Corsa Exhaust
I just got my 96 LT4 and I was torn between Borla or Corsa. I have now decided to get the Corsa exhaust and im wondering where will be the cheapest place to get it. I found it at Ecklers for $899 and that looks like the cheapest so far....does anyone else know where to find it cheap?

I had Flowmasters in mine and I could not live with the interior resonance. It was too much and I installed Dynomax, they are quiet and I'm thinking into buying a cat-back system along with short headers. I might go with the Flowmaster cat-back wich is not as loud my previous pipes. Other owners talk good about the magnaflow system. I heard the borla one produces a lot of resonance too.

I used to have a Borla on mine ....any more than 30 mins driving and I had a headache, I have a Corsa now and as far as interior resonance ...well there aint none ........PERIOD , even if the Corsa cost $500 more I would still go out and buy the Corsa

B&B has a reducer in the resonator that chokes it down to 2.5" to give you SOME backpressure. So you buy a 3" system and only get the performance of a 2.5" system...go figure.

I have Corsa on both of my cars. I've experimented with different exhausts and found the stock to be the best with Corsa second.
I have a new exhaust on the way(it's in the prototype stage), once I get that on, I'll take it to the track for some results, though the company that's making it said it made the same power as the Corsa.

I am a fan of the Corsa... the quiet is worth every penny of the price.
I don't see why the driver and passenger has to subject themselves to such a boom just to sound cool to the outside world. It's what I hear inside that counts.
