Corsa Extreme VS Borla ATAK - Battle of the best exhaust systems for the HEMI!

A few days ago, our friend Steve over at Hammerdown Motorsports shared his opinion on why he went with the Borla exhaust over the Corsa, so now's my turn to share why I went with the Corsa exhaust over Borla.
Both systems sound amazing but the Corsa system is the total package from the quality, to the sound, all the way to the tips.
Head over to Steve's page and let him know which exhaust you think is better!
Huge THANK YOU to Steve for sending over some clips to use in my video.

Borla Atak for sure. It has a deeper, yet aggressive, tone. Thanks for the clips!

[@juliusjones972]

I purchased the Borla system for my Ram because of this video thank you so much for this awesome content here on the KZbin app.

[@sarrum7696]

First, great video. Thanks for taking the time. They are both awesome. I’d personally go with the Borla just because I like the lower tone. But this is really just personal preference, there’s not right or wrong.

[@raymondfreman1612]

I had both . Had the Corsa first on my 20 bighorn night edition and Borla on my 21 Laramie sport . You absolutely can not go wrong with either. I personally prefer the Borla sound BUT I agree with you on the tips Corsa did that better. Love your Channel both you and Hammerdown are great.

[@Kliffy77]

Informative video thanks, Both systems are premium but I prefer the Borla.

[@loucetano5415]

Great video, and beautiful truck. Tough decision as both are top notch, but that Borla sound can’t be beat.

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

I noticed big gains with my catback Magnaflow..not to loud unless you get on it but I just raced a limited ecoboost and turned out even which is impressive 😁

[@FelipeViguerasGermanShepherd]

Awesome video and thank you for the side by side comparison. After watching this video definitely going with the borla atak for my 1500 zr2

[@WaterFowler41]

That's an awesome truck!

[@MrShou5]

Thanks for the Vid. After watching this I will go with the Borla

[@TesterOfProducts]

Well. Now I'll be getting a Corsa Extreme exhaust setup for my 300S. Great comparison

[@mattmillard2625]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm torn on which one I like best. I need to decide and order soon.

[@WaterFowler41]

Both are great exhaust systems but I love my Corsa system!

[@bowen704]

Thanks for the video I initially thought I liked the borla but now I'm more partial towards the corsa extreme. Just found out theres a corsa place not too far from me too

[@ej1025]

I like the muscly/throaty deep tone of the Borla personally, but the Corsa would definitely be my second pick for its nice clean rasp. I'd maybe choose the Corsa for a luxury/sporty truck. Just my opinions 👍

[@tommcw5149]

Both sound freaking Awesome. Borla for me. But 2 excellent choices 👌🏻 👏 👍🏻

[@waterboy9337]

I was torn between these 2 systems until watching this video. I went with the Borla because of a deeper tone. Very nice video and great sound clips of both. Like you said, both are great but it really boils down to which system you prefer.

[@Steven_Will]

Any drone?

[@WaterFowler41]

Negative with the Corsa system, I don’t know about the Borla

[@rubenrodriguez5885]

I like them both but I had to go with the Borla for my rebel. It sounds awesome to me.

[@sosoclutch1346]

Something bout that Borla just gets me ❤❤❤❤

[@eddiediaz4119]

I would definitely choose the Borla!!! That this sounds awesome

[@stronglikebull2994]

You did a great job lining up the tips on the Corsa. I've owned 2 Corsa systems, both outlasted the vehicles. The Borla sounds a little deeper but the main reason Corsa takes my pick is the (RSC) Reflective Sound Cancellation. They've always done a phenomenal job keeping the drone out of the cabin and making it everyday drivable. But can't go wrong with either.

[@WaterFowler41]

Yup! I was in cruise control yesterday on the interstate and was thinking how quiet it was even with all my windows open. Huge kudos to Corsa for the design.

