Corsas
Oh and for those worried about loudness, I can set off car alarms (in a parking garage).
If you have the money and like the Corsa sound - go for 'em and you won't regret it!
Save the wave,
Jonathan

A Corsa catback won't really buy you any power. I put them on my LT4 because it was too quiet. The Corsa gives you the best of both worlds. NO resonance at cruise. Throaty when you stand on it.

when you visit the ENT, take a hearing test, find you have high frequency hearing loss from noise damage; your prospective on life changes real fast.
Protect what hearing you have remaining.

This clip does no justice. That must be stock headers and y-pipe and the 2.5" catback. My car is MUCH MUCH louder than that and sounds way better. I have the EM coated LT's, Magnaflow O/R X-pipe and full 3" B&B catback. Lucky for me, i bought the car this way as well but it sounds so good with the hotcam and everything.
Ill get a clip tomorrow so you guys can see what your missing...

not many people here will be affected
The B&B has 3" piping but its somewhat clogged, which is why the B&B seems to get quieter in the upper rpm range instead of the loudness growing at a consistent pace.Listen to a Corsa setup with no cats or resonator at 6k rpm...I haven't experienced it but reading this board people say its too much.

What nobody here has addressed yet is if he is running stock exhaust. If he his Corsa will not work. They don't make cat back for the L83. They start the L98 at 86. So if your willing to buy one and adapt it then go for it. If your looking for bolt on then it's a no go.
