GM performance catback vs. Borla Touring catback vs. Corsa sport catback

[dieselfan1]

I just traded my 22 LTD High Country 6.2 on a 23 High Country 6.2. 

I want to do a catback but not sure if I want another Borla.

The 22 I had a Borla Touring catback with the stock tips. Sounded pretty good . But it did drone a little bit. 

I suspect the missing flapper causes this.

Does the GM performance setup (Borla Touring) have a flapper?

How about the Corsa?

Does the Corsa sound not as deep as the Borla? More crackely?

Any drone?

I am leaning toward the Corsa at this point.

I know exhaust sound is subjective but I need some solid info.

Either way it will be a quad tip setup. The HDMI tips are not my favorite.

Corsa is the best, but you can't go quad tips in there sport exhaust. Atleast you couldn't in 2021 when I had my 2019 High Country. They didn't make quad tips for rear exit on new body style.

TNT... I remembered you had a Corsa on your HC.

Was it it a 6.2?

I have the GM performance exhaust. No drone. A little bark at startup but not annoying. I don't need or want people a block over to hear it. You can tell it's there just not obnoxious.

Does it have a flapper before the muffler?

Yes sir!!  It sounds fantastic with the 6.2L.

Looks like they offer it now with quad tips from picture.  That's a game changer for sure. Corsa makes fantastic tips. Corsa to me is a no Brainer with a GM small block 

 

Good luck with your decision.

Corsa.

 

Or trade your 2023 for a 2024 as GM just announced factory dual mode active exhaust standard on 6.2s.

I ordered the Corsa. Found one $170 less than everyone else. I just googled Corsa 21200 and there was bunch of them.

Should be here later this week.

I ordered the Corsa 21201 on Sunday - I'm anxiously awaiting delivery.  I had the Corsa on my '14 6.2 also - loved it.  I pulled it off before trade-in to sell separately as trade-in value was $0.

Got the Corsa installed. 

Sounds killer.

Sounds similar to a buddy of mines C7 Vette.

It is louder than I thought it would be but I like it.

Cold start is off the charts killer.

Sounds so much better than my 22 with the Borla Touring setup.

Oh man, your neighbors are gonna love ya (if you have any close by).

I don't care about the neighbors. They have loud schitt too.

After a few days with the Corsa, I have to say, it is perfect.

I had a Borla Touring on my 22 LTD High Country 6.2 and it had a deeper tone sometimes when in L9 at around 1000 rpm( 50mph) ,  I never cared for the tone. Above 2000 rpm and it had a deep roar that sounds good.

The corsa has more of a bark though.

It's a little louder.

Especially the cold starts. Sounds badass.

But it tames down.

Sound similar to a C7 Vette all the way through the rpms.

At cruise you can barely hear it in cab.

IMO after having both,

Corsa #1

Borla #2

Can't say, I didn't tell you so! LOL

 

Once I bought Corsa on my HC, I would never go back to anything else. (I had Gibson, Magnaflow, and Flowmaster).

 

Glad you are enjoying it, and the tips look awesome!!
