I'll give my opinion only because I have experience with Borla. Yeah,......Borla = okay quality. They sound great, but quality isn't a top priority over there, I assume. Too bad.

Yep especially since they are some of the most expensive exhaust on the market!

JCStang

For the price they charge...quality should be top of the bunch....

Unfortunately, that's what I'm discovering...the hard way

I figured they charged that much due to quality and sound. Perhaps I just had an anomaly. Corsas are pricey too, so hopefully it will be better in those respects.

Time to move on. Corsa is top notch.

Sorry to hear about that Z. I know how much you liked your Borla's. Maybe it was all the new HP you have now that cracked them. No exhaust is strong enough for Marilyn.

Thanks Sean. That's why I decided to switch to them. I'm looking forward to the new system. You'll see and hear about it on 4/12

Did you see the texts I sent you? Isn't that wild? Here's another... All my borlas in the last week or so, plus the one on my car. All had issues... Sigh....

Lol... Thanks sir, but I wish that was the issue/reason for all this. Here's a pic of what all started this a week or so ago. Check out this crack! That's quality of weld and SS quality, IMO.

Did you drill the drain holes in the Borla ?

yes, ill be looking forward to the video

lol? okay quality? sound like a hater bro.

Borla is the best tuned exhaust in the market. you can't beat it.

I knew I forgot to type that out when I stated my previous post. I knew something was going to ask that when I forgot to mention. But yes, I drilled weep holes in all my exhausts. In fact, I drilled all the weep holes in the 4 exhausts that I have in my house right now… I've gotten so good at it I can actually drill it without even measuring it. Isn't that sad? :-) what's even more sad is that I drilled all those holes for nothing… Since I'll be shipping them back shortly.


No, Tony is not a hater. He's had some prior experience with borla. And since I have always been a big supporter of Borla, one cannot argue that given the latest circumstances, it has left me with some doubt. There's no arguing that they sound fantastic. Those of you who have known me over the course of three years know that I loved my borlas. But The weld issues, followed by three Exhausts this week that had fitment issues, it has left me scratching my head…

i believe you. i've been through a situation like this before. it sucks man. Hopefully that corsa can fix all your problems. It sounds fantastic. im looking forward to the vid clip.

it's louder than the borla which is nice. sounds like an upgrade for you from the borla

Sorry to hear about your Borla troubles. I just got my Kooks in yesterday evening and installed them last night. The quality is better than I could have imagined. They sound ridiculous in person. Super deep and just enough crackle. I also got mine from Hypermotive. Top notch and I'm just guessing but I'm pretty sure they will be getting a lot of money from me in the future.

Azrael

What are you going to do with the Borlas? Just curious, as I would not mind finding some at a decent price to get re-welded or cut/fit/welded just to try them out...

Good luck with the Corsas, hope you will post a sound clip when you get them!

kylerohde

Dang, Burton, you've got a lot of old threads to go back and edit posts about recommending Borlas in!

Bummer to hear that and amazing the product deteriorated that badly in a car driven only in good weather like yours. Then you have DD cars like mine and DivaDanielle's with no issues whatsoever. What a weird deal.

Rog13GTCS

That is bad. Good luck with your new Corsa's they look great, cant wait to see the video.

i missed this thread some how.. sorry to hear about this Burton.. i have heard quad corsa exhaust and they are as equally mean as borla...i have seen the black powder coated tips ones but not sure they look good on stangs.. saw them on an S4 they looked killer.

DarrenGT

sorry to hear of this. 4 exhausts in a few weeks? what a pain in the ****, not to mention repacking and shipping, the efforts to try and install. Hope the Corsa's are the answer!

FromZto5

I heard great things about Kooks as well. I'm stoked about my new set.

Another Kooks lover? I need to hear a set in person. Quality was good, Steve? And yes, Dan at Hyper is awesome. Just got off the phone with him just now actually, with another question regarding something else.

The Borlas (all 4 sets) have to go back to Borla. They are paying for the shipping, etc... they need them back to do analysis plus the refund for me. Warranty and customer service is still great. I have nothing bad to say. The quality, however, is suspect.

Kyle... since you know me for almost 3 years now, you know I was one of the biggest shouters for Borla. I loved them. I was shocked at this happening. I figured it happened to Roush pieces... LOL

I guess Karma is a *****. haha...

But yeah, so I barely put 4.5k miles on her, never in rain, never in dirt, etc.... then the welds break through? hmmmmm

thanks sir. Video will be up this weekend if install goes well. I'm phobic now with fit issues. Ugh.

Thx Shiaz... it's crazy man, crazy.

Kid you not, 4 exhausts. You saw the pic of my front door right? None of those 3 there, fit right. Can you believe it?

ugh.

Quality is top notch. They are made is a rather small shop in Statesville, North Carolina so there's less assembly line corner cutting. I think that makes the QC a little higher. They sound great. I just posted a nice HD vid in the exhaust thread.
