You probably have seen this already but here it is just incase. Not in person but may give you an idea compared to a few others . I have an appointment with Davenport for the Corsa extreme one . and yes they are a bit far away for you.
I believe I mentioned that part..........
You can try to attend many corvette shows and cruise night in the GTA and surrounding area.
If you don't mind me asking what has made you consider Borla not having had a chance to hear one yet ? In choosing Corsa I'm just going by comparison videos, through a very good sound system though, but still not like the real thing as you point out. And reviews as well.
Interesting as I found the same thing regarding the Corsa Extreme, lol. Like you say you would have to hear them and go for a drive, windows up then down, valves open and closed etc. Speaking of NPP valves they are " binary " , either fully open or in the closed position.
You sure did amigo ..... It will never be the same as in person ... however the vid will give you some idea of the sound ... especially to compare ..
$145 cad option with the Corsa but free installation. That is for the area behind the exhaust tips . Is that the heat shielding you are referring to ?
Honestly the biggest headache is finding a reputable local seller with a decent price point. I can order from American sellers or borla directly and have it shipped over to Buffalo. That's option one. I found a few authorized Canadian retailers that actually end up at a lower price point after currency conversion and hassle of going over the boarder, but they all have bad reviews and terrible BBB ratings. Buying expensive parts from Canada sucks

Why do you want to cross the border when these guys can bring them into the GTA for a reasonable fees. imo.

Because I don't want to pay someone to over the boarder and get something for me. It only takes me an hour drive. Why would I want to introduce another middle man who wants his cut?Why do you want to cross the border when these guys can bring them into the GTA for a reasonable fees. imo.

Borla 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 6.2L S-Type Exhaust System Dual Round Rolled A/C Black Chrome Tips - 140838BC
Developing systems for the C8 Corvette presented Borla engineers with unique challenges, but our team was up to the challenge. Great care was taken to ensure the integrity and function of the system as well as the vehicle itself. Part number 140838 includes both AFM and NPP dual mode exhaust...

If you are close to the border and can spare time to do so, it is all good.
No. the whole exhaust. The Mufflers. Similar to the stock piece. All the C8 Borlas has this cover/shield.
As in....the first one is the oem c8 performance exhaust which has similar second one is the Borla . I wonder could the oem one be transfered to the Corsa . No idea how its attached. Not something I thought of when speaking with Davenport but should have . They did offer to replace the small ones behind the exhaust tips with new black ones rated for 1750 degrees but made no mention of the x-pipe and mufflers . I will be calling and inquiring. Certainly something you should have. Or not , have to look into it. None of the exhaust piping is in contact with anything so is it really necessary ?
