S650 aftermarket exhaust borla vs. corsa ?

[miikepk]

I wish you could just buy the Corsa extreme axle backs, I already have the H-pipe and love it, I don't need the rest of the system just the axle backs.

They do sell just the axlebacks. Xtremes are just sports axlebacks and xpipe. If you buy that axlebacks off Corsa, it will be loud. I had those axlebacks and steeda x and damn, way too loud.

I would go with the Borla S type. That is going to be one of my favorite systems, and it sounds great on these cars. It keeps a deeper tone, but still screams at wide open throttle!

Let us know if we can help you get set up with one, and we can see what we can do for a discount!

Thanks for the information, I do want the deeper tone with less raspy sound

For some reason everyone recommends X/H-pipe, but IMO if you want deeper sound without rasp, I recommend NOT messing with the resonator aka midpipe (X-pipe, H-pipe, Borla Crossfire--these all replace the stock resonator).

Instead, I recommend just modifying the muffler portion aka axle-back.

I started with a full muffler delete. It was DEEP, LOUD, bass waves vibrating through the car, like you could practically feel the sound pressure waves. Sounded like an old-school muscle car. Downside was heavy drone 1600-2100RPM. After the first week, I took it on a 1k+ mile roadtrip and barely noticed it, but if you're someone who gets headaches or are sensitive to noise I would recommend against it.

I switched to a Roush axle-back, and compared to the 'muffy D' it feels ~75% as loud, almost as deep, and no bothersome drone in driving. I love it. Borla Atak/S-type axle-backs prly sound similar. Borla probably has the best sound engineering (anti-drone) out of any brand, but even these Roush axle-backs are totally fine and a couple hundred bucks cheaper.

Another thing I learned was video doesn't capture sound differences well. I recorded cold starts and remote revs of muffler delete vs Roush axle-back, and it's often hard to hear the difference because phones auto-level the sound input, auto-reduce clipping (when the mic gets maxed out), etc.
