Both please, I tend to keep my cars about 5 years, so I want something that will last as long as my time with the truck.

Build quality of AWE and Borla/Ford Performance are going to be on par with one another. I'll give a slight nod to AWE Tuning considering that they are a more premium brand, but Borla has come a long way in the last few years.

Regarding sound quality, the Ford Performance systems (still built by Borla) are going to be more mild than their Borla branded counterparts. The Borla systems, both S-Type and ATAK, are known for having a bit of a raspy sound and can drone at highway speeds. However, this can be eliminated by using the Borla Resonator.

AWE systems have a unique sound to them so it's really personal preference. However, it's worth noting that due to the materials used on AWE, their exhausts do have a break-in period of 1000 miles. Once they get that break-in carbon coating, the sound changes and mellows significantly.

Stock vs Corsa sport

Corsa a little deeper sounding at start up, pretty much the same as stock up to 2,000 rpm gets a little louder after that. 3500 and up a lot louder than stock but in a good way.

Very happy so far. Easy install everything matched and lined up.

Thanks to Nick@gotexhuast for the quick replies and fast shipping.

I'm going Borla ATAK. Heard another one with the ATAK in person, sounds great.

Your gonna want the resonator part #60650. It is obnoxiously loud without it.

Nick - can you PM the price of a Borla Atak system with the Borla res please. Don’t need the tail pipes. Just the cost of the res and mod pipes

Just wanted to give an update. I got the Corsa Sport installed yesterday and I’m very happy. Sincerest thanks to Nick for helping me make the choice.

At first I didn’t think there was a tremendous change in volume or tone. But after driving around and listening to some cold starts I’m super stoked. It’s everything I had hoped for and was expecting. Idle is moderate and deeper than stock. With the windows up and driving conservative I can still make calls for work and the exhaust note is fine. Put your foot into it and it sounds great. At this point I wouldn’t even want any additional volume because I’m pretty sure it’s much louder outside of the truck.

I had a buddy randomly behind us earlier heading to little league and he immediately asked if I swapped exhaust, said it was very noticeable.

I know the stock exhaust was more than adequate but I can’t help myself. Corsa was a great choice on the Ecoboost. I ran Magnflow on my last truck and it did sound like a ricer.

If you are willing to spend the $ it was the best choice possible.

Thanks again to Nick!

Literally not much louder than stock inside the cab at all. The artificial exhaust tone is still probably louder. I am constantly on the phone for work so I was skeptical before changing from stock. I couldn’t be happier with the choice. Go for it. You can always go to Extreme if you want later.

@J Money - Glad we could help!

You kept the stock resonator, correct?

Yes sir. I went with the Corsa Sport which retains the stock resonator.

I tried to post a video/sound clip while driving but the file size was too large.
