Borla issues, possibly switching to Corsas... Need input pls
Folks... I'll explain once it's all resolved. But meantime, anyone running Corsa extremes? What are your thoughts on:
- Quality (most important)
- Fit (everything lines up, lengths, etc)
- Of course sound...
Any thoughts on how it will sound with borla x pipe and OTA pipes that I already have?
Also I pinged Jay at hypermotive.... Waiting for a response on price. Any other recommendations?
Thanks guys.

What I find so shocking is that Borla is KNOWN for their quality, etc. So I'm really shocked at this. Really. Weld cracks, then fitment issues. I remember, set 2 this week, the right side was off by close to 1". I'm like… wtf.
Anyways, more info to come.

But anyways, back on topic… here's some good vids I found on Corsas. I really like them too. They were on my top 3 a couple years ago when I went with Borlas. I know their quality and fitment is top notch too.
Thoughts on the below?

Sounds like I'll be going with the Corsas. That's too bad. I loved my Borlas. But oh well, change is good.
I'm finalizing my order with Hypermotive… what are your guys' thoughts on Stainless Steel polished tips or Black stainless steel tips? I saw the black ones and I thought they looked great. Just wondering how they'll look like on my car. Hmmmm… thoughts?

Hmm.. This makes me wonder about my S-types. I was gonna go back to my exhaust guy and blame him as the passenger side muffler sticks out further than the driver side. I will need to measure everything. Hope you get it figured out and the Corsa's sound pretty good.

I found another vid… that I thought was pretty cool. He just needed to shut off that dang music though. Ugh.
From what I can tell, they sound smoother than the Borlas… not sure about volume. I'll find out this week, lol. But I think they sound deeper??? hmmm

or.
Just stick with Stainless steel… decisions decisions. I need to decide before I place my order with Jay/Dan at Hyper. Left a message with him though, I need to place my order tonight.
As for Borla trying to help me, they have been. I have no ill will towards them at all. Steve and Chris have been very helpful at Borla. Just some weird stuff going on with the last few sets. I've been under my car 4 times in the last week. It was getting old. However, I've been able to replace and install my axle backs in 45 minutes now, tops. LOL.

those corsa's sound amazing!
You should def get them.
I know you're having some issue with borla...just like some members on here are having issues with the bama tune.
**** happens...there are items which are defective, 1/1000 or 1/100 whatever the case may be. It happens. It shouldn't happen since we are paying a **** load of money for them. If they were cheap, i'd say yeah, you get what you pay for.
But yeah, i understand where you're coming from...4 sets of exhausts in your house, that's not even funny.
Go with corsa's. They sound lovely, yes they sound louder than the borla s-types. love it. Heard good things about corsa.

Didn't know if you wanted to wait, but I'm getting my Corsas in a few days probably, and I've got sound recording equipment that does a much better job than camera or phone mics. It may not make too much difference, but thought I'd offer the info.

I loved the borla sound. You know how much I loved their sound. But alas, I can't live with weld and fitment issues. Tbh, the corsas sound a lot deeper, and smoother. I've never heard them in person, except on a vette. And they sound really good too. So if anything, it will be different. I'm stoked about it. From what I hear, the Extremes are the same level as the Ataks... But louder. . I can't imagine them with a full catback which is what I have.

Well folks, it's done. I ordered my brand new Corsa Extremes! I chose the SS tip. The black SS tip, though gorgeous, would blend in too much and disappear within the stock valence.
Sound wise, I heard the Extremes are louder than the Ataks! Lol... Maybe I should have gone with sports. Not. With my full catback system, I have a feeling Marilyn will be very mean. As always, I'll post pics, vids, and a review this weekend when I get it.
Many thanks to Dan at hypermotive. Quick response, great pricing, and as always EXCELLENT customer service. I can't wait for th to arrive.

if I were you, I'd just take the car to an exhaust shop and have them sort out the borlas.
Mine have settled to a point where I think they sit kinda low, and I'm highly considering just taking it to a shop and have them sort it out.

And on top of that, as a paying customer, I shouldn't have to deal with those hassles. Products should fit right and have no quality issues whatsoever.
I love their sound.... But after 4 exhaust sets, something ain't right.

I would have gone with Corsa's if I didn't end up with a great deal on my Kooks axle backs. Loved that Corsa sound on my 10 GT. They were the sports though and a bit mild. Good choice on the Extremes, definitely the way to go. Can't wait to hear them!
