Corsa makes a nice catback, but to me it is almost like a stock exhaust sound. Even the B&B catback is not that loud, unless you go with a X-pipe instead of a resonator (but now you'll have resonance). Muffler elims have a sound of their own. It's loud and raspy with some "girgle" when you let off the gas. I'd try this route first as it is much less expensive.

I went with the Corsa cat back system. I have been very happy with it. You get just what they advertise. have gotten many positive comments.

Have an exhaust shop make you some elims first. It should cost around $120 for everything. If you don't like it you can always go to the expensive corsa system and you have not lost much.