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

They both are amazing and have 0 drone. I noticed the corsa drones a little when MDS kicked in on my buddies rebel. Which was annoying

[@frost-oc5gt]

So would the borla exhaust system sound the same on a ram 2500 5.7l hemi?

[@MrSixxshooter]

I like the sound of the Corsa extreme better . Corsa wins in my book . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️

[@WaterFowler41]

Couldn’t agree more!

That’s what I’m saying !

[@anthonyval6504]

Borla 100% sounds like a beast . You did a great justice for borla doing this video😅

[@invincible4927]

Nice video! I have corsa on my charger, but I can’t find an extreme kit for my 21 Ram 1500. Where did you find this? Corsa is only offering sport for the 21 Ram 1500 from what I can see….

[@WaterFowler41]

You may have to buy the sport and the resonator delete pipe separate. Give corsa a call

[@joeweiss924]

Hi, Your vids are great, thanks. Talk to me about your bed step. What is the brand? I have the Borla exhaust and it interferes with the OEM bed step.

[@WaterFowler41]

It’s from deezee

[@johnkoko]

Since you've had both, is your preference Still Corsa? I'meaning that way. But it's a tough call. Which one was better in the cabin? Drone wise that is

[@WaterFowler41]

I have corsa, never had borla. The borla truck is steve over at Hammerdown motor sports. I personally like the more race car-easque sound of the Corsa and the tips look much better than the borla single walled rolled tips.

[@richhilton155]

Either one I would go with!! They both sound awesome!

[@WaterFowler41]

Agree!

[@dougdonaho]

Younger me - Corsa Older me - Borla They both sound awesome!

[@Gabebar85]

I do love the corsa tips, what I don’t like is the in your face logo and that they are not at an angle. But they are better.

[@dennymac94]

I’m torn between the two. I like the Borla overall because of the tone, but the Corsa sounds amazing at higher RPMs. I’m leaning towards the Borla though for my Ram.

[@codyrecanati7718]

Just stumbled upon this video. Both are amazing exhausts and both sound right to the right ears. I prefer the Borla for a Ram because it’s got a deeper tone and just sounds more like a truck. The corsa sounds good and I love their exhausts but it makes the Ram sound raspy like a charger or challenger so I’d prefer the truck to sound more like a truck. Borla for me. No hard feelings hopefully😂

[@HSOTOJR78]

I wish they made the Borla Atak system for the GEN 4 Ram because I do like the deep Aggressive muscle sound. So I might just go with the Corsa.

[@ryanwalsh2679]

I checked the corsa website and didn’t see the “extreme.” Is it the sport exhaust with the resonator delete add on?

[@WaterFowler41]

Yes

[@unixdoes]

like them both. i don't think you can go wrong with either. had the corsa on my last truck, so trying the borla now...hopefully it doesn't lead to divorce on road trips.

[@masquinongy4652]

I know this is 2 years later, but I’m really torn on looking up all these different exhausts for my ram 1500 hemi lol. Borla was my initial choice, so how has it been holding up for you after a couple years later? Still enjoying it?

[@joshjanisch378]

They are both sick!

[@WaterFowler41]

Agree

[@a.c.f.allcaliberfirearms2840]

Either for me they both sound great , Borla seems a little more throaty , I am pretty easy to please tho.....I have a Rado 6.2 CC with dual's and I love it , I am not Bias towards any manufacturer and if I was looking to buy a new truck I think it would be a ram 1500 white with color matching front end there is one here I see every couple days and I think it is the best looking truck on the road , I would definitely miss the 6.2 tho!!

[@chefvalenzuela3483]

Borla attack! I just have to start saving up money to buy it.

[@travisbickle131]

I have a 2023 ram 1500 limited and im torn between these two systems. Im leaning towards the Corsa, but I do love that low, growling tone of the Borla.

[@WaterFowler41]

You really cannot go wrong with either! Good luck with your purchase.

