Thanks.
AutoAnything has the whole system for $900, so I'll probably just go with that for the extra flow.

My personal experience with Magnaflow on my 85 with L98. Lots of drone especially on the highway, doesn't tuck up like the Corsa, loud. That said, it came with the car and was a custom fit since they don't do an 85 system. The sound when you get on it is habit forming. I do feel the extra power or torque from the system, I also have a stock system, new with the dual outlet muffles and a cross over tube on the Y-pipe. I'm sure the extra power is due to the 2 1/2 inch pipes. As loud as it is I still like it.

GKK was kind enough to drive out and meet me so I could listen to his Corsa exhaust. It sounds great. His car looks pretty great too.

I love the sound, and my car's going to be my daily driver for quite some time, so I want something without drone. Corsa is totally quiet while cruising but sounds wonderful at higher RPMs. I'm going to go with the Corsa.

Thanks for the input everyone!

It was nice, meeting you and your father today!

You guys are Awesome and you have a very special 1990 Vette!...I can't wait for the finished results of your hard work!...

Here are a couple of pictures of the 1990 ZR1 Corvette wheels, 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear. Notice the deep recessed lug nut area of the 11" rear wheels!...The current bid on *bay is, $835!!!...

Good to meet you as well!

I'll be sure to post pictures as I make progress.

Wow, those are expensive wheels I guess! Much better condition than mine though. I'll have to try stripping the clear coat and recoating them if I can't get the stains out.
