Corsa vs Borla vs Stainless Works ?

What should I go with if I want a louder exhaust system with npp and should be the best bang for the buck ? will highly appreciate if you can post the links to the products too.
thanks

Corsa doesn't offer a NPP system

If you want the best bank for your buck the SW full will be about $1,000 cheaper then the other two.

Removing secondary cats is a good start, but you may find it's not loud enough or provides enough of a growl. You also want to consider how much tolerance you have for the dreaded drone:

SWorks although it's a good price, has been known to drone.

Borla and Corsa do not drone from all indications

Also, as other's have stated Corsa does not have NPP, so consider how important that is.

I was considering same options, but decided to go with Borla Atak.
I liked SSW price but didn't want to deal with drone - someone on this forum got rid of SSW system due to horrible drone.
I love Corsa Xtreme systems on just about any cars, but really wanted to keep NPP function, which Corsa doesn't offer.
I also considered Flowmaster system, but it seems it would have drone.

So,,,, I purchased Borla Atak. (haven't received it yet)

Borla beats them all in quality and sound in my opinion. I suppose that isn't the best bang for the buck though since they are the most expensive option. But there is a reason...

I ditched my npp for corsa. Love the sound but I wish it were a hair louder. Hopefully a second cat delete will fix that.

+1 for Borla ATAK! Definitely a head turner, and yet drone free. I love mine.

It may not be the cheaper option, but its definitely worth it and the smarter purchase in the long run thanks to its brilliant modular design.
The quality of Borla's exhausts seem like they will probably outlast the rest of your car anyway... but the NPP valves are moving parts, and moving parts tend to fail at a point eventually, regardless of the brand and manufacturer... and thats one way where the Borla NPP option is the smarter one, as with their axlebacks, if a valve ever gives you issues, you can just swap out the outer exhaust tip which contains the valve, instead of swapping out the entire axleback or doing any cutting and welding. easy.

BORLA


SW



Just my two cents.

If you want NPP functionality, then get Borla. Stainless Worst is junk--just listen to them on YouTube. Lethal did a comparison between SW, NPP & Hooker. The NPP sounded better than SW. If you don't care about NPP, then get the Corsa Xtreme. Personally, I don't understand the people getting a boner over NPP--I have zero interest in making my SS quiet/stealth. I've heard the NPP and it sounds great for $900--but the Corsa Xtreme sounds 10x better.

Some of us would like to sound loud and arrogant on the road, but respectful of neighbors sleep when cold-starting in the mornings or arriving home past midnight after a night out on the town plus its another nice little "gadget" to have lol

Some of us are more considerate of our neighbors and like to keep it quiet in the neighborhood but loud on the street.