[@GoodCorporateRobot]

I put the Corsa Sport with a rez delete in my 2020 Laramie just over two years ago. While it does sound amazing, I just can't get over how quiet it is in the cab. I wanted an exhaust system that wasn't crazy loud and I got what I asked for. I wanted to switch out just the muffler to a Borla Atak but Borla will not sell the muffler only. My installer has two Borla 40641 XR-1 Stainless Steel Racing Bullet Mufflers so we are going to pull the Corsa muffler and put those in (just bolting on) and see what that does. Anyhow, as has been said both of these products are as good as it gets.

[@WaterFowler41]

The ram cabs are designed well, the Corsa extreme is loud but between the cab sound deadening and Corsa’s no drone design, cab noise is minimal.

[@ZmannR2]

Did y’all both take the resonators off as well?

[@WaterFowler41]

I did on my Corsa system.

[@DizzyDave26]

This video just sold the "Borla atak" for my truck! Literally just set up the apt.

[@WaterFowler41]

awesome

[@jonadam5392]

Both sound good but Borla takes the win for me, but not by much. Hows the cab quality? Can you still have a conversation with out yelling to one another?

[@WaterFowler41]

Yup that’s the beauty of a well designed rear exhaust system, the noise is out the rear of the truck and no cab noise whatsoever.

[@shaq4134]

Go with the Carven exhaust system!

[@android-ud2nf]

I have a corsa extreme on my mustang gt and I love the raspy sound

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Love that Borla, lol

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Cool vid and yours may be faster but mine has the 35's slowing it down but I'd still race you one day if we get the chance,,, Cheers Man

[@kylem6481]

I love em both but for a truck I'm glad I got the Borla. Little deeper tone for me is exactly what I was looking for. I will say I like the construction (double wall) tip of the Corsa better but I think the stick out just slightly too much. Borla tucks under and lines up a little better. Both are awesome and are a millions times better than the stock exhaust! 👍💪

[@khyoon14]

borla for sure

[@chriscarlson8756]

Awesome comparison video guys! Love both your channels. Thoughts on B2 Fabrication muffler delete? That’s the route I’m taking.

[@WaterFowler41]

Not a bad route and I know the guy at B2 stands behind his products. I personally prefer a catback system so when the truck is sold I can sell the exhaust and recoup some of the costs.

[@abashashraf8440]

Both are awesome

[@WaterFowler41]

I agree!

[@manny6227]

I Have To Corsa Extreme Exhaust. Totally Happy With It. I Just Don't Know What Long Tube Headers To Add To Them Since Corsa Don't Make Them For Our Trucks Yet

[@evancabrera2463]

Stainless steel works and Kooks make long tube headers for the 2019+ ram 1500

[@WaterFowler41]

And American racing headers. With the extreme exhaust, adding headers isn’t for the faint of heart!!

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

great video thanx

[@ronfellowsz0657]

Borla gives it that deep V8 sound and made the truck sound the way it should have from the factory. Corsa while sounding good is too high pitch. Another vote for the Borla!

[@TommyTheVideoMaker]

Will Corsa work if you get the GT package with the Laramie or Rebel?

[@WaterFowler41]

Yes it will!

[@TommyTheVideoMaker]

@@WaterFowler41 well we know the GT package for the Laramie and Rebel is loud, but the Corsa exhaust will make it louder.

[@WaterFowler41]

Yup

[@TommyTheVideoMaker]

@@WaterFowler41 I saw a used 2022 Laramie with a night package in flame red color it had one accident, when I saw a black one without the GT package I went with it now I’m believing to save for it. It had the Night package and RamBox Muti Function Tailgate and panoramic sunroof with the large touch screen. And I’m attending to put a corsa exhaust on it. When the truck is bought I will make a video of it for you.

[@goliath701]

Borla sounds better to me....

[@denots42]

Would this fit on a 2018 rebel

[@WaterFowler41]

You will need the kit for your specific truck, this kit only fits the 2019+ new body style Rams

[@richardpimentel6771]

Well designed tips are nice but sound is what I go with. Although after your kids Corsa endorsement I just might swap out Borla for Corsa! lol

[@WaterFowler41]

You have to take the little one’s word for it, how can you not trust someone in snakeskin boots!

