I like the Corsa.
Borla or Magnaflow?

That's not saying much. ONE resonator on my car weighs about 20 pounds or so!!!

I'd go with Magnaflow; I mean the guy was able to get scratch in 2nd gear in that video!
Yeah, but we have a saying at the strip: "Never brag about bad traction!"

That's not difficult at all, LOL. It'll break loose in 3rd.

For some reason though, they have a rep for being one of the heaviest systems out there (if that means anything to you), at least in C5/C6 Vette circles.
Maybe they use a thicker walled 304 than everyone else, or their tips are a MUCH heavier gauge??

Then that, and the lower cost, would force me to choose the Corsa if I were you, and going aftermarket.

I know, I was just jokin. I still think the stock system sounds the best. Quiet enough but has a noticeable throaty roar when you mash it.

I have Borla Cat-backs on two of my vehicles and really like them but that Corsa sounds bad [censored] and is what I would get on that vehicle.

I have a borla system on my camaro...quality and fit are outstanding. The corsa does sound very good though. I have driven dozens of E39 M5's...I agree that the stock exhaust is not loud enough...and not to mention the stock exhaust weighs as much as a 3 series haha,anything that makes it louder and drops some weight is good in my opinion.

At least their system for the 5th gens is good looking, and 'fits' the car.
Their 4th gen system on a Camaro is *****, with those 4 square outlets angled out under the rear bumper with no cutouts in the bodywork for them, too 'hillbilly' for me!
They DO sound great though, and look OK on Firebirds with their cutout rear valance.

Yup, I'm decided on the Corsa. I'll be picking it up over the winter and putting it on in the spring when the car comes out of hibernation. The sound is "perfect".

Haha yes I forgot how ugly the borla systems are for the fourth gens! I have the borla atak system..its the loudest catback they offer for my car...its just right for my taste.
