Borla or Corsa?

You might want to hold off on buying them though, I have read one report that the exhaust for the 07's is different and the axlebacks that fit 05's and 06's may not fit 07's. I would be really surprised if this is true, but still it warrants taking a wait-and-see approach for a while. Personally I want to get several thousand miles on my 07 before making any mod's anyway just to make sure there aren't any warranty issues that need addressing. I'd rather get everything fixed while it's still stock so the dealer doesn't have any excuses

To add to the battle here, go with CORSA!!!
Holy S****, I heard them about 4 weeks ago at a car show and they sounded amazing. Its got that rumble, gurgle, burple everyone is looking for! Roaring loud when the guy revved it.
Only thing I hate about the Bora's is the Ear Hurting Drone. And corsa claims no drone. I would def. go with the Corsa's!

For those worried about it being too quiet, if you purchase them and still think so, add an offroad H pipe. Otherwise, quit wondering and just do it.

I can't really speak to either yet. I have the FRPP stingers (Borla) on order but haven't heard them in person yet. To be real honest, I mostly wanted them b/c they are louder and have Ford Racing scripted on the top of the tips ... very cool.
To be really really honest, I wanted to post something on topic, rather than just butting in to play "daddy" earlier.
BTW - thanks TacoBill, you rock and your car looks great!

It took me over a month of going back and forth and I finally settled on my Borla Stiners (part # 11750). The sound at start up is awesome, and going through the gears at WOT is AMAZING!! Just recently at a 4th of July picnic, I took one of my friend's brother's out for a ride in my car, and got on it a good amount. When I got back, he said to me, he could hear my car way up the street about a mile out! Told me the car now has a REAL NICE soundtrack!!

I wanted to add to the drone debate, 'cos while I have Magnapacks, they suffered from the drone problem after I installed them. But, I recently removed the Airaid intake and put the stock box back in and I now have almost no drone worth mentioning. There was clearly a symbiotic resonance occurring between the two ends of the car. This may be impacting the Borlas as well as the Stingers are very similar to the Magnapacks.

I too have the Airaid system, and the drone has been there well before I got my Airaid installed. It only happens when I'm in 4th (or 5th) gear, and am between 1,700-2,000 RPM'S. When I hit 2,100, it goes away. The Airaid didn't add any more drone at all.

Installed my FRPPs (Borla) Saturday - what a great way to spend your birthday by the way - and I love them! Nice low rumble. My thoughts on drone - if you don't want to hear the horses run, don't buy louder mufflers. Or turn the radio up. Glad I could help ...

Borlas all the way...they have a deeper tone than the Corsas. I have the FRPP kit and they rock. I don't have a clip of them, but here is a link to XR-1's on my 89. I know not apples to apples, but it's all I've got. (and it sounds sweet!)

I went with the Corsa's and am glad I listened to other's people's comments about exhaust. I know me, and I know that eventually having to hear a drone everytime I drove a car would end up driving me nuts . But as has been said many times, and now that I can verify, there is no drone with the Corsa's, and I love the way they sound, especially at WOT. Very well made quality product.

1 for corsa.
I've got the borla's and the drone is tremendous at the 1800-2000 range. A buddy just put on corsa's and the tone isn't quite as nice as the Borla's but no drone and that says a lot. My vote is Corsa's. \
* * * Anybody interested in getting a set of Borla cat backs, pm me. They look great (polished the cans) and still have the boxes they came in. Only have about 500 miles on them anyway. * * *

I just installed Corsa’s on my 06 and couldn’t be happier with the sound. Exhaust sound is like picking audio speakers everyone likes different qualities. I was looking for something just a little louder than stock at idle and part throttle but with a good low rumble quality. The Corsa gives me this without any drone whatsoever but still is plenty loud at wot. I almost went with the Stingers but they are a little too loud for me and I didn’t want the drone at cruise as I do a lot of highway driving.

Ordered Corsa today. After seeing and hearing them in person during the Telegraph Cruise yesterday, I was sold on them. I was looking for a great sounding exhaust that is quiet (i.e. no drone or interior resonance when you don't want it). I think I will be extremely pleased with my decision.
Anyone interested in buying a set of MRT exhaust tips? If so, send me a PM...
