Corsa has NO resonance agreed however the sound is VERY different. You will either LOVE it or HATE it. You need to take the guys advice from Borla and go listen to a few different systems. The Corsa sound is not for everyone.

I love the sound and the look of my Borlas but there is a resonance that gets into your head at certain RPMs when the top is up only.
To battle this I installed 6 new speakers, two amps and a 12" sub.

Loudness and Resonance are two completely different animals. I love the throaty/rumble even somewhat loud.....but I hate the resonance, and it has not a lot to do with loudness. Resonance will give you a headache in a short period of time. My pickup isn't all that loud, but it certainly has resonance and if it were at a different RPM range, I would take the system off and replace it with something else. But it is at a low enough range (12-1500) that at normal driving it doesn't really affect me much. I refused to have resonance in the Corvette, so I went with Corsa.

Can you just buy the corsa mufflers and nothing else? I tried looking all over for them and can't find them.
Also do they come with 3" inlets? How about 3.5"?
I am going to be redoing my exhaust and can't stand the drone I get now - its SUPER bad in my car. There is so much vibration it actually cracks the stainless steel on tips of the mufflers! Its rediculous, open headers is actually less painful. Maybe I am getting old.

Its the Vette setup but I believe you can buy universal mufflers from them, more likely to have the opening sizes youre looking for.
Id also check out UltraFlow welded mufflers. I have a buddy with them who say's they are pretty quiet on his 650rwhp TT car. They are a VERY high flowing muffler.