[@khyoon14]

Sell my your borla hahahaha

[@redchris1757]

Both great but I prefer borla.

[@MrSixxshooter]

Also remember the Corsa Guarantees zero drone . I keep hearing mixed reviews about drone on the Borla systems . Most are saying zero drone but I would say about 10% of the feed back I’m reading says there’s a lot of drone on the Atak . I ain’t got no time for any drone .

[@WaterFowler41]

I also hear people say the Corsa system isn’t loud but I think they are confusing that with in cabin drone. The Corsa system is really loud when you are standing behind the truck, because they engineer our drone, you barely hear the kit inside the cabin. Some people want to hear drone I guess

[@MrSixxshooter]

@@WaterFowler41 Exactly right .

[@user-nr3qy6wz3u]

I went Borla on my TRX and it now sounds like a true sports truck. Corsa makes the TRX sound like it’s corked and farting at the same time. Borla makes it sound ferocious. With the Borla system, the truck feels like it picked up a good amount of power. Borla is a full 3 inch system and Corsa is a 2.75 inch system which makes no sense why they don’t offer a full 3” on a truck like the TRX.

[@WaterFowler41]

Cool

[@Patriot-fl3ch]

For me; borla with corsa tips.

[@Gdimina]

I have a Borla Attack on my 426 maggy 2650 hellcat with cam and ling tubes and it’s insanely loud and sounds great snd i had one on ny old stock Ram Rebel 5.7l I just put a corsa extreme on ny built zl1 1le that has a stage 3 cam and lling tubes eith 3 “ primaries and it’s crazy loud!! It was loud e with the stock exhaust from the Cam snd headers but the Corsa extreme took it to a whole new level. I also line that corsa supplied nic black duel tiios unlike the borla

[@Gdimina]

Just ordered the corsa for the Lunar edition TRX

[@ghernandez2097]

Would u say one has more power gains then other, not really going for sound going for more performance

[@WaterFowler41]

I don't think one's going to give you any more performance than the other one. It comes down to the look of the kit and the sound.

[@gman21266]

Borla is 3 inch. Corsa is a little smaller at 2.75 inch. So, the Borla should give slightly better performance.

[@brendenmoldy]

Based on sound clips, Borla system. Who knows in person though, maybe there is something to the Corsa.

[@abasin08]

Is that a straight up cat back exhaust, or cold air intake as well?

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

Is they both sound amazing.. which is why I went with borla and why I tell everyone too. You can find the borla for under $1100 all the time. Corsa is always over $2000. Not sure why they have the audacity to charge literally double for the same quality and equally nice sound. Personally I don’t like the tips on the corsa, they look like stock corvette exhaust pipes. This is a truck not a sports car.

[@WaterFowler41]

I don’t even think the Corsa kit is listed on their website for $2k so if sites are overcharging, I’d steer clear from them. I just bought the Corsa kit for my dad’s truck for $1200 from Accessory Parts.

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

@@WaterFowler41 looks like it came Down a little bit but I can’t find on any sites for less then 1500… so what site did you find the corsa extreme with black tips for 1200? The place you listed doesn’t even have it for the 19-22 models. It has it for the classic body or pre 19 body for 1800.. Borla is on sale right now for 1030.00.

[@WaterFowler41]

Reach out to the team at Accessory Parts and tell them Water Fowler 41 suggested you reach out to them

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

@@WaterFowler41 I will as a buddy is looking for this kit. The problem is to get the best sound you need the xtreme version. The sport kit with black tips is $1400 on their site. Then it’s another $240 for their front resonator delete pipe, that is why makes the kit the “xtreme” version. So all in all you still will be at close to $2000 for the exhaust with sales tax. Appreciate the reply but it is still double The cost as the borla almost.
