CX5 Racing Beat VS Corksport Axleback Exhausts

[Catch22]

I have a 2019 cx5 turbo.

Can owners with experiences with any of these two exhausts please provide input/thoughts regarding cabin drone at 2k RPM and acceleration, exterior sound, weight, etc.

Thanks!

2017~2022 - CX-5 Borla vs Racing Beat Axle back Muffler

Would like to do exhaust mod on my 2021 CX-5 Carbon (non turbo). Will choose between Racing beat and Borla (touring version). Would appreciate any recommendations, information, comments or experience with these two manufacturers. Also info on best prices and distributers for Racing Beat...

Racing beat is silent in cabin unless you're 'on it'

The Racing Beat web site has some nice sound clips of their system.

The racing beat is quiet but at low rpm under load it has a different almost drone like sound. I wish I had a better mic to capture it.

Borla's are loud period.
My friend ran borla's on all his track vehicles which he also used as daily drivers. The sound gets monotonous after awhile, even on short 20 minute trips.

If you want to be heard get a Borla. If you want quiet cabin, get something else.
If I remember from listening to sounds clips in order of cabin loudness/drone.

Borla -loud
Corksport - medium
Racing beat- semi quiet

As my daily drive is long, I decided to stick with the stock exhaust for now.

If it sounds like a whizzing r/c drone, you may have an exhaust leak to find. My RB sounds nothing like a drone.

No, the cabin has a certain frequency that resonates at about 1400rpm under load, so think going up steep hills at 25-35 but just holding the pedal steady. Absolutely not a leak…
