Borla Exhaust

deam · February 24th, 2007, 03:15 AM

I've been interested in buying the borla mufflers/exhaust for the SRT, but i've read a few things about losing HP etc.
My question is, how is it that the borla will lose hp numbers, and the corsa won't, aren't their designs similar, besides two mufflers (corsa) and one long muffler (borla)? Is it back pressure? What makes the borla exhaust so different than the Corsa? Besides sound. Don't they both eliminate the cross over? I have borla on my hummer, and I love the sound. I'm interested in getting the borla, as i'm pretty happy with their products so far, But I dont want to lose HP.

Thanks in advance

Corsa uses better resonators and better quailty bends in the pipes.

Deam, you have a PM

Bends??? The exhaust is straight until the turn outs....hardly any bends to speak of. Also the Corsa Track does not use resonators.

Just fyi, you can compare the sound of a Borla to a Corsa exhaust on a Viper SRT-10 here...

Thats not a fair comparison. From what I read, the Corsa car in that vid had cats, the Borla car didnt. There is a big difference in sound without cats. That vid doesnt do the Corsa justice. I like the Corsa better. But thats just my opinion.

I've always thought corsa sounded weak at slow speeds and in idle. Doesn't borla supposedly make some of the mopar exhausts..?

Yes, Borla makes the Mopar "Street" and "Race" exhausts.

ive decided to get corsa track, heard it the other day, and WOW.

If you do Corsa, go catless, more power and torque, plus it sounds pissed off.
I did a before and after dyno, so I got to see and feel a difference.

Sadistic · February 27th, 2007, 02:49 PM

How much power difference was there without the cats and is there a difference with just the corsa alone?

Saleen99 · February 27th, 2007, 03:47 PM

Both sound great!!

Sadistic · February 27th, 2007, 04:01 PM

Who cares about sound? Show me the numbers.

v10kingsnake · February 27th, 2007, 04:15 PM

the numbers will only be a couple, if any difference, like i said, go with what you think sounds best. otherwise you will not be happy.

ILLSMOQ · February 27th, 2007, 04:26 PM

Best I can give you....

my car - corsa track, no cats vs MikeR's car corsa track with high flow cats

Or MikeR's car - corsa track high flow cats vs MikeR's car - corsa track, no cats and DC computer.

deam · February 27th, 2007, 04:43 PM

I cant believe cats make that big of a difference in power! How "smogy" does it get around the car catless? I drive the car everyday, would it be extremely noticable?? I went catless on my rx8, and wow did it smell. Luckly i didnt get pulled over.

What numbers does the srt10 make stock??

MikeR · February 27th, 2007, 06:17 PM

Typically srt's dyno about 420-440 stock. Ive seen people post so many different #'s. And as far as catless, I did smell it a little more at first, it was weird though cause I either got used to it or it went awya. But I dont notice it at all now. But Ill have friends say they can smell it.

And as far as dyno #'s, its not even really the peak #, its the fat part of the curve that really jumps up when you go catless. People argue if there is a power difference or not, I feel there is. ILLSMOQ and I were both at the same dyno 3-4 times in a 2 week period after doing different changes.

I got My Borla Exhaust at borlaparts.com I had to call to get the lowest price but they gave it to me for just about $700 shipped

ledfoot · September 13th, 2007, 05:49 PM

Deam, I;ve got Corsa/High flows, Since I'm around the corner from you, let me know if you want to hear it.........not sure how much hp gain, but it feels faster without the gay stock set-up...........Dave

deam · September 13th, 2007, 11:11 PM

Wow 97GTSBLUE talk about bring up an old thread LOL, its ok I did it a few times too, its a noob thing.

Hey ledfoot, thanks for the offer, I was strongly considering corsa, but I needed to go catless. So I did for the past 6+ months or so with the mopar race exhaust. Love the obnoxious sound, and so far No Problems here in fremont with the PO-po. Are you in the niles area?
