional, and YES, it sounds great! Visit their web site for a taste!!
