Borla or Corsa?

I'm two weeks in on my 2007 GT order and torn between the Borla Stingers/FRPP(M-5230-5GT) and the Corsa axle-backs. This mod is the most difficult as I want the sound to be perfect and compliment the car. I originally choose the SLP LM, however, don't want to do a swap-out ever year to be in compliance with state inspection laws. Opinions welcomed. Thanks

Corsa! Borla is great, don't get me wrong. But for these cars, in my opinion, Corsa is the way to go. I even preferred the Bassani kit for these cars more than the Borla. But switching from Bassani to Corsa made all the difference. No drone, no resonance, great looking, unique design, and pretty rare. They are more money, but its worth it.

I'm not hating on Borla by any means, but you Borla lovers can still flame me if you want, lol.

Holy crap man! That video almost killed me. The one on the right hand side. I turned up the volume to hear them at idle and then BAM!!! I amost blew my lung or some crap like that.

I must admit they sound very sexy.

That reaffirms my believe that new Mustangs sound like crap, even compared to my V6 Nissan.

I'm pretty sure the Stingers are 49 State legal, CA being the exception.

So PA should be safe.

What exactly are you doing on a Mustang forum? Looking at your sig info I can't figure it out. Is life too boring over on the Nissan forums?

I like Mustangs. I just don't like the way new ones sound. I love the way old ones sound. And I love the way all of 'em except the Mustang II look. Can't I say it doesn't sound good? My Z sounds more like a classic Stang than a new one does...

Oh, and BTW, if my credit was better, I'd be driving a '69 Olds Cutlass right nwo...

Looking at my sig? It's my dream car of the month, which is a Mustang, a link to a general musclecar site (where I talked about my love of Cobra Jet Mustangs), and lyrics to a song? Where do you get Nissan from?

EDITED

PLEASE READ THE FORUM RULES. NAME CALLING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

***** ****...
Under your avatar, it says "Car: I have a '93 Nissan Z, and will be inheriting an '02 Chevy 3/4 pickup in 2 years."

And for your info, I'm far from stupid. As for being a *****, I don't think I am but hey, maybe others do. Have a nice day.

EDIT- Adrenalin, thanks for editing the insult out of the other guys' posts
