What are your thoughts? What price did you end up getting it for?
Here are the promised review (obviously not sponsored… I wish haha)
Attached 2 sound clips, one stock one with the corsa cat back turn down.

Much more bass and throatier without being excessively loud. On cold start it sounds great, once warmed up, on idle as well as cruising it drops to almost silent. Guess the advertised reflective drone technology does work!
On throttle it gives a really nice tone without being annoying.
I like that it doesn’t try to make it sound like a sports car or a muscle car, just sounds… more like it’s bigger body on frame truck peers 😆.

Installation was pretty simple. The bolts on the flanges connecting to the CAT is in a pretty tight spot but it’s not difficult by any means.
The front mount muffler sits close to the driveshaft but not concerns close, if the drive shaft somehow hits the muffler there are bigger things to worry about.

Happy to answer any more questions or provide more vid/pic if need be!
Got it for around 1k after everything from Panda Motorwork

My was my price on Sunday was $900.15 delivered. I thought I was on the Corsa site, but I guess I wasn't. I Googled Corsa on my phone and selected the first result. Note the description and part number do not match the photo. See the coupon code on the bottom.

Also did you change air intake or keep OEM
Kept OEM for now to isolate the effect of the exhaust by itself, will upgrade to Roush / Cobb later (am in California so CARB limits my options to the least effective of the aftermarket intakes)

I also got the single turn down, not the one shown in the picture I sent. Sill using stock intake that I do not plan on changing at this point. I probably wouldn't have changed the exhaust if I wasn't going to get the DV8 trunk although I'm happy I did now since I like the way it sounds.

I actually just installed the Corsa Turndown on my 2.7 sounds AMAZING... No drone whatsoever loud on cold start, nice subtle rumble when warm. loud when you step on it. doesn't sound like a ricer v6 sounds deep and refined.
cant speak much on the Borla but my buddy had one on his bronco and just ordered the corsa after hearing mine so I'll leave that with you.

at the end of the day to each their own. if you prefer the Borla get the Borla. but if you have a chance to go to a meet up and hear a few exhaust options in person that's what I would do for sure.
How loud is the cold start? I wanna hear it, but I don't want to piss off the neighbors.

I won't lie, it's noticeably louder on cold start. If you live in a place that tends to echo, like a parking garage, people are going to know your schedule. Kind of sounds like a boat on idle to me, with a bit more rasp. If you like in a normal single family residence, I don't think it will be an issue.

I know you asked about corsa and borla - BUT here is a little cold start of my Roush axle back. Not too loud. Nice little rumble compared to stock.

(Previous ride was a 5.3 Chevy with long tubes, cam, and borla pro xs. Nowhere near that kind of drone with this setup 😅)

Any issues with drone? I was originally trying to decide between the Rousch and the Corsa.

Okay thanks for letting me know. I live in Denver and get up early to ski in the winter, so cold starts are a legit concern. Trying to be an adult and a teenager at the same time. Haha

Not really I think with anything that's not the stock muffler you will have a louder exhaust for sure. Def a lot of rumble to this in lower gears. Personally I love it tho.

No drone I have noticed, but I only have about 70 miles on it. It's very stock like at highway speeds, like I can't even tell the difference. You only notice when it downshifts. In town, you know it's there, but I like it because I can hear the shifts happen by the tone.
