Borla Or Corsa

[hemimania]

whats everyone running corsa or borla? where was it bought from, and if ya dont mind what did ya pay?

[MADDOG`]

I prefer the Corsa systems. I got mine from SoCalMotorsports.com. Great folks to work with. I put the system on my Cool Vanilla C, then found an SRT8. I just put a couple of Magnaflow 11235 mufflers on it today to try them out.

Also, the MOPAR accessory exhaust available at your dealer is a Corsa product with a different logo on the tips. Other than that, it's the same system.

Corsa products are high quality, well made and fit well. Corsa systems are quiet at idle, nice burble in the mid range and really sound nasty at higher RPM's. And, there's absolutely NO DRONE when you hit MDS while cruising down the highway.

Anyway, can ya tell I prefer Corsa? lololol

I told the rep at SoCalMotorsports.com that I wouldn't advertise his price but I'd call him. Here's the contact info:

You might consider Zoomers. They are a site sponsor and I talked to Frank and Dave and I ordered their system. When it arrives I will evaluate, video the install, record the new sound and post it along with performance improvements. "My Black Beauty":) will then sound like the Bad Boy Hemi I know it is.

Its all what your looking for in sound those two are on different sides of hte spectrum. Borla Deep and loud. Corsa quiet and more high pitched.
You should give Zoomers some consideration also. You get the mean sound without the drone

[BigShowGOMANGO!]

zoomers man.....go with the zoomers

I heard all 3 (Borla, Corsa, Zoomers) and there was no question that Corsa was the way to go. Ended up not getting an exhaust until I had the new car, but I bought from Corsa anyway. I used TByrne just before Corsa had to raise their prices. Check w/ all the supporting vendors.

[fatchance]

I've heard them all. Borla is the qiutest, Corsa and then Zoomers. For all around balance with no drone and performance Corsa hands down. I had a conversation with Ralph Gilles not long ago and Corsa is his only choice.

Maybe Borla 112's are quiet but Borla 125's are Loud

Is the borla tw0 muffler system the quitest of the three ar the other borla?

[feros]

I like the aggressive sound of my Borla 125 with JBA Headers and hi flow cats. IMO: nothing better.

[gsjoe]

Ralph has 3" corsa on his charger and corsa has the contract with mopar for the performance exaust. Maybe there is a reason he backs corsa and I am sure there is. Man his Charger SRT is really fast. If corsa would have stuck with offering a 3" system I may have went that way too.

[MikeEast]

I've had the Borla 112, a pair of Magnaflows with Zoomers tips and now a full Zoomers setup. I love the Zoomers, but I have to admit, after hearing Glenn Harper's (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v619/MikeEast/2007/DynoLab%20in%20Marietta/?action=view&current=P1090671.flv) Corsas I'd have to vote for them.

Check out the other videos in that folder, there are a couple of other dyno pulls in there.

Mike

edit: Oops - that link was Glenn's RT, I /think/ it had Corsas on it as well, here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v619/MikeEast/2007/DynoLab%20in%20Marietta/May17/?action=view&current=P1100366.flv) is his SRT8/Corsa dyno pull...

[gsjoe]

I have to admit, the corsa's do sound good. The borla's do too, depending on one's preference to sound, the choices are good. I think that sound is secondary to performance increase. I like the theory in the zoomers expansion chamber and venturi tips for a HP and torque increace above the others. If that puts mine ahead, y'all can listen to the zoomers sound from back there.:)

[gsjoe]

Hey, kidding aside, I have a question. I notice on most of the dyno pulls, the reading is taken at a higher speed in a higher gear. When I had mine done, the guy did it in 1st gear only, the whole pull. As soon as it shifted to 2nd, he let off. Which is better?

[MikeEast]

I went from a pair of Magnaflow mufflers (not their catback one) with Zoomers Cannon tips to a full Zoomers catback and gained 25ft lbs of torque at the next dyno session (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v619/MikeEast/2007/DynoLab%20in%20Marietta/?action=view&current=P1090675.flv)(314/350 to 319/375). I can't explain it other than the new mufflers.

I couldn't back it up when we went back the second time though...

Are you sure if he would have did first gear it would have lasted all of about a half a second

[MikeEast]

Most runs are 3rd gear pulls, the driver will easy shift through second, into third, then run it up to about 70 or so and floor it until redline.

At least that's what happened every time I've been to one..

[SMK HEMI]

Let's put it this way. I have heard them all, but when I followed a certain car at last years Vegas caravan I knew. CORSA it just had to be. I'm the type of person that wants the best and does research. After living it I can tell you there isn't any substitute. Just like I said when I got one. CORSA it's no bull....oh and by the way that conversation with Ralph is no joke. I was there.

[MikeEast]

So how come the Borla 112 has 'Mopar' stamped all over it, and I got it from a Dodge dealer, with a Dodge part number?

Or has that changed?

Mike

[hemimania]

im reading on another forum, that corsa makes the exhust for chrysler 6.1 and borla makes the exhust for chryslers 5.7. and they both are stamped mopar.

[Youngz1]

Go with the Corsas! You won't be disappointed!

[gsjoe]

Well, I went with ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOMERS:thumbs_u:

[InferAl]

Well, I went with ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOMERS:thumbs_u:

I would say you are a happy man then

[MikeEast]

Well, I went with ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOMERS:thumbs_u:I have to agree with your choice - my Zoomers are mellowing out some and have deepened in tone over time. I rarely even listen to the stereo anymore, just ride with the window down, listening to the tunes coming out the back of the car..

Mike

[trsmagnum]

Of the three which is loudest, corsa,zoomers,or borla 2 muffler

[gsjoe]

ditto here, I like to just listen to the sound.
I do need to adjust some because on left turns I here a thunk on the floor.
I'll take it in monday lift it and look see what is up.

[gsjoe]

Why is my sig picture so big?

[fatchance]

Corsa will be the qiutest under normal conditions, the others will just drive you crazy. Here is a video taken yesterday so JonW's Srt8 with Corsa.

Not having heard the Borla 125's (I'm assuming that what you meant?) I couldn't say, the Zoomers I'd say are louder than the Corsas. Neither will bother you with drone.

I think the Zoomers are deeper toned, even a little boomier than the Corsas - which sound (to me) like ripping velvet when pushed. A more refined almost ferrari-ish tone more than a beefy smallblock sound if you can picture that.

[greggk]

im surprised no one with a B&B exhaust has chimed in yet....

[ChitownMSRT8]

Corsa all the way. I have had my Corsa's since june of last year and they sound that much better! I paid $1035.00 plus $30.00 for shipping from sportztrailers.com on Ebay. Hope this helps.
