Borla stingers or Corsa

[azzkiknZO6]

Is there a big difference ? Beside the $1000.00 I would save buying the Borla. I'm leaning twords the Corsa because titanium but now thinking of Borla for the price.

Please help

I am trying to decide between these two systems as well. The Corsa is lighter and the Borla is cheaper. Which is louder? I think that I might have to hear them in person.

I like the stingers. For the money, sound, HP, weight, look etc. I think the Corsa is a great system. But the Borla makes the most sense for me. By the way I love the sound very little to no resonance, and freakin nasty at WOT. Check out the latest Corvette Fever their is a good article on the Borla Stinger. LPE say's they have no comp. they are the best he's tested. JMHO

After having dealt with the borla system on my dad's LT1 coupe, I refuse to even consider their stuff any more.

It was that bad.

I've heard several Corsa's, except for the Ti's. I rate them very similar to the PRT's, with maybe a lttle more burble in the Corsas.

My Bro FUBU has the Stingers on his Z and they are LOUD!! VERY LOUD!! The car sounded like a NASCAR going down the road. Very cool sound. When I returned home to drive my Z, my PRTs sounded stock!!

I guess that it all depends on what you want.....I have the Corsa Exhaust Pro Tips (Pace Car Edition) and I think they sound GREAT! I also have the Corsa X-Pipe.

This is what it sounds like....

Stinger people - any power gains?

[MikesZ06]

Ira, I think you may misjudge the Borlas. They are not that loud at idle or low rpm cruise, just a deeper, throatier sound. I will admit though, once you punch it, you will get noticed. Don't get me wrong, I think the Corsas' sound great but wouldn't trade the Borlas for anything.

The Borla system is a better choice for me. Besides saving $800-$1300 over the Corsa Titanium systems (with basically the same power gain), the main reason I wouldn't use the Corsa system is because it requires cutting the stock h-pipe for fitment. Since I want to keep my complete (manifold back) stock exhaust system in tack, in case I decide to go back to stock in the future or sell the car. The Borla Stingers are a direct bolt-on, and no cutting is required to use this system.

Hey Mike, you're right.....What I wrote was not a fair statement so I deleted it / edited my post. That really wasn't what I meant to say.

Thanks for the input. I wouldn't want to push someone in the wrong direction. I don't really care for the Corsa Ti sound anyway.....the pace car system sounds better to me and it requires no cutting. X- Pipe goes in with no problems either. The guy that installed it said that the X-Pipe makes a big difference.
