If you want to sound like a motor boat going down the road get the Corsa. I had Corsa on my C5 and went with Magnaflow on my 2007 C6. Getting my new 2012 grand sport on Monday with NPP.

Went to the MAM website to see the exhaust and there's a sound video of the Quad Cruiser 2005-2012 C6 Corvette Exhaust System.
Hard to tell from a sound video how an exhaust will actual sound, ...
but IMO it sounds kinda flat and my NPP when left open sounds better and has a lot of crackle and pop.
Again though, just my Opinion

I have the MA Motorworks exhaust w/ LG super pro long tubes and high flow cats. Exhaust isn't too loud but its better than stock.

I haven't had the other two, but I pulled the fuse on my NPP and love the sound. Volume and all of the burbling....

I'm pretty sure the OP wants to compare the above two exhausts to the MA Motorworks exhaust. Not in quality or which is better but which sounds most like the MA Motorworks.

I have the Mid-Am quad cruiser exhaust on my 2005 (on there when I bought the car) - I think it is no louder than the stock system but deeper in tone -- does not sound anything like the corsa sport - much quieter - I had Corsa touring with headers on my C5 -- it sounded great so maybe with headers the quad-cruiser would be ok.

I had the MAM Quadrapower exhaust with x-pipe on my C5 and they sounded awesome. The sound rating was 2-3-1. The price was too good to beat compared to Borla and Corsa.

For my '06, the NPP option would be nice...

My $.02

My vote is BB bullets. Corsa is to high pitched IMO.

Any exhaust from the factory sucks.
