Tired of MBRP Street, need help deciding on corsa vs borla upgrade

[dtxstang]

Hey everyone,

I've been running the MBRP Street for about 25k miles now, and it was a good "starter" exhaust but now I'm ready for something better. I'm looking for both more volume, and a better tone.

Listening to the Corsa Sport, Extreme, and Borla S Type videos, they all have a much better tone, and I think tone-wise I would be happy with any of them. The extremes are especially sweet.

Volume is what concerns me. I definitely want something louder than what I have now, but I also don't want to wake my neighbors (I park in a parking garage attached to an apartment complex, and my mbrp is barely audible in the building when I cold start).

For anyone who's heard these systems in person, how do the volumes compare? Is the Corsa Sport or Borla S Type an increase over the MBRP street, or would I have to go for the Extreme to get the volume boost I want?

Thanks in advance!

If there's anyone in the Austin, TX area with one of these I'd love to come listen to your car in person.

Corsa extreme! Had mbrp as well. Good price but hated the sound. Go corsa. You won't be disappointed.

Good to hear! How much of a volume increase is it coming from the MBRP Street?

It's louder but it sounds awesome!

I'm in the same situation. I have the mbrp street and I want something louder but I keep telling myself, "be happy with what you got." :frusty:

I started with the MBRP street. Then got the Borla s-type with a H pipe. It's a little louder at idle and cold starts are a little louder. I wish I would have got the atak. Now I have Roush axle backs and H pipe. This is loud at cold starts but not really that much louder than the other 2 at cold starts. All 3 have different tones. I didn't like the MBRP. Love the Borla. Just needed it to be louder and better looking tips. Roush has a better deep idle sound and screams in the higher RPM's. It's really what you like in the end. Do you like pops, crackles and gurgles in your exhaust or more of a flat smooth sound. Corsa is what I would get if I do another set up. What are you future goals for this car. If your going F/I then you should like at 3".

Corsa is something else. I'm catless headers corsa extreme guy, it's nice on the inside of the car, very loud on the outside. With all the road noise we have on our cheap chip seal roads, I can barely hear my exhaust cruising at 75 mph. I wouldn't want it any quieter inside the car.

I have had quite a few mustangs in my life and usually you have to remove the cats to get your exhaust where u want it. With Corsa Extreme it is just as loud with the cats. If you have emissions to worry about and want to keep your cats you will be more than happy with the extremes. Extremes without cats I hear is extremely loud but sounds awesome.

Both are great, just listen to clips and go with whichever you like best. I have the S-type and love it.

I've got the S Types. They really aren't that loud unless it's a cold start or WOT. But definitely no drone. That's what seems the to be the problem with the MBRP. I love them though.

Yep. I have the Corsa Touring AB and it is rather quiet inside the car. Sometimes I actually hear the exhaust outside the car (idling or rare chance windows are down) and it is actually a good volume!

I'm still tempted to get an axle-back though just to sound a bit meaner

Catless headers or even cat deletes would fix you right up. No drone at all with my MBRP Street. If you plan on putting headers or cat deletes in the future be aware that many of the other louder catbacks will be race car loud when you do. The one you have now is reasonable but still very loud on cold start up and WOT. I had the Stainless Works H-pipe catback previously and LOVED the way it sounded in noise level and tone before doing cat deletes. After the cat deletes it was stupid loud and I could not take it. Thats when I went with the MBRP Street to calm it down a bit. I still prefer the tone of the SW but the noise level is manageable now. These engines are almost impossible to get rid of the rasp at certain rpms once cat deletes or headers are introduced. Maybe with the suitcase resonators back on.

Originally was thinking about going this route, but since this car's my daily and I put a lot of miles on her, I've decided on holding off on anything that requires a tune. Also not just looking to just make the MBRP louder, because IMO the tone isn't the best. I do prefer the sound of the Borla & Corsa systems.

Thanks for all the input guys!
