I have one on my car, but would like to get a Corsa. The Corsa can be had for a little over $700, whereas the B&B's are 1200.00.

So - I got to thinking... If someone wanted a B&B, they could buy a Corsa and swap me. That way they wouldn't be paying the MUCH higher price.

Any takers?

Curious why you want to change out the 3" TriFlo for the 2 1/2" Corsa?? I just ordered the Corsa for $750 but I'd like to hear your opinion anyway.

VetteBoy,
I had a '99 C-5 & a '00 C-5 and I had Corsas on them and loved the sound at WOT.

Plus, I think the Corsas do a better job with resonation, as my B&B's resonate pretty bad. They don't do it all the time, but in the Rpm ranges that it does resonate, it gets old.

The only down side to the Corsas is the sound at idle (IMO), but I prefer that over the resonation.

Buddy... You are in for a rude awakening on sound.. The Corsa's with headers(which you will have *very* soon, btw ) are unbelievably loud. They still sound terrible IMHO but slightly better than with the stock header cats. You are also going to lose some power going from the Tri-Flo to the Corsa. You can get the new Tri-Flo(no resonance) from Exotic Muscle for $975. An extra $225 for close to 10rwhp over Corsa's is well worth it..
